Jetter

Indeed, if I may say so, you seem to always have very informative and well-supported (links) answers. It is the reason why you most likely will never see me posting a "disagree" to one of them. You even convinced me from time to time to change my neutral to agree (actually, something I don't see very often from others).

I am simply thinking of the glossary and that, at least in my view, the GER-EN/EN-GER translation entries (in contrast to EN-EN etc.) should contain an answer directly referring to the relevant field. The KudoZ sentence you quoted is a general phrase because it has to account for all eventualities (for example, EN-EN as above). Since the field is not retail but agriculture, I'd expect that both relevant terms be mentioned somewhere in the answer (jetter = Spülaufnahme / jetter washing system = Reinigungsautomat, I believe but I am not entirely sure). The asker also said in her opening statement that she is no expert and needs "Hilfe bei der genauen Benennung der Teile der Maschine".

I merely provided additional information to your answer, which I think is the most helpful and should be rewarded.

The idea behind my answers is to provide information, not necessarily to offer a precise translation of a term. That said, one, or perhaps several, of the pieces of information posted may indeed be the translation the asker is seeking.

I quote,"Your KudoZ answer was chosen as most helpful. " - not "Your KudoZ answer was the best translation"

You're right about the manual/automated part - I only posted it as neutral because I couldn't quite put my finger on it. First thought it had something to do with the aforementioned, but no: it's the "set" I don't like. You've delivered a well-written explanation that I could agrre to without a doubt.

I simply don't think "Set" in this context is an answer to the asker's question. I changed the comment accordingly. BTW: "Spülaufnahme" is also listed in the link to which you referred me.

Just an example directly related to the entire sentence in question:
"Vor-und Nachbereitungsarbeiten (Melkzeuge vor dem Melken aus der Spülaufnahme nehmen, Reinigen des Melkstandgebäudes"

The water for cleaning/rinsing the "Zitzenbecher" is enters through the single tube and can rinse a whole cluster of them (Melkzeug) at one time on the "branches".
