Turkish term or phrase: narh koymak
"Bu dönemlerde İstanbul kadılarına önemli görevler düşmekteydi. Kadılar şehrin günlük işlerini de düzenlemekteydiler. Bir çok malın satış fiyatını “narh” koyarak belirlemekteydiler."

I had translated this term as "by officially fixing the prices" before in a very similar sentence where it was not contained in quotation marks. Now that it is in quotation marks, I'd like to get some opinions on how to treat it.

Thanks to all

Bu terimi daha önce geçen benzer bir cümlede bu şekilde tırnak içerisinde verilmediği için "by officially fixing the prices" şeklinde çevirmiştim. Ancak bu sefer tırnak içerisinde verilmiş. ne tavsiye edersiniz?

Herkese şimdiden teşekkürler.

agree  TheTranslator86: Evet ama fixed i belirtmek lazım. Narh'dan maksat başkaları müdahele etmesin, halk sıkıntı çekmesin. "Set an officially fixed price" daha uygun olur gibi

pegging is holding "prices" or exchange rates = prices ı ayrıca belirtmiş

Asker: Teşekkürler Sinan Bey.

Asker: Yalnız bu terim ağırlıkla döviz kurlarına uygulanan sabitleme için kullanılıyor. Bizim aradığımız ürün fiyatlarına getirilen sabitleme. Henüz "pegging" teriminin kullanıldığı bağlama uygun herhangi bir referans bulamadım.

Asker: Tekrar teşekkürler.
