English term or phrase: and what not
Es geht um die Untertitelung einer Reportage über BMX-Fahrer. Bei den Interviews wird häufiger "and what not" benutzt. An sich ja eigentlich nicht schwer, jedoch passt das nie wirklich in den Kontext. Hab hier drei Beispiele. Es sind wie gesagt, immer nur einzelne Sätze.

Danke schonmal im Voraus!

Our first day of shooting ***and what not***, our first location.

We got Mr. X on this trip, shooting our photos ***and what not***.

So we had him as our personal tour guide and he showed us around, just taking us to all
these cool spots ***and what not***, and just given us a heads up on a bunch of stuff, which is awesome.

agree  Colin Smith: or just "und so weiter". (It's very bad English to write it so often in a single text).
2 mins
  -> Thank you, Colin.
agree  Manuela Junghans: mit Colin, usw. denke ich würde reichen/ja, oder viell. irgendwo ganz weglassen, ist ja nun meines Erachtens nach wirklich nicht nötig, das dauernd zu verwenden.

  -> Danke, Manuela. Vielleicht 3 verschiedene Optionen verwenden, nicht nur eine wie im englischen Text.
