Henry Hinds Aug 15, 2012:
Canned As I mention in another comment, I have all this stuff canned because it is found time and again, but with certain variations (beware). If you do this kind of work often, then I recommend you do some canning yourself or I even don't mind sharing mine.

Se consignarán las limitaciones

According to Harper Collins "Spanish Collegiate Dictionary", consignar can mean "assign" or "record" among other things. These may both be possibilities, although I would favor "assigned" under the context. You may even be able to get away with "specified", but the meaning's a little different.

Sorry, I meant to post "The limitations will be assigned"
Peer comment(s):

neutral Henry Hinds : The meaning IS "specified" in Mexican Spanish (that's the origin), but not "assigned".

neutral AllegroTrans : dictionaries don't give firm translations suitable for specific context, only guidance (this site would not exist otherwise)
