(Third Act on the conversion of hard coal into electricity
not a very good translation I must admit but at least it explains what it is. See Internet site.

no English equivalent
The term is not really translatable, since there is (to my knowledge) no official English equivalent. In cases such as this, I repeat the German term followed by an explanation in brackets in English:
\"(Drittes Verstromungsgesetz [a German law which requires utility customers to pay a subsidy to compensate power producers for the use of more expensive anthracite])\"
Long-winded, yes, but it at least gives the reader some idea of what\'s being talked about.
\"(Drittes Verstromungsgesetz [a German law which requires utility customers to pay a subsidy to compensate power producers for the use of more expensive anthracite])\"
Long-winded, yes, but it at least gives the reader some idea of what\'s being talked about.

Klaus, in my experience literal translation of foreign laws, acts, etc. without repeating the original titles and providing some explanation in the target language is next to useless. What if the reader wants to find the original? What does he look for?
