Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / name of a software
English term or phrase: Welding Assistant
"Welding Assistant" is the name of a software that supports the elaboration of welding documentation (for certification purposes etc.). What would be a good name in French - "Assistant de Soudage" or "Assistant de Soudure" or something else?

French translation:Assistant de soudage
Explanation:
Soudage is the action of welding, so it is appropriate here.
Soudure is the welding itself= the place which has been welded, so it is inappropriate here

Explanation:
c'est ce que je mettrais, dans le titre par exemple, en ne conservant qu'Assistant dans la suite du texte. (dans les logiciels, on rencontre souvent "Appeler l'Assistant", etc.)

Soudure Doc


Explanation:
Juste un exemple. Je pense que c'est à toi de choisir un nom porteur, pas nécessairement une traduction litéralle du nom existant.

"Soudure Doc" évoque à la fois la documentation et l'expertise d'un docteur.

A la réflexion, rien ne t\'empêche (sauf consigne contraire du client) de garder le nom anglais.

C\'est juste un nom de logiel, et les noms de logiels ne sont habituellement pas traduits. (Vous connaissez les logiciels \"Mot\", \"Bureau\", \"Corel Dessin\", \"Atelier de photographie\"...?)
