Actually, that is relevant to the translation. In an example like this:

It is again infinitive, so this means "to update automatically". Here,
it could conceivably be both, but when it comes to strings like
"adjust", "apply" and "align", it would be an imperative.

Apart from this discussion of style, it is a good translation.

Morten
