further explanation Explanation: Beth: I thought of your term some more and now I'm pretty sure that import would not be correct because import usually is the process where a software fetches some part of another software to integrate it in its own system. mickey |

read in OR broken in (less likely) Explanation: Microsoft glossary has spielen used for devices in operation, and CD's playing. Software is read in, even before installing. Importing is more complicated, and requires adjustment to the new environment. the OTHER possibility with this is that the term is not being used as a software word, but in the sense of getting the workers adjusted to the software and getting it customized for them. I have frequently translated this as read in, and it fits the contexts. At the beginning I assured myself that this is correct, but don't have a firm reference for you now. |

fixed to run properly Explanation: This is one of the meanings in Muret Sanders Encyclopaedic Dict. In the context of a new system it means "get into stride, get going properly" Examples in the dict. "das neue System musss sich erst noch einspielen = it will take some time until the new system is running properly" and "die Handelsbeziehungen haben sich gut eingespielt = trade relations are now firmly established" Langenscheidt Encyclopaedic Muret-Sanders |
