Norwegian term

ut fra dagsform

Norwegian to English Other Other Disability aids
From a catalogue of various devices for disabled persons, e.g. as an aid to communication, use of computers etc.:

"[Product] kan benyttes med ulikt betjeningsutstyr. Ettersom øyestyring er et eksternt tilbehør ivaretas en god fleksibilitet i hvordan utstyret benyttes. Forskjellige betjeningsmetoder kan også kombineres for hver enkelt bruker, slik at man til enhver tid kan benytte det som fungerer best, f.eks ut fra dagsform."

I'm actually translating this into Danish, but am hoping for more replies in this combination... Many thanks in advance!

"Dagsform" in Danish I found a lot of hits for this in Danish texts.
Pernille Chapman (asker) Mar 19, 2010:
Hmmm...well, I for one don't know how to interpret it :-)

Are you sure 'dagsform' wouldn't be understood in Danish as well?

The standard interpretation would be how the subject feels on the day, most often in terms of physical performance and stamina. It could also be applied to mental capacity and agility.
