Agreed.
"Enregistrer" sounds better for me.

Agreed.

Oh, that's why your English is far better than mine :)
I confirm. I don't remember hearing this word in that sense.

True :)
Regarding "relecture", it makes me think of the act of reading a text again :-/

Shino (the other early FR translator) and I had the same opinion.

Good idea!

BTW, are you an official translator of Neverball or will I have to do
the translation by myself? :)
