French term
badgeage
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Manufacturing
Hello everyone,
I'm translating a document for a factory that processes meat products and the section that I'm currently working on deals with different options that are displayed on the computer screens of various workstations.
This section is entitled:
Returning items to the workshop
and the next line is:
Sur un écran tactile, après *badgeage* du nom de l’opérateur pour identification :
and then the text describes the steps the operator takes to carry out this procedure.
I'm really not sure how to translate "badgeage" but obviously it appears to be a way for the operator to identify himself (by swiping a ID badge maybe?)?
I found a few websites in French and English describing "terminaux de badgeage" which is translated as "biometric fingerprint readers" in English, but that doesn't make sense because in the text, it specifically mentions the operator's name...
I would greatly appreciate any help!
Kind regards,
Sara

badging
You may have to play around a bit to work it in neatly, but it basically means using your ID 'badge' (usually one of these electronic 'smart card' things) to sign in with (either by swiping, or more recently, by simply presenting it in front of the reader)

Note that as 'badging' in EN can have other meanings too, if the context is not explicit, one might need to use something like 'badge identification' or 'badge sign-in', 'electronic clock-in', etc. etc. (depending on context)

Thanks, Chris! LOL — with immortality facing them, they have a different time-scale from the rest of us...

Thanks, W/E! Well, the 'sweating beasts' only need to get their act together and be a bit more pro-active about this particular 'plunging wain'... I must admit, I shall forever see the AF in a new light, imagining 40 eternally-sweating beasts...

Thanks Liz. The text really isn't clear and unfortunately there aren't any pictures or further descriptions... but this is exactly what I was thinking it probably means... I've just been having difficulty confirming it. |

Way to go, mates, there are still many cute English words waiting to be appropriated.
To confirm it is a common word, when I worked at Argonne, every time I lost my badge I had to go to the <em>Badging Office</em> before they let me in.
