"à titre plus subsidiaire" as "in the further alternative", how do I translate this next one "à titre infiniment subsidiaire"
"à titre plus subsidiaire" as "in the further alternative", how do I translate this next one "à titre infiniment subsidiaire"

in the extreme alternative case
depending on context

of very minor importance
I do not agree that it means in the alternative. It means less important BUT in a legal document, it has a legal meaning also.

In any case, translating a titre de and subsidiaire without context is a fool\'s game for me..I can\'t do it

\"as a minor alternative\" may be the phrase you\'re looking for, but you should give a little more context, otherwise I\'m guessing.
\"Subsidiaire\" does mean \"alternative\" in this legal context.
