Hi, that doesn't mean self input but automatic input, but I'll discuss it with Jean-Baptiste, this translation is there for years, not sure there is a benefit in changing it - Sophie

Not at all. Translating "Autoinput" by "AutoSaisie" is just bad translating, and the fact that is has been there for years surely can't be a valid argument:

"Le préfixe auto-, du grec autos, signifie « soi-même » et il est soudé au mot qui le suit, sauf si ce mot commence par un i ou par un u. Le trait d’union est aussi préférable lorsque le second élément commence par un o.

Exemples :

- Cette entreprise a eu recours à un autofinancement.
- Ils ont demandé à leurs employés de faire une autoévaluation de leur rendement.
- Le four autonettoyant facilite grandement l’entretien de la cuisinière.
- L’auto-immunisation peut prévenir l’auto-infection.
- Nous travaillons à la conception d’une nouvelle antenne auto-orientable."

Best regards

So, still your translation doesn't reflect what the functionality is doing: automatically completing a word that has already been entered in the same row. Alos AutoSomething is translated to Autoquelquechose every where in the product (with the same idea behind of a shortcut for automatic), so for consistency it should be replaced everywhere.
Changing something that is here for years has a cost, users have to get used to it, documentation, training material and so on has to be changed, etc. 
Jean-Baptiste and me are working on FR l10n, we will decide together if it has to be changed. BTW on which project are you French Language Coordinator? Sophie

"Saisie semi-automatique" définit une fonction qui permet à l'utilisateur d'entrer uniquement les premiers caractères d'un champ déjà tapée précédemment et d'obtenir automatiquement le contenu du champ.

It is much longer, yes, but could be something else. Like any good translation, thoughts have to go into it. Quality does not always come easy.  

The fact that a translation has been wrong one way or another for years cannot possibly be a reason not to correct it. This kind of logic implies that if a coding bug has been present for such a long time that users are now used to the buggy behaviour, then it shouldn't be corrected.

A discussion needs to be open to get anywhere, and the result of a true resolution process, not a unilateral decision between your and your colleague.

So what is your proposal? what for other identical strings in the UI?

My colleague as you said and me are translating UI and help of this product since more than 17 years, so yes as doers, we will discuss it together and make a decision how we think this translation is best. Sophie

For me the translation "AutoSaisie" is correct, as I consider that the actor here is the application: the user allows the application to enter data itself (please note the checkbox in front of the menu entry).

So closing as NotABug.

FWIW, long ago I changed e.g. “Autocorrección” in the Spanish localization for “Corrección automática”, for this exact reason.

Unfortunately, "autosaisie" and "saisie automatique" or "saisie semi-automatique" are very different concepts and marking this bug as resolved and not a bug doesn't change the reality of this translation error. As Adolfo Jayme commented, it is exactly the same for Spanish, but the Spanish translation team seems to be more open and proactive in their case. 

We have the same problem problem with "AutoCorrection" being used instead of Correction automatique. Moreover in "AutoCorrection" the capital C in the middle of the word is a typographical aberration.

It is highly unprofessional to end such a discussion but just closing the bug report.

Best regards

You can't confirm your own bugs. Moving it back to UNCONFIRMED until someone else confirms it.

I'm closing this bug as both Jean-Baptiste and me (FR l10n team) agree on the right translation - Sophie
