I've looked into it, but this seems to me like a gargantuan task
because there is so much internal inconsistency that I wouldn't even
know where to start. "Extent" for example: sometimes this is
translated as "Erweiterung" (nonsense, that's extension). Sometimes
it's left verbatim. This is what I'd be leaning towards as well. Other
times, it got translated as "Ausmaß", which in another context is in
fact a translation for "extent" (as in: the extent of a catastrophy),
but makes no sense here. Also "Bereich" and "Umfang" are used
sometimes, of which only the former makes a slight bit of sense. That
in addition to my general under-appreciation of low-level technical
translation. They are usually much less comprehensible and the
gibberish needs to be translated back anyway in order to any sense of,
apart from the fact that the original text is searchable, in stark
contrast to the translation.
