Hi Léane, « chargeur d'amorçage » is used consistently across many projects. It's even the title of the wikipedia page <https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chargeur_d'amor%C3%A7age>.
The English term is also mentionned, so it is correct, but not preferred. I would revert the change, but also mass edit « chargeur de démarrage » to « chargeur d'amorçage », and add it to the glossary.
