"Updating news programs"


Explanation:
Without mcuh context difficult to say, but if it is about television then informatique refers to the news. Otherwise you could say "updating computer programs" but I think this is for a different context.

computer programs (or programmes) update


Explanation:
The site below quotes:
"computer program: Schedule or plan that specifies actions expressed in a form suitable for execution by a computer. [ISO/TR 9544:1988] [French term: programme informatique] "
(by the way, software is "logiciel" in French.)

computer programs update (not upgrade)


Explanation:
As I stated before the translation of "mise a jour des programmes informatiques" would be "computer programs (programmes in England) update" Upgrade, in English, is translated "Mise a niveau" in French. Update means to make up to date (mettre a jour). Upgrade means to get something (software or hardware) that is better that what you already have (you go to some higher grade). I stand by the translation above.

EDP program update


Explanation:
Hi! I thought more replies were needed (smile). "Computer" might be better than "EDP" -- No one seems to use EDP any more -- Tess.
