Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

I suggest 'sìn-tēng' (信定). 'Sìn' (信) means 'to trust' or 'to believe', and 'tēng' (定) means 'to define' or 'to set'. Combined, it conveys the idea of 'defining and assigning' a variable, which is closer to the function of 'let' in many programming languages. It's also more specific than 'lēng'.

Issue breakdown

  • accuracy While 'lēng' (令) means 'to order' or 'to let', it doesn't strongly convey the concept of *introducing* a variable binding in programming. It's too general.
