neutral  Lancashireman: "in den Bereichen Energieeffizienz und Ökoenergie": This version is missing the reference to Strahlkraft.// Asker is obviously hoping to get the Energie/Strahl wordplay in. Your version sounds a bit flat (UTT as opposed to OTT).
1 hr
  -> One meaning of Strahlkraft is "influence"
agree  philgoddard: I think the wordplay, assuming there is any, is incidental. I've often seen variations on this phrase that don't relate to electricity.
4 hrs
  -> Thanks, I don't think the translation needs any fancification or wordplay

neutral  AllegroTrans: Sorry but I find this completely OTT
1 hr
  -> No problem, but I'll add an alternative you might be able to live with , okay?
agree  Lancashireman: With your second version: Its prestige radiates... (I find 'influence' rather understated)
2 hrs
  -> Translators are a finnicky bunch! But, I think so, too.

neutral  Lancashireman: Missing 'from'? // draws interest far beyond Europe = draws it to other continents
4 mins
  -> I would not use it that way because it sounds clumsier then//I would favor ease of expression over grammatical precision (unless we’d then be left with really bad grammar) Here, there seems little danger of people drawing wrong conclusions
