Yes.

In sane-backends.de.po that expression is untranslated at least when
it's used as option title.

I think that's just the "gamma factor" or "gamma value". That's a
scalar (one numeric value, e.g. 2.0) while the gamma table is an array.
But that's jsut guessed from the microtec2 source code.

There is a command in the SANE api called "get_select_fd". The select
filedesriptor is a fildescriptor that can be used by the frontend to
check if there is data available in the backend. That may be done by
using the unix function select().

It's a highly technical expression so I'd leave it either untranslated
or just translate "File descriptor" if there is a good translation.

Bye,
  Henning
