livret en format calepin

Tony M Mar 1, 2019:

@ Asker Well, the first translation is clearly just plain "wrong"!
The only think I can think is call it soemthing like a 'tear-off book' or 'peel-off book' — why not try and look for other things that come in similar formats and see if you get any inspration? I buy envelopes in this sort of format, maybe there's something similar where you are?
Or maybe 'notepad format' — you know, like pulling sheets of a writing pad?

@Tony M Et voilà le problème... If livret were there all there was, then book would probably work since we do have things in English like "book of checks, etc." meaning a group of papers attached at one end and this is clearly meaning a group of tickets and the specs would clarify what is meant by "book" However, with the client unwilling to alter the previous translation of livret as book, the question is then how to translate calepin to both make it clear what it is and differentiate it from the vague "book". ...misère...

@ Asker I suspect, as you say, that the first 'livret' is in fact a kind of 'concertina' fold (so not normally a 'book') — various scratch cards do indeed come in this format here in France.
Then the second one would be indeed a 'book', with them all glued together down the spine for peeling off — this is more practical for the larger numbers
