French term or phrase: et ainsi de suite (PATENTESE)
Anything better than "and so forth" in patentese?

"De préférence, sur la diagonale de la matrice e, les symboles émis sont concaténés de façon à ce que, pour le premier symbole de la trame, on place d'abord les symboles correspondant aux tirs successifs, puis on fait de même pour le deuxième symbole de la trame, et ainsi de suite jusqu'au dernier symbole de la trame."

Thanks. I agree there's nothing better. Sounds awfully unpatenty and informal to my ears though, worse than the FR (to me). Sigh.

Reference information:
Just a note to point out that you are more likely to find "and so on" used alone than "and so forth" used alone, the latter more often being used in the lengthier "and so on and so forth".
