you can use accounting movements but it means credit and debits. Accounting movements is not very used in English in an Accounting Text or Accounting Programs.

You will as likely as not, not find it

Google is not a translator and ergo does not understand Context and Meaning.

disagree  rhandler: Os movimentos não são apenas crédito e débito, como demonstram os exemplos que acrescentei. Contabilidade vai muito além disto.// Em bancos é ainda mais complexo: financiamentos, fundos de investimento, etc.

  -> this is for a Bank....

disagree  nguedes: Estou ainda um pouco perdida sobre como usar este site. Agradeço a ajuda, mas a expressão 'Credits/Debits' é um pouco redutora. Pretendo descrever não só ditos movimentos, mas também o repositório ('database table') onde eles estão registados

Para que não pairem dúvidas, examine este exemplo, onde se descreve um programa de computador que realiza diversas análises contábeis e financeiras. No menu "Editar", mande localizar "accounting movements":

Neste último exemplo, verifique os itens [0034] e [0071], onde encontrará a expressão. O primeiro exemplo também é muito bom.

disagree  Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X): google is not a translator. Just because the term is on google does not mean it fits the context or the meaning. Any trained translator can tell you that. Why have proz if all we need is google?

  -> Não estou usando Google como tradutor, mas como confirmador do uso das expressões, e no contexto desejado. Sua opinião está enviesada pela sua competitividade por pontinhos, o que é uma pena, pois é o consulente quem acaba por ser prejudicado. Lastimável

agree  nguedes: Concordo com Rhandler: o nº de entradas no Google só comprova a existência de muitos textos que usam a expressão em análise. Poderão estar errados? Poderão ser más traduções de outros textos? Podem...alguns, mas não todos.

  -> Obrigado, nguedes. Pelo menos os exemplos que apresentei acima usam corretamente a expressão. A propósito, se você é a consulente, não deveria opinar, mas pontuar a resposta escolhida.
