     s/automate/automaton/ would be... more faithful to the original? :)

 Mebbe, but even then, I'd go for "finite state machine" as the more common 
 English idiom. This is tech writing, not high litterature that has to be 
 translated painstakingly for beauty and fidelity. :-)

 Without having read the manual page in question in detail I think the
 original is probably almost OK, except that it should be "automata".
 That is a rather common term used in computer science.

 I think automata is a plural, but I don't really care which wording you
 settle on. I just report them as/when I sees them. :-)
