In your original question, you posted "registrAR", in which case "fichier central" cannot be correct, "registrar" being the person who is responsible for the "registry".


Could you clarify?

\"Officier (chargé) du fichier central\"

Et puis on manque un peu de contexte, car il nous manuqe une explication qui lierait le terme affiché en tête au texte dans le corps du message.

I looked at the link provided above which is well-chosen as it gives a mine of information. The \"fichier central\" is in fact managed by a department known as the \"service central de documentation criminelle\" or the \"S.C.D.C.\".

I have changed the glossary entry to read SCDC as this dept is in charge of the \"fichier central\" - and question was about the \"registrar\" (the person/people) not the \"register/-try\"!!!
