French term

à l'identique

French to English Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping Vehicle hire
This is an Excel file called "Transfer test file"; I gather that it concerns the transfer of the hire of a vehicle from one client to another. I know that the term has already been asked in KudoZ, but I am not confident enough to use any of the suggestions (e.g. "in the same fashion"), as this is not one of my usual fields.

under the same terms and conditions

If it is the same vehicle with its hiring transfered to another person, this makes more sense to me than "like-for-like", which would make sense if it were the same person getting a different vehicle.

idem

"International" Latin for "the same thing" and not greedy on space for an *.XLS file.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Jennifer Levey : You cannot possibly use 'idem' in the very first occurrence in the file.

neutral philgoddard : No one will know what this means. English uses ditto, not idem.

You're right about "ditto". (Have you seen the film Ghost?)
