Marketing - Internet, e-Commerce / website for automotive supplier
French term or phrase: idem
"Reprendre les pages niv 2 idem page carrefour :"

As mentioned in my previous question, I'm translating a document that consists mainly of the text from one page of an automotive supplier's website. At the end of the document (but not on the webpage itself), the above appears in italics. It is followed by an italicised list of categories (e.g. équipement atelier, après-vente, outillage).

On the actual webpage, each of these categories appears as a clickable link to another page on the same site. That page, in turn, displays several sublinks (e.g. levage, carrosserie, contrôle technique).

Would "as per" be a suitable translation for "idem" here? In other words, the second-level pages should be inserted as per the "page carrefour", or in the same way as the "page carrefour"?

Explanation:
I think your own answer is a good one, Asker. Alternatively, leave it as idem. It's a Latin term that's used in both languages.

neutral  Tony M: "same for" would not really be correct here — it would tend to imply that you must make the Carrefour age like this one, when in fact the reverse is intended; Mark has it right using 'same as' (or 'same as for...')
