sync
Short for synchronization; the technical process in which data is aligned between several devices or systems to bring them to the same, up-to-date state.
Der Sync meiner Kalenderdaten zwischen Handy und Laptop funktioniert nicht richtig.
The sync of my calendar data between my phone and laptop isn't working properly.
'Sync' is a shortened form borrowed from English of the German word 'die Synchronisation' (synchronization). It has become established as a common term in technical language.
Ich muss kurz einen Sync machen, damit meine Kontakte aktuell sind.
I need to do a quick sync so that my contacts are up to date.
The word 'Sync' is used mainly in colloquial language and informal contexts, especially when talking about computers, smartphones, or other digital devices.
Warte, der Sync läuft noch, die Dateien sind noch nicht auf dem Server.
Wait, the sync is still running; the files aren't on the server yet.
Common verbs are 'einen Sync machen' (to do a sync) or 'den Sync starten' (to start the sync). It is also often used in compound words such as 'Daten-Sync' (data sync), 'Cloud-Sync' (cloud sync), or 'Kalender-Sync' (calendar sync).
Der automatische Daten-Sync zwischen meinen Geräten spart mir viel Zeit.
The automatic data sync between my devices saves me a lot of time.
update
'die Aktualisierung' and 'der Sync' can both result in data or information being up to date. 'Aktualisierung' is more general: software, a list, or a piece of information is renewed or supplemented. 'Sync' is more technical and means that data is aligned between several devices or systems. The goal is for it to be the same and up to date everywhere. You can confuse the words because a sync often also causes an update. If something is simply being made new, 'Aktualisierung' fits. If several devices are brought to the same state, 'Sync' is more precise.
Der Sync zwischen Handy und Laptop startet automatisch.
The sync between the phone and the laptop starts automatically.
Nach der Aktualisierung zeigt die App wieder die richtigen Termine an.
After the update, the app shows the correct appointments again.
