Agree with Terry ;-)
Terry Richards Feb 20, 2012:
Check with the client There are many possible translations. CC has offered a perfectly good one but it will be no use at all if the client has already produced the machine and labelled the button "Sync. Stop" or something else. For that matter, they may have left the original French labels on the buttons and you shouldn't translate them at all! It's not likely but it could happen and we/you have no way of knowing.
