I need to translate a lot of terms in a IT-application like button labels:
- Close
- Next
- Exit
- Search
- etc.
Can anyone translate these or is there any site with a list of common terms for French?

The most common button labels that come to my mind would be the following:
- Close = Fermer
- Exit = Quitter (Small difference between this and Close. I'd say you should use this one when leaving/closing some kind of workflow or the program itself, and Close when just closing a window/confirmation message)
- Cancel = Annuler
- Previous = Précédent
- Next = Suivant
- Search = Rechercher (This one can be used either to activate a search mode or to apply a entered text for the search, both are fine)
- Confirm = Confirmer
- Apply = Appliquer
- Accept/Agree = Accepter
- Decline = Refuser
- Enable = Activer
- Disable = Désactiver
Another label you might see quite often in French is "Valider", it has more or less the same usage than a "Confirm"/"Ok" button, just remember that it's not exactly meaning the same thing as "Validate" in English.

Two options.
Change your browser or operating system into French for a while and find out the corresponding terms that way. It's easy with Chrome or a Mac.
Have a browse through the FR-ER translation projects on the crowdsourcing site Crowdin, which constantly deals with these terms.
