relevant documents Explanation: None of my dictionaries translate gegenstaendlich as relevant. Instead I get objective, concrete. But in this context, relevant works. Experience. |

representational/representative documents Explanation: It is a more general term, maybe, or perhaps you could use 'concrete', with reference to the manuals, drawings etc. Experience |

materials and documents Explanation: I think in this particular context, the word "gegenständlich" is literal and refers to the actual materials (i.e. manuals, disks and data contained thereon, technical records, etc.), rather than just to documents. You might say "relevant materials and documents", but since disks are specifically mentioned, it might be wise to include the word "materials". professional experience |
