Question

In computer programming, What does "indentation" mean?

Answer 1

Someone has answered you concerning how to translate "indentation" into Spanish. Now just in case you were asking about what it is in English:

I would suspect that if you are referring to programming it is nesting of related commands by creating a hierarchy similar to what an outline that you used to make in English composition classes looks like.

      ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

      ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

It just a way of grouping commands together that form a subroutine, function, or share the same level of importance as the other command indented the same amount.

Answer 2

No estoy seguro si es la que buscas, pero

Sangrar significa empezar un renglón más adentro que los otros de la plana, como se hace con el primero de cada párrafo.

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but

Sangrar means to begin a line further in than the others on the page, like one makes with the first line of each paragraph.

The noun would be sangrado or indentation
