Flemish term or phrase: lege bakken
This appears in a list of software strings. As it appears to be related to Belgium, I'm assuming this is Flemish. It seems to be something to do with boxes, but Flemish is not one of my working languages.

Ah, I see! Not sure, but the French could be off if it's from Belgium.

Thabks to everyone for chipping in. PS: @writeaway: The dictionary I looked at translated "bac" as tray or container, so knowing it can also mean a crate is handy to know for future reference.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks a lot! I'm only supposed to be translating ES-EN, but sometimes i get snippets of Italian and French mixed in with it like this, and I can usually handle that, but Flemish/Dutch are beyond my grasp.

  -> Or crates of empty bottles (when you buy drinks by the crate).

agree  writeaway: a bac is a crate in French. nothing "off"(or particularly Belgian) about the French
