agree  Andrea Black: I get a "both" out of that: ... are identified by both the accounting firm and the xxx AG.// I see what you mean, I ignored the "gemeinsam."
1 hr
neutral  Richard Benham: I would say "in each case". Certainly not "both", given the "geminsam".
3 hrs
agree  BrigitteHilgner: My spontaneous idea was "in each and every case", so that fits your suggestion.
4 hrs
neutral  Kieran McCann: it's not a question of skipping the term but whether we use a corresponding term in idiomatic English: many of the most frequently used terms in German need to be omitted in English if the syntax is not to be overloaded

agree  Lingua Danica
3 hrs
neutral  Kieran McCann: agree, if the intention is to stress specifically that each item must be identified jointly, but I feel this is 'jeweils' used in a general way to aid the flow/structure of the German sentence

agree  jccantrell: This one fits best if you need to keep that word in the sentence.
