Norwegian term or phrase: registrere
The context is HSE and reporting incidents, which is done in an electronic incident management system. My client has translated "å registrere" as "to register", i.e. "Register a new incident". In my opinion a better term is "to record" or simply "to enter". Is it OK to use "register"?

Asker: The term "report" is used for "rapportere", so it will not work.

Asker: Thanks. I have also seen "to log" used. At any rate, my suspicion regarding "to register" seems to be confirmed.
