What's the English equivalent for this term from the friendly Mr Gates, please...? (In section 4 below)


Die Datenbank darf im Netz nur auf einem Computer vorhanden sein. Sie muss den anderen Computern zugänglich gemacht werden. Führen Sie deshalb die folgenden Schritte (4 und 5) aus:

4. Markieren Sie auf dem Computer für die Rufbearbeitung unter “Arbeitsplatz” das entsprechende Laufwerk, und geben Sie dieses unter “Eigenschaften/Freigabe” für Lese- und Schreibzugriff frei (siehe Windows-Dokumentation).

5. Auf dem Computer für die Datenpflege stellen Sie eine Verbindung her zu dem freigegebenen Verzeichnis unter “Netzwerkumgebung/Netzlaufwerk verbinden” (siehe Windows-Dokumentation).

Sounds good.
Non-ProZ.com Aug 8, 2004:
Note to Tectranslate: I'm pretty sure it was your option no (2) in the end. I made the sentence a bit clearer by translating it as:

On the computer to be used for call processing, select the corresponding drive in "My Computer", right-click and select "Properties" and then the "Sharing" tab, and allow the drive to be shared for read and write access (see Windows documentation).
tectranslate ITS GmbH Aug 6, 2004:
Sidenote: I see two possible interpretations of the author's intent.
1) S/he's telling us to use the Properties dialog OR the direct context menu entry for "Sharing" to get to where we can share the drive
2) We are to click Properties, THEN Sharing.

"Sharing" tab of the "Properties" dialog OR "Sharing" entry on the drive's context menu

You should really get a copy of M$s official term list, though.

In XP, the context menu/pop-up menu entry has been renamed (I hate it when they do that - with every new version you have to get used to an entirely different terminology for entirely identical functions.)
My German XP Home has \"Freigabe und Sicherheit...\" in that menu. Can\'t be ar*ed to search for the English equivalent right now, but the Sharing tab bit is right anyway.
Peer comment(s):

agree Elvira Stoianov : it's Properties (pop-up menu) and then Sharing tab (I am working on WinXP-English version)
