Italian to English translations [PRO]
Science - Computers (general) | | Italian term or phrase: impostare/reimpostare | I am doing a back translation of instructions to patients who are taking part in a clinical research study. Italian into US English.
The patients are being asked to enter answers to a questionnaire into a computerized device, and they need an access code to access their record and begin entering the information.
My question is whether it is correct to use impostare/reimpostare in this context to mean "set" or "reset" the subject's access code.
The phrase on the screen says: "Imposta Codice di Accesso". Is this the correct way to say 'set' the access code? I only find definitions relating to taxes and 'imposition' when I look up impostare, even in the ProZ glossaries.
Grazie. |
