I've seen them in Germany, but can't remember what they are called. "Kreuzblume" it's not. | ||

Term: | Just Healthy Teeth? | » answer |
Ich knüpfe hier an meine Frage #492823 an. Ich habe ein Buch übersetzt, das im Deutschen "Einfach gesunde Zähne" heißt. Mein Vorschlag, "Simply Healthy Teeth", wurde vom Autor verworfen, da er "simple" mit "einfältig, blöd" assoziiert. Ich habe ihm inzwischen eine Fülle anderer Vorschläge für den Buchtitel unterbreitet (siehe #492823), aber er möchte das Buch nach wie vor "Just Healthy Teeth" nennen. Er meint: "Hier würde ich mit dir dikutieren wollen - weil das "just" in dem Sinne wie Firma "Nike" es meint mir auch auf das zu passen scheint, was ich meine: einfach, genau, gerade, halt, schier, eben.." Er bezieht sich dabei auf die Werbeslogans von Nike, "Just sports" u.ä. Was meint ihr? | ||
Answer: | beschränkt auf | #494295 |
by Lisa4dict, today, 01:06 Spam? 99.11.160.... Nike is quite o.k. with limiting their products to "sports and nothing more". Is this what your author wants? The other Nike slogan "Just do it." is also limited to doing it - don't plan, don't think, don't worry - just do. The German then turns into "tue es einfach" and since that's a synonym for what your author is heading for you end up in trouble. It's the same thing as with Pizza Hut where the English "hut=Hütte" was changed to the German "Hut" (Engl. hat). A few brushstrokes and the hut in the English icon turned into a "German" sombrero. The picture works in both languages, but each party sees something different. If your author won't budge, maybe he can live with leaving out the "just". "Healthy Teeth" is a nice and simple title that can't be misread. If he wants to add something he can always add a subtitle. Healthy Teeth - pure and simple Healthy Teeth - just the thing you want (see we can smuggle in his favorite false friend :-) Healthy Teeth - just what the doctor ordered See if that might fly. | ||

Answer: | romy: some thoughts. | #494306 |
I don't think your client understands that in this context, the word "just'' doesn't call up the same associations for an English-speaker than the word einfach would for a German speaker. The equivalent of "Just Healthy Teeth" would be Nur Gesunde Zähne, with one probable association "We only speak about healthy teeth here. The rest of you we don't care about." I think your client is mistaken about Nike using "Just Sports." To my knowledge, Nike doesn't. Nike uses "Just Do It," in which the "just" can be translated as einfach in the sense of tu's doch einfach. There are stores and dealers which use "Just Sports" as a name or tagline, But also here, the meaning is nur and not einfach. As to your "simply": it's right on the money. It's a time-honored advertising word used in combination with many... » show full text | ||

Term: | Difficult sentence -- selenium | » answer |
by jack, yesterday, 23:31 Spam? 198.172.206.... Selenium besitz auch physikalische Eigenschaften, die bei Verschmutzung des Stoffes z.B. als thermische Reaktion oder in Umwandlung zur giftigen Säure enden. It seems to me something is missing in this very simple sentence, or maybe the punctuation is wrong. "Selenium also possesses physical properties conducive to conversion to toxic acids in the event of pollution of the material [?] as a thermal reaction or in conversion" ... here I go again with "conversion", but twice. I can't figure it out. The idea seems to be that if you pollute something with it, the stuff turns into acid, as a thermal reaction. Is that it? I'm stumped for the moment. Anybody want to help me out? Thanks. | ||
Answer: | ? | #494282 |
Some of the physical properties of Selenium cause impurities/foreign substances to react in a thermal reaction or to be transformed to a toxic acid. Still awful, but I think you get the drift. The "enden" doesn't quite translate into one synonym for both reactions. It's also not quite clear what the end result of the thermal reaction is and what reaction transforms the impurities in to toxic acids. You have the method for one and the result for the other. | ||

by Martin, yesterday, 23:45 Spam? 141.155.24...

Answer: | ??? | #494288 |
4; Martin: I like your first suggestion, but I'm not quite sure where you are going with the second Selenium also possesses physical properties which, <i.e. the properties> when contaminated by the material <the properties are contaminated by "the material", what material - with foreign matter, maybe?>, result in a thermal reaction or conversion to toxic acids. Maybe: Selenium also possesses physical properties which, with contamination of the material, result in a thermal reaction or conversion to toxic acids. Does that fly? I think we still have a slight disagreement of plurals and singular cases. (thermal reactions?) | ||
Chat: | Lisa | #494293 |
by Martin, today, 00:44 Spam? 141.155.24... I include the second suggestion because I think with more context it is a possible translation. It depends (is seems to me anyway) on what the material is that is causing the contamination. I assumed jack would be able to figure it out. | ||

Answer: | #494281 | |
Whom really is the only correct form (perhaps depending on your stance on the "appeal to authority" approach in grammar), but common usage is making it obsolete. http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/001437.html | ||

Term: | to stop the "Service Level" clock (ticket system) | » answer |
by maricom, yesterday, 21:37 Spam? 93.92.200.... Liebe Kollegen! Eine Riesenbitte: könnte mir jemand erklären, was im folgenden Kontext (es hat mit einem Ticket Szstem zu tun) der Ausdruck " stop the "Service Level" clock " - bedeutet? Ich führe dazu keine Version meiner Übersetzung, denn ich soll diesen Text in eine andere Sprache (nicht ins Deutsche) übersetzen, und ich möchte nur die Bedeutung verstehen - nicht die genaue Übersetzung bekommen. Bitte seid so nett!!! Kontext: PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE The problem which you reported #$$Case ID+$$#, #$$Summary$$# has been placed into a Pending status. The Reason is #$$Pending$$#. This pending status will stop the "Sevice Level" clock as progress cannot be made while the issue is in this state. | ||
Answer: | trouble ticket | #494258 |
by Lisa4dict, yesterday, 21:52 Spam? 99.11.160.... When the problem was reported a "trouble ticket" was created. The service orgainization then started a “service-level clock” to track the amount of time that the technicians take to resolve the issues. The shorter the time to resolve incoming tickets, the better the level of service is considered to be. (Comment: Management folly because it leads to "quick fixes" without proper research into underlying caused and long term solutions.) In your cases the problem was considered to be unsolvable at the current state and the service organization "stopped the clock" i.e. this trouble ticket will currently not be considered in the overall "service level" evaluation and any time between now and when a solution becomes possible will not be counted for this ticket. | ||
