preparation of orders/triggering of orders Explanation: "Bestellauslösung" would be triggering of orders through a click. I would not use nouns in the translation. I would say "to prepare orders" or "to trigger orders". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2005-08-15 08:33:42 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I do not quite see what sounds so awkward. \"... in France the catalogue is used to an above-average extent to prepare orders.\" \"The Internet also predominates to trigger orders\" or \"The Internet also predominates as a method of triggering orders.\" |

Bestellvorbereitung vs. Bestellauslösung as a preliminary to ordering/for initiation of an order Explanation: Is what comes to mind -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 43 mins (2005-08-15 08:29:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In reply to the asker\'s comment, I think the distinction between gathering information (or deciding whether you want to make an order) and placing an order shouldn\'t be completely overlooked. How about \"preparing an order\" and \"placing an order\" as a fairly simple way of maintaining the distinction? |
