pelaras; tweak
Explanation:
- Two options - you can either 1. Translate or 2. Retain the English Term. Retaining the term in English [option 2] may not be a good idea as it is being used as a noun here. It may not be understood in context by a non-English-speaking person unless s/he knows tech-speak.

- In IT/Engineering/Tech, tweak [used as a verb] means to adjust finely or to fine-tune.

- In Malay, there are several possible meanings of fine-tune or adjust finely: menyelaraskan/menyesuaikan, and even membetulkan; with menalakan used in the context of tweaking engine/machine/radio and tv frequency.

- Suggest the sentence be translated as: Anda telah mendayakan pelaras/tweak Enable DB dumping with S2R.
