Dutch term or phrase: declineerbaar
Een sterk concept dat declineerbaar is.

I'm wondering if this means scaleable...
It might be a Flemmish term.
Thanks in advance!

declinable


Explanation:
If they use "declineerbaar" in such a context, I would translate it as cryptic as in the Dutch original - thus declinable
