handle
identifiant


Explanation:


Bonjour Sylvie,


"The Handle System is the Corporation for National Research Initiatives's proprietary registry assigning persistent identifiers, or handles, to information resources, and for resolving 'those handles into the information necessary to locate, access, and otherwise make use of the resources'. As with handles used elsewhere in computing, Handle System handles are opaque, and encode no information about the underlying resource, being bound only to metadata regarding the resource. Consequently, the handles are not rendered invalid by changes to the metadata."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handle_System


"In computer programming, a handle is an abstract reference to a resource. Handles are used when application software references blocks of memory or objects managed by another system, such as a database or an operating system. A resource handle can be an opaque identifier, in which case it is often an integer number (often an array index in an array or "table" that is used to manage that type of resource), or it can be a pointer that allows access to further information."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handle_(computing)


"Le « Handle System », ou Système Handle, est une spécification technique pour attribuer, gérer et résoudre des identifiants persistants attribués à des objets numériques et à d'autres ressources Internet. Les protocoles spécifiés permettent à un système informatique distribué de stocker des identifiants (appelés « handle », litt. anse) de ressources numériques et de les résoudre pour fournir l’information nécessaires à la localisation, à l'accès et à l’usage. Cette information peut être modifiée au besoin pour refléter l'état et / ou l'emplacement de la ressource identifiée sans changer le handle."

neutral  Daryo: it's not THAT kind of "handle" in this text! // in fact, for the type of "handle" mentioned in the ST (= "displayed user name") the whole point is to NOT identify users by their real names!

handle
nom d'affichage


Explanation:
Le nom d'utilisateur peut être ce qu'il est, mais ce qui importe c'est le nom d'affichage je pense du point de vue du marketing

Et handle n'est pas vraiment le nom d'utilisateur, mais plus le "nickname" dont on se sert pour s'afficher sur son compte.
