Swedish term or phrase: instruerande
"titlarna inte är instruerande". I'm afraid I can't give the whole sentence, but the gist is that some sort of a cross-reference system should be used for documents (e.g. numbering) because the titles are not 'instruerande'.
Does this word mean 'not give enough information' or is there a better translation?
Thanks

agree  Cynthia Coan: "Instruera" (the verb) actually does mean "to teach" or "to instructive" so this meaning should work.
