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.) Reference: http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/iso/tc46sc9/standard/690-2e.htm |

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. Reference: http://www.linux-france.org/prj/jargonf/U/upgrade.html |
