Hi Claudia,

How to phrase your translation should be either determined by a global terminology list provided by the client or simply by using common sense.

For standard terms, and if no such terminology list exists, it's always a good idea to consult the MS glossaries.

Best regards,
Stefan ▲ Collapse
