German term or phrase: übernommen
"Mit diesem Program werden Kurs-Stammdaten aus dem Verfahren TC-Manager uebernommen".
How do I translate "uebernommen" in this context? I was thinking about "transferred" but I am not sure if that is correct.

pull


Explanation:
The new web terminology is pull or push, depending on who is doing the action.

The website puts the data up on the site, you have to "pull" it down to you. Or, the program "pushes" the data from the website to your registered computer.

Ahhhh, living language, you gotta luv it.

neutral  Hilary Davies Shelby: I'm not sure that this is being used in a web context here - seems more like master records being imported from another program
