French term
période de tuilage
Je comprends l'expression, mais je ne vois pas comment le traduire au plus juste
J'envisageais "an overlapping informative period" mais cela ne me satisfait pas du tout.
Auriez-vous une suggestion à me faire ?
En vous remerciant par avance pour votre contribution.

This idea is not provided by the word "transition".
| Merci Michel. C'était également une idée que j'avais mais qui me paraissait bp d'ordre financier, peut-être à tort. |
