The English user interface has two different menu selections:

Show all
View all

I think "Tout voir" is "View all". What should "Show all" be?

First, to be sure I understand: "show all" (or display all) and "view all" seem, to me, exactly the same act, but one from the point of view of the program (the program displays all), or from the user (the users sees all)

Display all would litterally be translated in "Tout afficher"

It goes back to my mention about the object "a watch" (in english: the user watch the time), while in french it is "une montre" (the object displays the time)

FYI, one of my companies is designing web site. They told me that when translating from english to french, all fields are, as an average, 30% bigger in terms of number of chars...
