GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Konfigurator
English translation:specifier

German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Construction / Civil Engineering / hardware market portal
German term or phrase: Konfigurator
This appears from a list, possibly of people who might want to use a hardware industry ordering portal. Others on the list are: "Bauherren, Architekten, Planer".

Sorry about the lack of context; I am dealing with one of those files extracted from a PPT file by some outlandish software.

specifier
Explanation:
Really a wild guess, but
a.) Konfigurator sounds like other translations for specifier I've found in the KudoZ glossaries,
b.) it's sort of missing from the list and
c.) that's what immediately came to mind.

I think c.) is the least important argument, by a long shot.

That's a "long chalk", Klaus. Your whole answer is a long shot, but I'm desperate. The project is urgent, and my TM software just stopped working, and so I'm cutting a few corners. I'll accept this answer and use it straight away!
