Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
English term or phrase: allow
Country: Canada
Type of document: website

Context:
The mapping tool allowing students to create and edit maps

considered translations:
1]staat studenten to om kaarten te creëren en te bewerken.
2]stelt studenten in staat om kaarten te creëren en te bewerken

Het Engelse synoniem in deze context lijkt me 'permit'.
Maar in staat stellen vind ik een mooiere vertaling, mag dat ?
To allow komt heel veel voor en kent mijns inziens vele verschillende nederlandse vertalingen. Niet altijd makkelijk.
