French term

sélectionnée de travail

French to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) software configuration
I am working on a training presentation for a piece of software and am struggling with the following expressions which seem to be used when describing the processes connected with software configuration:

Section called 'création d'une configuration':

'la configuration créée est automatiquement sélectionee de travail'
'Quand un utilisateur sélectionne de travail une configuration:
- la date...du ficher est mise a jour,...la configuration est marquée de travail'
'Quand un utilisateur charge une configuration, la configuration reste de travail'

Could help with an accurate rendering of 'sélectionnée de travail' please?

Thanks & best wishes

OK, thank you both so much for your input - at least I know it's not just me being stupid! I will check this further with the client.

@asker That's not good french... The only possibility I can see is it should be between quotes "de travail" meaning the working, or current configuration.
When a conf is created it is set a the "current" conf, if you make changes to this conf it then becomes the new "current" configuration.
"de travail" means the one used for your current work.
Not 100% sure, but almost...;

These sentences seem quite weird in French.
My feeling is that in all of them the words "de travail" refers to some kind of status of the considered configuration. You might want to render it with the words "in progress" but you certainly need to doublecheck that.

selected as working configuration

The created config. automatically becomes the working configuration. Same idea with the other instances: config. marked, loaded etc. as working config.

i.e., the active configuration.
