Comment: << review queue entry 63648 - submitted by 'richwarm' >>
Yves' original sub for this entry was
/to start (a machine)/fig. to set in movement/to launch (an operation)/to activate (a plan)/
https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?queue_id=14493&handler=ViewQueueEntry

1) I think the "fig." was a good idea, so I have reintroduced it. (Karan deleted it when he processed the sub.)
2) I think the idiomatic expression is "set in motion" (GV = 24,800k), not "set in movement" (GV = 345k).
Diff:
- 啟動 启动 [qi3 dong4] /to start (a machine)/to set in movement/to launch (an operation)/to activate (a plan)/
+ 啟動 启动 [qi3 dong4] /to start (a machine)/(fig.) to set in motion/to launch (an operation)/to activate (a plan)/
