Pensez vous que je devrais traduire "Header/Meta", ou le laisser tel quel?
Merci d'avance

je suis d'accord que "header" et "meta" sont quasiment des tags pourtant chaque technicien/informaticien français va comprendre très bien "entête"

source text is ambiguous
Without examining the complete file format it is not possible to determine, from the source text alone, exactly what is needed at the start of the file.
'a header/meta data block at the beginning of the file'
could mean:
a header *or* a meta-data block (most usual meaning of an oblique stroke); or
a header *and* a meta-data block; or
a *combined* header/meta-data block (common alternative use of an oblique stroke)
As other answerers have already said:
header --> en-tête (or bloc de données d'en-tête)
meta-data block --> bloc de métadonnées
but how you compose the target sentence will depend on your interpretation of the rest of the source text.
In a general descriptive text, such as the source text here, I would *always* translate such terms as a service to French-speaking readers who may be relying on this explanation to understand the English jargon they are obliged to use when they come to read or write program code.
