Glossary entry (derived from question below)
German term or phrase:
gestifteten Stahlnadeln
English translation:
steel nails (for cable clips)
German term
gestifteten Stahlnadeln
This term is used in reference to an ISO clip, that has a "30 mm gestifteten Stahlnadeln". Unfortunately I don't have any more information than this so any help is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Helene

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

steel nails (for cable clips)
I would waive any translation of "gestiftet" as it is obvious that it refers to the shape of nails.

thought needles first but as this is a clip, I would go with "tips"

Thanks, Kim. Needles they certainly aren't. Pins might just about fit.

| agree |
Gudrun Maydorn (X)
: I fully agree. In this context "gestiftet" just means that the nails (Stifte) are already fitted to the plastic clips.

What happened to your original proposal - "steel needles" - also Confidence Level 5?

If the unit is abbreviated as two or more Characters, there must be a space between the number and the unit (e.g., "10 km", "USD 5").

There is a space between the numerical value and unit symbol, even when the value is used in an adjectival sense, except in the case of superscript units for plane angle.
proper: a 25 kg sphere
an angle of 2° 3' 4"
If the spelled-out name of a unit is used, the normal rules of English apply: "a roll of 35-millimeter film."

And has nothing to do with hardening, either.
Es gibt geschraubte und gestiftete Bänder, gibt auch vernietete und zusammengebogene. Da gibt es alles.

@ Hélène
Can you please tell us the corresponding ISO standard for your "ISO clip"? Can you please describe the shape and function of the "gestiftete Stahlnadel" or post a corresponding illustration?
(Ernst, Dictionary of Engineering and Technology)
Anmerkung: Ist anders als "point" nicht immer eine scharfe Spitze und entspricht nicht dem Sinn von "Anspitzen" z.B. eines Bleistiftes.
And is there one Nadel, or more than one?
