suggestions Explanation: First, if you need to have the exact wording of the English equivalent, it might be worthwhile to ask the client or do some serious googling to try to find it. Translations of titles of standards are sometimes unpredictable. Second, the following might be a worthwhile investment if you encounter this sort of thing regularly (just found it via google; no personal experience with it): 12984-2 Dictionary of Technical Concepts as Defined in DIN Standards by Henry G. Freeman, English/German, 1st edition, 1993, 1320 pages, A5, hardbound, $116.00 This dictionary, which comprises 6,500 definitions recorded in DIN Standards together with their English equivalents, has established itself both inside and outside Germany as the comprehensive source of information on accepted technical usage in the two languages. http://www.normas.com/DIN/pages/Dictionaries.html |
