English term or phrase: tags
Bonjour à tous,

comment traduiriez-vous la phrase "Always acknowledge mentions or tags received" dans le contexte suivant:

Social media offer the perfect opportunity to better interact with other offices, organisations, and partners. Always acknowledge mentions or tags received. It’s good to monitor also the name of your organisation and any hashtags you have used. Some people may mention you but not tag you.

merci à tous et bonne journée

Explanation:
If you want to check out the 'official' Facebook translation of a term, you can always switch your Facebook over temporarily to the relevant language!

Where the EN version use 'tag' etc, the current FR version talks about 'identifier' / 'identification' etc.

Well yes, you are unlikely to get the answer you need if you fail to post the right question!

I'd say something like "répondre aux identifications reçues", for example; 'remercier' might be another option, but I suspect a bit too strong. 'Répondre' could mean as little as simply 'clicking like'.

A more formal term would be 'accuser réception de...', but that seems out of place to me here.

Notes to answerer
Asker: thank you Tony. I had done this step but I was wondering about the whole sentence rather "acknowledge tags received". Maybe i should rephrase my question...

balises


Explanation:
fait allusion à Twitter ici

"Comment l’appeler ?
Personnellement j’ai une préférence pour le terme « balise » puisque ce signe permet de se repérer dans Twitter, de baliser un parcours… j’aime bien aussi le « mot-clic » des québecquois assez juste puisqu’effectivement on clique dessus. Je n’aime pas le terme « mot-dièse » choisi comme traduction officielle en France qui est totalement faux puisque le # n’est absolument pas un dièse mais un croisillon."

neutral  Tony M: Not on Facebook (as asked), F-X! Your text is referring to 'hashtags' (cf. use of « mot-dièse »), which are a different kind of tag altogether. Maybe Asker will need to use TWO separate terms? Yes, but '#tag' is then cited as sth else.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Tony M: But this is not the same thing, and this is not what facebook calls them! Here, these are not 'identifiers' (= 'that which identifies') but 'actions of identification', if you like.
