>>Funny - I'd have thought you were Quebecois!

Quebecois is my nationality, French is the language I speak.

>>Sure - it means "opening", comme l'ouverture d'une porte, n'est ce pas?

Yes it does.

>>>What IS the French for a "log" then (and I don't mean a chopped-down tree).

Feuille de controle, je crois, or "historique"


>>Being French myself, I would never use 'Notation' for login.

>Funny - I'd have thought you were Quebecois! Though, having visited Quebec a few time I've found them to be more French than the French! :)

>>Notation is a noun that translates to notation in English which means "data representation", which doesn't really mean "login", I would go with "ouverture de session" and if you need to shorten it just use "ouverture".

>Sure - I knew this. It was just a suggestion, not knowing what a French system would have (what do they have by the way?). What IS the French for a "log" then (and I don't mean a chopped-down tree). The French language is too inflexible to allow a term like "log in". I guessed there'd be some new suggestions once you guys woke up and turned to. :)

>>BTW in French "ouverture" is unrelated to musical pieces, or ballet.
