Bah, now this thread has turned into a semantics discussion...oh well.
If you do a cross translation of the russian term for "external" with english, and then back to russian, and use various dictionaries for different domains (legal dictionaries, medical dictionaries, etc), the russian term for "external" is aligned with the english term for "explicit".

Thus making it Explicit vs Implicit.
