a sign == знак a signature == підпис to sign == підписувати that's why translation was incorrect sign off is even harder :-P (as there's no word-to-word translation of "(I) sign off (this)" to my language, but "(я) затверджую (це)" would be correct enough in this case).
The prepositions and postpositions in English play very big role, but it's not easy to "convert" them into Slavic prefixes. "Off" corresponds to "от-" or "вы-", but "отписать" and "выписать" (in Russian) already have totally different meanings. "Затверджую" ("Утверждаю") is more likely boss's resolution, isn't it? So, maybe "Одобряю" ("approve")? ;) Cheers, Sergey
