French term or phrase: salle de "réparation"
A ce stade les autorités américaines n'ont absolument fait mention d'aucun montant de sanction potentielle. Mais nous pouvons considérer qu'un certain nombre de faits graves reprochés à certains de nos concurrents (blanchiment d'argent d'argent de la drogue mexicaine, organisation de salles de "réparation" pour effacer systématiquement les données surs les donneurs d'ordre et les bénéficiaires des paiements...) ne se retrouvent pas chez nous.

agree  philgoddard: I don't think you need confirmation of it - it's the literal translation, and it works fine.

agree  Jennifer Levey: Yes. Except that the ironic emphasis is on "repair", not "room", so I'd put the quote marks only around "repair", just as only "réparation" is in quotes in the ST.

"data repair" room


Explanation:
the "data" bit is implied, making it explicit helps to quickly understand this euphemism.

it makes it clearer as there really are various pieces of software aimed at "repairing corrupted data"
