App	JMRI term (US)	Meaning	Deutsch	Italiano	Français	UK English	Dansk
All	Block	A section of track whose occupancy may be individually monitored ...	(Strecken)Block/ Blöcke	Blocco/Blocchi	Canton		Blok
All	Comments		Kommentar	Commento	Commentaire		Kommentar
All	Light	JMRI output bits that function as on/off switches. When 'Enabled', a Light will respond to changes of its control Sensor, Turnout or Fast Clock. Variable Lights display different intensities (with a special output decoder). Either a Light or a Turnout, but not both, can control a specific digital output bit (address). ...	Licht	Luce	Lumière		Lys
All	Log		Logbuch/ Logdatenerfassung				Log
All	Memory (Variable)	JMRI software object that can hold any type of contents, like a string of text or an image. Logix can test - and set - the contents of a Memory Variable. Panels can display them. ...	Speicher	Variabili in Memoria	Mémoire		Hukommelse/ Memory
All	Reporter	JMRI software object representing information reported back from the layout. It can contain arbitrary information, unlike a Sensor. Each Reporter is associated with some specific source of information on the layout. ...	Melder	Reporter	Rapport		Reporter

All	Script Entry	A series of instructions stored on disk and read into JMRI to interpret, written in the Python language. ...	Skripteingabe	Ingresso Script
All	Sensor	JMRI input from the layout, used to represent the state of a block occupancy detector, a pushbutton on the fascia etc. A Sensor can be either ACTIVE or INACTIVE (or UNKNOWN). ...	Detektor	Sensore	Capteur		Sensor
All	System Name	A unique name referring to one device/input etc. in JMRI, either physically present on the layout or virtually in software only ...	Systemname	Nome Sistema	Nom Système		System Navn
All	Turnout	1. A mechanical installation enabling railway trains to be guided from one track to another. 2. In JMRI: any On/Off output to the layout, controlled via DCC accessory decoders. The individual output pins on a C/MRI system are also called Turnouts. The two states of the output are called 'Closed' (off, inactive, not commanded state) and 'Thrown' (on, active, commanded state). To report feedback from the layout, Sensor inputs may be assigned to a Turnout. ...	Weiche	Scambio	Aiguillage	Point	Sporskifte
