For users that have submitted information on a form, there would be a message that notifies them that the information that they submitted is being send.

I was told by an interpreter that it could be sende but I thought that was the German equivalent of "send".

Since I recognized sende I did my own search and found a word in google translate of Einreichen but then on https://www.dict.cc/?s=submitting I found

• vorschlagend


• fügend


• sich unterwerfend

What is the difference of those? and for the context of a form submitting data online, which would be the best fit?

For Forms you usualls use words like: Senden or Absenden which are the literal translation of send. The word submitting is commonly used to describe a person hence you got adjectives like unterwerfend (subduing) and fügend. Both those words wouldn't make sense in a form.

In everyday German einreichen is used for very formal processes.

• to file a lawsuit


• to submit a nomination letter to the Nobel price Committee


• to file a complaint at the Federal Gouvernement


• to submit your annual tax declaration

Therefore senden is used just as a Verb to transmit something

• sending a letter


• sending a gift basket


• sending greetings / best wishes

The word übermitteln covers sending and receiving. So ... wurde übermittelt implies, that the receiver already got it. So it is expected, that it is processed very soon (almost now) and it is guaranteed, that nothing goes wrong anymore.

In 95% of all German web-forms the submit-button is labeled "Senden" or "Absenden". And the the confirmation says "... wurde gesendet".

Nevertheless it is better in any language, that the submit button is labeled with the triggered action. e.g. "Request Call-back", "Order", or "Subscribe Newsletter". This would have a specific German translation as well.

If the form has been sent, you need submitted (past participle), not submitting (gerund/present participle). And the German equivalent of that past participle of einreichen is indeed eingereicht.

A better verb in this case is übermitteln, past participle übermittelt.

German has no gerund, so you cannot express the process of submitting in one German word. The translations you found treat submitting as a present participle (it's the same form in English) but present participles are modifiers as adverbs or adjectives, not standalone actions.

You had to write wird gerade übermittelt. In case you wonder why there's the past participle in here again: that's because werden+past participle is how German builds the passive voice. Gerade makes it at this moment.

You could use the three dots to indicate the current data flow.

• [Ihre] Daten werden übertragen / übermittelt / gesendet / verarbeitet ...




• Datenübertragung / Datenübermittlung ...




• Daten übertragen / übermitteln / senden ...




• If space is limited: Übertragen / Übermitteln / Senden ...
