API = Application Programming Interface.
An API is a series of functions that programmers can use for a certain
purpose.
For exemple to create a window under Windows or Linux, you can call an API
function.
wxWindows is one of the API used by Audacity.

For future translations to french, you can use this page :

with standart translations with a lot of computer related words.
