Dutch term or phrase: vertaalslag
Als Software Designer ben je verantwoordelijk om vanuit een aangeleverde architectuur de vertaalslag te maken naar de verschillende deelsystemen, zoals die gemaakt dienen te worden.
I don't know what 'vertaalslag' means, and I can't really see what the writer means by the last phrase 'zoals...'. It looks like 'vertaalslag maken' is one 'idea' in the singular and then the last phrase is in the plural.

Explanation:
Een vertaalslag maken (from one thing to another) means to apply one thing to another, (lierally to translate from the one concept to another). So in this case it is "to apply the supplied/given structure to the various subsystems, which are to be developed." The last phrase therefore refers to the subsystems and is correct in the plural.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much, Fiona!


Explanation:
Glad this has been added to the Proz database as after churning out thousands of words, I was stumped by the following:

Bij het verzamelen van gegevens gaat het om de vertaalslag van wat je beschikbaar hebt, naar wat er wordt gevraagd.

When gathering data it is important to apply the availability to the subsequent demand.
