downgrade

French translation: revenir à la version antérieure

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:downgrade
French translation:revenir à la version antérieure
Entered by: JennyC08 (X)

English to French translations [PRO]
Computers: Software
English term or phrase: downgrade
Software localisation:
The translator proposes: "Mettre à niveau inférieur".
I think it is too long (it has to fit on a clickable button) and that it is not a clear expression.
I would propose for the button "Version antérieure" or for the rest of the strings "Convertir en version antérieure".
What do you think?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

rétrograder / déclasser
Explanation:
Je pense que le traducteur avait raison, il n'est pas question de version, cela pourrait être un niveau ou une classe - mais ce serait utile d'avoir la phrase
