English term or phrase: check
Hallo.

In dem Dialog, den ich gerade übersetze, taucht folgender Satz auf:

: "Door closed: check."

Besagter Bösewicht prüft also gerade (bevor die zwei Helden eintreffen) ob er die Tür abgeschlossen hat. Mir fehlt nur für das "check" eine schönes, wenn möglich kurzes, Äquivalent. Ein einfaches "Ja" gefällt mir nicht so richtig. Freue mich schon auf die Vorschläge.

TIA

Explanation:
Kay, please remember if you dealing with a BE text, it MAY very well mean "make certain", as "check" tends to be an AE term meaning as already suggested "okay", "in order", "check*ED*" and so on.
I think that term originated from putting a "check mark" on a list of things to be done.

Explanation:
Warum dann nicht gleich "OK" verwenden (vorausgesetzt, Davids Einwand "check" vs. "checked" greift nicht)?
