Reference: Context Reference information: I assume your "P." is confidential, but at least you could tell us what it represents - P wurde umgeschult - what was retrained? Reference: Context Reference information: Context: the parts of a discourse that surround a word or passage and can throw light on its meaning. "Ample context from the asker is both a valuable tool and a simple courtesy much appreciated by your would-be helpers. What’s more, providing ample context will motivate more translators – especially those with an analytical bent -- to engage themselves in providing answers. Both to help your helpers invest their time efficiently in your behalf -- as you are requesting -- and to give you the best answers possible, it makes good sense to include adequate context in your queries -- as a minimum: (1) a definition of the general context (subject matter), plus (2) ample specific context: the entire source sentence (or more, say the whole paragraph -- excepting of course confidential/proprietary information, which can be disguised or omitted.) Other useful information may include for instance the target audience/country and the purpose of the translation. The purpose of this message is not to be critical but to be helpful – not merely in the context of the present question but also of improving the quality of KudoZ questions and answers in general." All the best, Tom. One of our former members, Tom Funke, once prepared this note and gave me permission to quote it. |
