Runtime-Anwendung Explanation: "Applikation" is usually not used by techies in Germany, because its too close to "applying of something". So they maker a mix of ERnglish and German, that is Runtime- and Anwendung. Computer and programming experience |

Anwendung / Programm Explanation: Instead of worrying about hyphenation you could also opt for simplification. None of various combinations of - Runtime - Application - Laufzeit - Anwendung result in significant amount of German site hits. If it is important to you or your customer that this is only a runtime - implying that no source code was provided - you could emphasise that by adding "ausführbar": - ausführbare Anwendung - ausführbares Programm Just my 2 cents |

Runtime-Anwendung Explanation: Auch mit der neuen Rechtschreibung gelten noch immer im Großen und Ganzen die Bindestrichregeln. Egal, welche Version Du auch wählst (Applikation, Anwendung), Du brauchst den Bindestrich. Ausnahme: "Runtime Application" - wenn Du den Begriff vollständig ins Deutsche übernimmst, dann verwende in diesem Fall keinen Bindestrich (das ist dann in Übereinstimmung mit den neuen Regeln). |
