peer agreement (net): -1
peer agreement (net): -1reappoint Explanation: 'Renommer' literally means 'to reappoint'. However, since the word appears in isolation, I think it is more likely to be an instruction, and therefore it would be better to use 'reappoint'. I have lots of experience in translations which feature individual words without any context! |

rename/reappoint Explanation: You can use rename if you are talking about a document, an object, information, etc. You would use reappoint in the context of human resources or personnel. Hope this fits into your context. Sylvie |
