Thanks a lot you two
Blimey, so we would be talking about "associated mods" for "...zugeordneten Mods..." and "The corresponding mod will be associated with the current view" ? for "Der entsprechende Mod wird dann dem aktuellen View zugeordnet." ? Just to get that clear. Sort of changes the way I imagined/perceived the whole thing.

Done :-)

Configuring associations ... looks like the answer, see here:

Phil, this one is yours to put in as a formal answer, you came up with it first.

philgoddard Apr 24, 2014:

Associations may be the way to go - perhaps certain apps are associated with certain icons. But the context is still rather hazy.

thefastshow (asker) Apr 24, 2014:

The tutorial is about creating and editing mods and views for apps.

The main headline of the paragraph is : "My first View"

among others you got subitems like:

Mods zuordnen
..."Klicken Sie auf das Pfeilsymbol...Der entsprechende Mod wird dann dem aktuellen View zugeordnet."

Zuordnungen konfigurieren
"Klicken Sie auf das Rädchen-Symbol bei einem der zugeordneten Mods. Es öffnet sich ein Dialog mit Einstellungen zur ausgewählten Zuordnung."


Allocate in this context has been said to go too much into the "informatics/ computer science" direction the client said. So I thought about "assign" .
The client proposed "Configure combinations" and Configure Associations" but I thought this to be a little odd.

Really someone with contemporary knowledge in this field would be ideal here.

If it's a headline, please could you give us the text underneath.
There are several possible translations for Zuordnung, but I'm still not clear what the context is about. You've said it's a tutorial, but not what for.

I would say it's 'allocate' A 'mod' seems to be a kind of software that was modified (hence the name) from its original purpose. The word is mostly used in gaming, according to Wikipedia.
'Zuordnen' mostly means 'allocate' or something of that sort.

thefastshow (asker) Apr 24, 2014:

Hahaha Phil ...neither do I ... at least not in practice.
Here´s another example which may make it clearer.

"Der entsprechende Mod wird dann dem aktuellen View zugeordnet."

It´s from a step by step tutorial.

"Zuordnungen konfigurieren" is a headline

philgoddard Apr 24, 2014:

Could we have several sentences of context please? We don't know what is being "zugeordnet" to what.
