GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:barre hiérarchique
English translation:breadcrumb bar

French term or phrase: barre hiérarchique
La barre hiérarchique affiche des informations sur le client au fur et à mesure que les données sont saisies.

This sentence is part of the caption of a screen shot, showing the entry for a particular client. The arrow from 'barre hiérarchique' points to a series of tabs, but I think it is supposed to point to the row above, which lists the types of clients (e.g. individual, corporate).

Could 'barre hiérarchique' mean all the tabs as a set?

This is part of a manual for a automated payment system for a major Quebec firm.

A link to a website would be helpful. I don't want to make up a term (hierarchical bar), I want to employ the term used in the anglophone IT world. Thanks.

Breadcrumbs or breadcrumb trail is a navigation aid used in user interfaces. It gives users a way to keep track of their locations within programs or documents.
Breadcrumbs typically appear horizontally across the top of a web page, usually below title bars or headers. They provide links back to each previous page the user navigated through to get to the current page or—in hierarchical site structures—the parent pages of the current one. Breadcrumbs provide a trail for the user to follow back to the starting or entry point. A greater-than sign (>) often serves as hierarchy separator, although designers may use other glyphs (such as » or ›), as well as various graphical treatments.
Typical breadcrumbs look like this:
Home page > Section page > Subsection page or Home page >> Section page >> Subsection page

neutral  Kiwiland Bear: A word of warning - while this term is clearly MS-approved I'm not too sure of its grass-root popularity. In 20+ years in IT field I have rarely heard (or even seen!) it used. We usually used "strip" or "strip links" for that.
