GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:einstellbar
English translation:configurable
Entered by: David Williams

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers: Systems, Networks
German term or phrase: einstellbar
Context:

"Netzwerk-AET für Konfigurationsdatei einstellbar, der für alle Drucker gilt"

I'm puzzled by this, does it mean that the "Network AET for the configuration file that is used for all of the printers can be selected", or "Network AET can be configured for the configuration file that is used for all of the printers"?

Notes to answerer
Asker: I wasn't asking about "einstellbar" on its own, but in context. However, since several ProZ admins have complained about me asking questions about a term with the addition (here), I chose one term, as per ProZ rules, and then provided the context, which (according to the admins) should make it clear that I'm asking about this context. Some people just love to prove that stereotypes are true, Cilian.
