German term

auf symptome herabsetzen

German to English Medical Medical (general) answers to customer survey
medical survey asking seems to be asking what brand of products you use for cold/flu symptoms, not much context as just survey answers and no related questions

Ratiopharm ist einer der multiplayer am markt, das spektrum der angebote ist riesig die kann man nicht auf symptome herabsetzen
Proposed translations (English)
3 +2 reduce/ minimize + the rest

You could also say: "It's not just about symptoms".
BrigitteHilgner Dec 10, 2014:
They have a vast product range ... and their products don't just deal with symptoms [they have far more to offer].
Typical market research answer (I should know, I'm a former market researcher).
Rachel Taylor (asker) Dec 10, 2014:
don't really understand why "nicht" is in there, would make more sense without?
Jacek Konopka Dec 10, 2014:
@ Harald - Herzlichen Dank Harald für Deine Antwort/ Unterstützung. Ich war nicht sicher... Ok, ich versuche es, als Antwort zu geben, der Ausdruck ist aber wirklich ein bisschen zweideutig...
Harald Moelzer (medical-translator) Dec 10, 2014:
@Jacek ...very likely; this is my understanding, too. You should post it as an answer.
Jacek Konopka Dec 10, 2014:
Reduce/ minimize? Maybe this direction.... Der Satz ist grammatisch nicht korrekt. Der Kontext ist nicht eindeutuig- schwer zu "entziffern".

reduce/ minimize + the rest

So verstehen wir das- Harald war hier sehr hilfsreich.
Wie gesagt, ist aber der Kontext nicht eindeutig.

agree Harald Moelzer (medical-translator) : mit 'reduced' - oder 'limited/restricted to'

Thank You very much. "limited/ restricted to" sounds very good

Thank You very much
neutral Cilian O'Tuama : sth. with "reduce" might work (BTW we don't capitalise You in English)
