French term

Cadran

French to English Tech/Engineering Computers (general)
This appears in the specifications for an application to be used to make various declarations.

The full sentence:
"Une déclaration peut être considérée comme étant un ensemble de cadrans, un cadran est un ensemble de champs linéaires ou un tableau contenant un nombre limité de colonnes."

I have screen, face, dial...non seem to fit in this context. Any thoughts?

Et si cadran était remplacé par 'option' ?

Suggestions (not a specialist in the field) Two ideas:
1) frame
2) Omit it. Just translate "Une déclaration peut être considérée comme étant un ensemble de champs linéaires ou un tableau contenant un nombre limité de colonnes."
Lorraine Dubuc Dec 11, 2013:
Je ne crois pas que 'cadran' soit mal écrit ou qu'il s'agisse d'une erreur. C'est le 'jargon' qu'il représente qui est difficile à rendre en anglais.

Tally? I can't find "cadran" but I found "cadrer" which can mean "to tally", which seems to fit the context. Perhaps it's a neologism or simply misspelled?

Quadrants? Mispelling for a part of screen separated by vertical and horizontal lines? This could fit with the idea to fit tables with lines and columns in them?
Lorraine Dubuc Dec 11, 2013:
Si c'est pris au sens figuré: 'a declaration can be viewed as a control panel, each gauge representing a group of linear fields or a table with a limited number of columns'
DLyons Dec 11, 2013:
Dashboard maybe. Popular in certain business process applications.
Lorraine Dubuc Dec 11, 2013:
Normally in technical texts 'cadran' is translated by 'gauge' but in the present sentence it is not likely to be the case.

I think this refers to the part of the app that allows people to choose from various options. Picker is the term used, e.g. date-picker, colour-picker, font-picker, etc.
