What is "top up" applications
Hi
It's from a website. would you tell me what "top up" means. Seems like similar to "addtional" but I can't see the difference.
Additional, or top up applications, cannot be permissioned directly to the PCs.
Thank you,
m

Since the expression occurs in a sentence that mentions PC's, I suspect it's a specialized jargon within the field of computers, based on the expressions 'top down' and 'bottom up'. These have to do with the direction of development: downward starting from the top vs. upward starting from the bottom, where 'top' refers to the most general view of a project and 'bottom' refers to the detailed view.

mitsuwao23Still I am unable to come up with a good translation of itMe neither, if that's any consolation to you. You may have to leave it out of your translation. Just say "additional" or some form of that word.

Hi,
Additional, or top up applications, cannot be permissioned directly to the PCs.
This use of 'be permisssioned' as a verb seems very odd to me.
Perhaps it means Additional or top up applications are not permitted directly on the PCs.

Thank you for the reply, Clive.
It's from the website of an anyone-knows company, but their English is sometimes funny and there's many typos, too. Maybe people in India are working on it.
