Ses réflexes et ses repères

français vers anglais Affaires / Finance Gouvernement / politique
Hi everyone,

This is from a contact talking about a voting process still not having all its "réflexes et ses repères". My guess is that this means it's not sufficiently developed to respond to the needs of all those involved.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Cheers,
Nick

Daryo Oct 22, 2020:
there is already enough context 1- "Government / Politics"
2- "réflexes et ses repères" qualifying a "voting process" in "Government / Politics"

"ses réflexes et ses repères" gives a grand total of about 30 ghits, of which 3 have to do with elections.

Yes, a full sentence from the ST would cut down the guessing / help to pinpoint the exact nuance of meaning intended in this specific ST, but there is already enough for a good educate guess, based on assumptions that the writer of this ST used the term as anyone else would, didn't indulge in some figures of speech or used the term wrongly or with some poetic licence or ...

If Asker is not bothered by getting only approximate answers ... or expect to get help by giving only own guesses as "context" ...

Nicholas Please post surrounding text, it's hard to get a handle on something we can't see

Bedded in Or found its feet - but I'm waiting to see the context too.
Marco Solinas Oct 20, 2020:
To Asker Seeing the entire French sentence would help. The phrase is often used to mean "one's bearings", as in "to set or establish or find one's bearings".

The new ways of working have not yet been embedded? Something like that?
polyglot45 Oct 20, 2020:
it hasn't been properly run in yet.
réflexes - suggests that people haven't yet got intuitively into the habit of using it and répères (critiques) suggests that the system is so new that the normal yardsticks by which we would measure it are not yet in place. Simples
Suzie Withers Oct 20, 2020:
This bilingual abstract translates "réflexes et répères critiques" as "critical thinking" but there are other examples of "réflexes et répères" being used where the sense seems to be "ways of working" or "tools and techniques" - it seems to be used in a number of different ways.

context? Could you give us a paragraph or three in which this expression occurs? You could disguise any proper nouns, names, etc.

fully-automated and fully-standardized

Hello

As the asker has not come back with more context, and bearing in mind it's some sort of voting system, perhaps one of those systems where you vote on line and if enough people vote, the topic is debated in parliament/senate.
"Reflexes" is about reacting to something and so in a system, could be the extent of automation.
"Répères" is even harder to fathom out exactly but it's about finding your way around the system, and this is better achieved when standardization is used. For instance, the cross in the top right-hand corner closes the d
ialogue box, all data entered has to be confirmed by hitting the confirm button.
I've given this suggestion a low in any case.

Not so much automated voting as an automated voting system.

its responses and its points of reference

Without any surrounding information, reflexes are responses, though they may be part of a reflective process of consideration.
The points of reference may be landmarks or benchmarks.

Reflexes could also be repercussions or reactions:

"The resulting situation has brought a liquidity crisis in the banks, which has caused institutional and social repercussions."

"Il est chargé de diffuser des messages de prévention et de sensibilitation auprès des populations afin qu'elles soient informées des bons réflexes pour se protéger."

"He has a duty to broadcast messages about prevention and sensibility with respect to the population to continue raising awareness about actions (responses) towards protection and prevention."

"Il doit traditionnellement jouer un rôle de modérateur et de réfréner ses réflexes nationaux afin d'aboutir à un compromis entre les états membres."
"Traditionally he must fulfill the role as moderator and refrain national reactions in order to seek or reach a compromise between member states."

l’électorat ... et ses réflexes et ses repères

"Ne nous y trompons pas : Marine Le Pen, hélas, incarne désormais l'alternative sur l’échiquier politique. Une alternative illusoire et délétère, bien sûr, mais une alternative identifiée. Quand la gauche reprend les mots de la droite, quand la difference entre deux quinquennats se dilue à grandes rasades d’austérité budgétaire, de déchéance de nationalité ou de TVA sociales, l’électorat finit par perdre ses réflexes et ses repères."

A peine né, ce pouvoir commence à se rendre indépendant de la société pour devenir lesystème d'un groupe d'intérêt, reflétant ainsi les rapports de force qui domine la vie économique et publique de la société. Il fera prévaloir ensuite directement sa domination sur la société à travers le contrôle de fonctionnement des différentes institutions. Il suffit de voir quelle catégorie de la société tire le plus profit de la situation socio-économique et politique pour déterminer la nature de ce groupe et l'identifier. Ce groupe d'intérêt, engendré par le mouvement de la société, est le produit des mécanismes mis en place liés aux lois économiques en vigueur et à l'orientation de la politique adoptée. Si c'est une orientation pour le progrès et le développement ce sera les forces actives et productives et les élites scientifiques qui seront encouragées, mais si c'est le contraire, les richesses du pays (essentiellement naturelles) constitueront une rente distribuée aux éléments du système et ses soutiens. La domination du système met en place toutes les conditions nécessaires qui lui offrent la possibilité de formater la société et ainsi privilégier les intérêts du groupe. La société devient à son tour le produit du système agissant avec ses réflexes et ses repères.

Rien ne remplace la pratique et l'apprentissage par l'exemple. Exercez vous "au quotidien" à conduire votre scooter. S'il en va du deux roues comme du vélo, à savoir si l'on n'oublie jamais les bases, on perd rapidement ses réflexes et ses repères.

agree AllegroTrans : These are indeed references but unless asker is willing to post some more context/text, I definitely think we are in the dark. The phrase could be about any number of aspects of the voting system.
