agree  writeaway: yes-term was incorrectly parsed (jargon used by some with glee)
15 mins
  -> Thanks, writeaway
agree  Susanne Rindlisbacher
27 mins
  -> Danke schön, Susanne
neutral  Andrew Bramhall: With respect, the term we were asked to translate was 'Raucherwaren' ; this is "Smoker's Requisites" IMHO in UK English;//the convention is to actually translate the phrase in the question box;
33 mins
  -> Depends on whether one is translating the term in the text or not.
neutral  Yorkshireman: I believe smokers requisites are pipe-cleaners, ashtrays, matches, cigarette holders, lighters, etc.

agree  Alison Jenner: For info., French version: "A moins que la présente ordonnance n'en dispose autrement, les produits du tabac et les produits contenant des succédanés de tabac destinés à être fumés" http://www.admin.ch/opc/fr/classified-compilation/20021287/i...
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Alison
neutral  philgoddard: I don't agree that the asker has parsed it incorrectly. Raucherwaren is smoking products, Tabakersatzstoffen is tobacco substitutes.
1 hr
  -> Agreed, but since we are talking about Raucherwaren mit Tabakersatzstoffen, my point was that one can forget requisites and co.
