reciclar

It's in the context of "reciclar tus conocimientos". I know exactly what it means in Spanish but just cannot think of the English equivalent! Can anyone help?

I know it sounds strange but it sounds weird in Spanish also. I think you need to keep the same level of language...my opinion of course.

Comment: "Thanks everyone. I'll like "refresh" too, but this specific text requires something less colloquial.

Hola,
Creo que la primera opción está de moda de momento. A mi me gusta lo de 'reenergise' pero depende del contexto.
¡Suerte!

: "Recycle" is a metaphor which in Spanish now means "update" or "refresh." English does not use the metaphor that way, i.e., it should not be translated as "recycle."
