German term or phrase:Der Start ist das Ziel
Pressemitteilung - Grand Prix Migros Kampagne 2010 - Der Start ist das Ziel!
Unter dem Motto «Der Start ist das Ziel» startet das grösste Kinder-Skirennen Europas in die Saison 2010.
I know what is meant and am merely looking for a clever way of phrasing it.
I wasn't referring to the original team arrangement open to all. Of course the badge site is a site-within-the-site. It's not just one closed forum like the membership forum. It's an out-of-sight site being run exclusively for badge holders and apparently it's also used as sounding board for new ideas, features etc. The great unwashed are no longer consulted at all. :-)
... except that there is indeed a forum open exclusively to "P" members. To speak of a "site within the site" in this respect would be exaggerating matters IMHO, and there is no such thing as "secret terms help" for P badge wearers only. The private team option has been in place for several years - way before the "P club" was launched.
Thanks for the insight into the hidden workings of the site, writeaway. As this is all hush-hush, I suppose we can expect a mod to delete on the catch-all grounds of ‘non-linguistic comment’.
The P site is a site-within-the-site, hidden away and only visible/accessible to people who have the red Proz P badge. It has its own forums, discussions, terms help and teams-so a life of its own. Not for us 'ordinary folk'.
As for rules, there are no rules for or against this type of question, just a lot of debate and discussions in the regular site Kudoz forums. Some of us don't agree with posting/answering them but others do. So it's up to the individual.
@Stephen: Is your jaw wired??? What about Christmas dinner? Just liquid refreshments? Ouch! Good timing as they say in the music world. Gute Besserung! :-)
Now, you've got me puzzling. Can you give chapter and verse of the forums you mention which explain what KudoZ is or is not there for - and what is the "secret P site" ?
I would like to know in order not to do something "irregular" by mistake. BTW I am only an ordinary ProZ member.
no, I don't have it 'wrong'. This is more than just 'help'. it's "merely providing a clever way to phrase it'. Merely that. Read the forums-you'll see I'm not the one who has it "wrong".
Anyway Stephen has explained the extenuating circumstances in this case. But there are private teams/forums on the secret P site for this and imo, brainstorming is better than a right/wrong question/answer.
Don't you think that you got it wrong?
We are helping each other to translate on a avery high standard and we are supposed to help each other!
And I think it is quite sensible to ask such a question!
Of course it is, nonetheless this forum provides help and I am stuck trying to find something. I also help other members frequently. Moreover my jaw is broken which definitely catches me in poor form!
Explanation: Maybe not that groovy but it conveys the same idea. I presume this is about getting children ready and up for starting competitive skiing.
