German term

Die Einheit kostet 25 Cent.

German to English Bus/Financial Telecom(munications)
Es handelt sich hier um eine Telefoneinheit.

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob "unit" in diesem Fall hier angebracht wäre - oder "rate per unit"?

Ich nehme gerne Vorschläge entgegen.

Danke,

A.

Ian M-H (X) Jun 1, 2006:
My decision to change this question to "non-pro" was wrong. Questions asked by professional translators are apparently "pro" questions by definition: see Henry's article at http://www.proz.com/translation-articles/articles/95/1
So I'll change it back.

Ah, Francis, you're right - of course :-) Ich fordere immer "mehr Kontext" von meinen Kunden/Kollegen - also sollte ich natürlich auch "mehr Kontext" liefern! Readership: Urlauber einer Ferienwohnung in Italien. Context: Es handelt sich hier um den Abschnitt "Telefon" in einer Broschüre für die Gäste - d.h. wie wird das Telefon benutzt (interne Hausanlage) und wie werden die Kosten bei der Abreise der Gäste abgerechnet.

Wir nehmen auch nähere Infos entgegen ;-) Context? Readership?
