Fun Bridge updated it's system for user's conventions. I chose "American standard 2/1 system" and made a few modifications. One of the choices, under "Conventions for 2-player bids" (which includes things like Drury, FSF, etc.), is "Rectification with a fit". (It's yes/no checkbox.)

The description says; "Play rectifications with a fit over major suit Jacoby transfers after a 2NT opening bid or a 2NT rebid".

I have no idea what that means. Can anyone explain?

Shoot - just realized that you can't fix typos in the title once it's posted.

I cannot help answer your question about the explanation — I suspect it might be a translation issue, as Argine is originally French. However, I was able to fix the typo in the topic title. Please accept this small contribution, and I hope someone more familiar with translation nuances can provide a clearer answer to your actual question

For reference, you can actually do this yourself, on a desktop but not mobile. Just click Use Full Editor after pressing edit.

I believe the term is a somewhat French translation, given Funbridge is French, and means accepting the transfer shows a fit (giving up on transferring with nothing, since you have to bid 3nt without), which is standard in France.

Thanks on both counts.

I note that the system option is specifically for 2NT openings and rebids, so presumably after a 1NT opening they proceed as we would normally do. I've learned a few things about the French system from playing practice hands on Fun Bridge, some of which I like. It would be interesting to see and English translation of the full "French expert standard" system that Argine is based on. Pretty sure I looked for that at one point but wasn't able to find it.
