Why?  "Repetition" is a perfectly valid word, and is pertinent in this
context.

The mode is exclusively called "transient repeating mode" in the chapter except for that last instance. Why? It looks more like an oversight than a voluntary choice to vary the wording.

Unless there is a valid reason to vary the wording, I'll stick to one wording in the French translation.
