opravi delo za vas


Explanation:
Možna je tudi ta varianta poleg že predlaganih. Upoštevati je treba, da je pri reklamnih sloganih pomembneje učinkovito sporočiti smisel kot pa prevajati dobesedno.

agree  Saša Horvat Šimonka: Ja, se s strinjam s tem, da je pri prevodu treba upoštevati, da je treba upoštevati dejstvo, da je besedilo marketinško, kar pomeni, da mora biti kratko in predvsem "iti v uho".

Explanation:
Ker gre za marketinško besedilo, je pomembno poudariti prednosti oz. pridobitve. Program opravi neko delo in se uporabniku ni treba ubadati z zamudnimi podrobnostmi in ponavljajočimi se opravili - programi za načrtovanj in konstruiranje (elektronika, gradbeništvo) so tipičen primer tega.

uspešno opravi vašo nalogo


Explanation:
The gist of the message is that something gets YOUR job done, i.e., it works while you "sleep." Thus it should be VAŠE. Other variants are: "opravi vaše/tvoje delo," "uspešno opravi vaše/tvoje delo." However, the Slovenian translation should incllude the qualifier "uspešno."

--------------------------------------------------

There is no "odlično/brezhibno" in source language. In that case it would be "does an excellent job."

Example sentence(s):
  • Krimovke uspešno opravile nalogo

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Uroš Jeram: Using VAŠE would, as I see it, imply the software is automated to carry out the job for you, which I don't think is the case. You still do the job yourself, the SW is there to help you out - as "the right tool to help the developer accomplish his/her task
20 mins
  -> I must disagree. The implied phrase is "Something gets your job done," and not "Something helps you get your job done."
