Hello:
The only term I've ever heard in english for this is "octave
displacement" and its notation is 8va ...... dotted line over the
affected passage.
I lieu of any other acceptable english terminology I'd go with Groves
as it widely accepted as a standard English language reference work
for music. I believe that Groves in right in deferring to the Italian
since that is the usually accepted language for musical terminology.
Octave transposition seems a confusing, since transposition in music
usually implies that the passage is to be played in a different key.
Octave displacement does not change the key.
Cheers
David
