Tech/Engineering - Computers: Software
English term or phrase: Toggle
This word appears in a software userguide. It's related to audio transmission and seems to be related to MP3-files. Is it a word that has a Norwegian equivalent at all?

Explanation:
Veksle is as close as I can get. Some IT nerds use toggle as if it existed as a Norwegian word - as in 'å toggle mellom høy og lav'. In this case, veksle is a perfect alternative. The term is used to describe switching between two settings where neither is fully off.
