German term

Schlagwort / Stichwort / Keyword

German to English Tech/Engineering Internet, e-Commerce
I'm doing a list of Internet terms, and I'm kind of stuck trying to find a separate word for each of the above. Bloody German! (no offence) ;o) Can anyone help? Thanks :o)

I think you have run up against the dreaded overspecification demon of German.

They are all keywords in the internet.

Look at the document properties of a PDF file.

If you are doing a glossary, you might just
want to incorporate ALL the German definitions under keyword

Slogan/cue, key word/keyword

That's about it. Stichwort can be cue oder key word, according to the context.

just remember: Schlagword: catch word. Antoher possibility. Or headword, but I do not like it.

catchword...

Schlagwort: catchword or slogan
Stichwort: headword, entry, cue, key word
Keyword: key word

It depends on the context which word in bloody English could be the right
