Japanese term

送信可能

Japanese to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology)
Do I have to translate 送信可能 explictly in the following context?
メッセージサイズが送信可能な最大メッセージサイズを超えていた場合
In my draft translation, it seems there are too many "message".
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 sendable
4 +1 "maximum message size"

Proposed translations

sendable

Literally I would translate as "when the message size exceeds the largest sendable/transmittable message size" but more natural would be "when the message is too large to send," or possibly "when the message exceeds the largest sendable size."

"maximum message size"

Good work by Steven, but in techno-babble I think "maximum message size" is a more conventional way to say this.
It is assumed that the message would be sent, so the term 送信 becomes redundant in english. Of my two suggestions, "maximum message size" gets far more google hits. I believe "maximum message size" is the term used by Microsoft Exchange System Manager as well.

agree casey : Yeah, "when the message exceeds the maximum size."
