I withdraw my suggested translation for the above term in favour of Caroline Devitt

excuse my oversight!

round something down to lower a number to the nearest convenient figure so that it can be expressed as a round number • round 15.47 down to 15.
round something up to raise a number to the nearest convenient figure so that it can be expressed as a round number • round 15.89 up to 16. 2
.
round something off - 1. to make its corners, angles, etc smooth. 2 to complete it successfully and pleasantly • round off the meal with a glass of brandy.

Another variant....
