English term or phrase: another sentence
"User double clicks appropriate signature block to define its capabilities in electronically signing this document."

The Swedish translation became: "Användaren dubbelklickar på lämplig signeringsruta för att bekräfta behörigheten att signera detta dokument elektroniskt."

Is this really the correct translation of "define its capabilities"?

Explanation:
I'd say: no it doesn't seem that way. To me, the double-click represents the user marking something, after which you are enabled to set som kind of definitions.

"göra inställningar för signering(-sförfarande)" or similar seems to be more appropriate here..
