This ticket certainly shouldn't stay open forever. At this point we can conclude that a good translation is difficult to find. Which is why I proposed to just fix the "Sauver" for now. Although we didn't find a perfect translation even for "Sauver", I'm proposing to go with "Enregistrer". To be clear, I am proposing to translate "Save Replay" to "Enregistrer un film" until we get better ideas. This may not be a pure improvement over the current translation - I would prefer something clearer and shorter - but I believe Mehdi and I both consider that as an overall improvement.

I will consider this ticket as resolved if the translation is changed to "Enregistrer un film" and will consider opening a new ticket about "film" when this one is closed.

You're welcome to do that, but as I already opened a thread on traduc.org which helped little, I doubt opening a thread in a small community for which French is just one language among a myriad would help much.
If anyone wants to do that, please simply refer to the traduc.org thread, as the "Replay" issue is far from Neverball-specific.

Absolutely, the only reason I opened the ticket against Debian is that I failed open one upstream. Quoting myself:
