- Thanks for the feedback. I'm quite sure the convention for button text is infinitive, not imperative, though. (I've seen that explained a few places, some of them on forum.wordreference.com.) It would be nice, I suppose, if requête (noun) had a corresponding verb requêter, but I've been unable to find it in any dictionary, although I've seen it used a few places. Technical documentation seems to use demander or interroger for the English "to query." Non-technical documentation seems to use demander or rechercher. At least the noun is certain. Structured Query Language appears to have the "official" translation of Langage de Requête Structurée." --Saftzie (talk) 22:57, June 10, 2016 (UTC)
- To give this request a little more context, I'd say to consider a page like Special:NewPages in French or Special:ListUsers in French. The small program for which these strings are prompts and messages does something similar, but different. HTH --Saftzie (talk) 06:57, June 11, 2016 (UTC)
I am not quite sure if I chose the right words. But I tried the dictionary and indeed you are right requêter doesn't exist xD. But requérir does, and that means: 1. demanding quickly, desire 2. claim 3. require (translated from a Dutch-French dictionary). So I will change the verb with this one, if you have alternatives you can add them. --Gebruiker:Goudvacht 15:07, June 11, 2016 (UTC)
- I'll push to production with what I have. Terminée is probably a better choice than complétée, so I went with that. I also decided retouvée is a better choice than trouvée. Otherwise, I'll see if native French users are appalled at the grammar if/when they use it. --Saftzie (talk) 05:02, June 14, 2016 (UTC)
