Bulgarian term

Сигурни ли сте, че искате да завещаете този Виртуален образ?

Bulgarian to English Other Media / Multimedia website
Dear Bulgarian colleagues,
I am translating a Bulgarian website into Spanish (from English) and the English version is not online yet. It is an Excel file, so there is no context and as I cannot read Bulgarian, I have no idea what is actually meant. The sentence above appears in the English file as "Are you sure you want to bequeath this Virtual Vision?" The word "bequeath" appears some 20 times throughout the text and is undoubtedly wrong and I was wondering if it may have been used in the sense of "share/sharing" (files).
I would very much appreciate it if you could help me out with this.

cede/disclaim I can't be really sure, but couldn't it mean that you are ceding your author's rights?

Thanks I placed this sentence (and all the others) into Google Translate (which I do not trust) to obtain a translation in Spanish, English, French and Italian and they all pointed to BEQUEATH. But it really makes no sense at all. I think somebody used the wrong word in Bulgarian, because the site invites people to share videos and files, follow others, talk... That is why I thought of "sharing" as a word close to bequeath in the broader -though seldom used- sense of "pass on to"
Ivan Klyunchev Nov 22, 2012:
bequeath vs. завещавам The word "завещавам" is really meaning "bequeath" in English. Share is not a synonym of bequeath, IMHO. Without (sufficient) context, everything is theoretically possible.

I believe that the translation is correct and the meaning of "bequeath" here is "to leave, pass on" (to people or to the next generation).
