German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / IT
German term or phrase: Zwangsläufigkeit
I know what it means - something along the lines of mandatory operation, but I can't find the proper IT terminology.

Künftig muss hierfür eine elektronische Information geschaffen werden, in der zum einen die zentralen Vereinbarungen sichtbar sind und zum anderen eine Zwangsläufigkeit zur Bearbeitung für die Märkten enthalten ist.

neutral  Rowan Morrell: This is a good general translation, but the asker wants it for a specific IT/computer context, in which it may mean something different.

agree  Gillian Scheibelein: this looks like general blah blah rather than specialised IT text

agree  Michael Stolte: Zwnagläufigkeit in this context to me is not specifically IT, therefore it's just the plain ...

neutral  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): with Rowan: 'inevitability' does not fit in this context, with Kim: something like mandatory or compulsory is very likely. More context could help.

Explanation:
Unfortunately, I can't be sure of this, as I haven't been able to find any resources that give anything other than a very general translation for "Zwangsläufigkeit". But it might fit your context. Hopefully someone who has a better knowledge of this area, and perhaps a good German-English IT dictionary or glossary, will be able to confirm or correct this. This probably hasn't helped a great deal, but nonetheless I hope it was of some assistance.

compelled signaling ???


Explanation:
In meinen sämtlichen IT-Wörterbüchern habe ich nur einen Begriff gefunden, der im Deutschen eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit aufweist, nämlich *Zwangslaufverfahren* (Quellen: v. Renouard, Fachwörterbuch Elektronische Medien und Dienste, Springer Berlin, sowie Brinkmann/Blaha, Wörterbuch der Daten- und Kommunikationstechni, Brandstetter Wiesbaden), aber vielleicht bringt das ja jemand anderen auf die entscheidende Idee....

Viel Glück!

must


Explanation:
In the future an electronic form of information (transfer) must be created which on the one hand makes the ssential terms of agreement (conventions) visible (transparent), and which at the same time must be processed for (by) the markets.
--
Granted, it's all very abstract, but I doubt you will be able to obtain one satisfactory term to correspond to "Zwangsläufigkeit".
As above, context would be the essential determinant here.
