Swedish term or phrase: Vi som jobbar på xxx är väldigt stolta...
In my experience, this term (vi ... på) rarely translates well, usually ending up as things like:
Those of us who work at xxx are very proud of...
or
At xxx we are very proud of...
But neither of these truly reflect the tone or familiarity of the source text. I would be so grateful for any suggestions or thoughts. Perhaps someone has found a great solution to this type of 'problem' already?
Thanks,
Laura

Yes, I like this one too. It might not necessarily work in all contexts, but it's a good one to have in the glossary and - more importantly - it fits welll with the text I'm working on. Thanks everyone! :)

Explanation:
You could write around this many ways I guess but it depends on the rest of the text. There will probably be plenty of other suggestions...

Asker: Thanks Roger, but these a slightly more formal than the tone I was after. But thanks for your help. It's always good to have a few different angles in the glossary! :)
