Internet-Angebot

English translation: website content/Internet service(s)

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Internet-Angebot
English translation:website content/Internet service(s)
Entered by: Natascha Mlynarski

German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Internet, e-Commerce / Homepage - Rechtlicher Hinweis
German term or phrase: Internet-Angebot
Sie können nahezu das gesamte ***Internet-Angebot*** der Firma X nutzen

Der Schutz von Kindern, die ***Internet-Angebote*** nutzen...

Links und Verweise zu anderen ***Internet-Angebote***

Es geht hier um den rechtlichen Hinweis zum Datenschutz.

Dieser Begriff kommt sehr häufig vor und irgendwie widerstrebt es mir, ihn mit***Internet offer*** zu übersetzen :-(

Liege ich falsch? Hat jemand einen Vorschlag?

Vielen, vielen Dank schon jetzt

Explanation:
Continuing from my comment on "Internet offer" below, what is meant here is what they present/offer on their website. That is not the same as an Internet offer, which may well be interpreted as a special offer (Sonderangebot) available only on the web. And by the way, I really think this sort of thing should be translated by a native speaker.

Pete,

Thank you very much for your suggestion - I shall opt for "website content".

And also thank you very much to everybody else for your suggestions.

As to native speaker, I asked at the agency whether they would be happy with "website". An English native speaker's suggestion was "Internet offer" which didn't appeal to me (I am only bilingual ;-)

Have a nice day

Natascha

disagree  Steven Sidore: with Richard

agree  BrigitteHilgner: Just to contradict the know-it-alls: There are more than a million google hits - so it can't be that wrong.

agree  Rebecca Garber: It's certainly better than some of the tech-speak out there, and describes the phenomenon quite well.

  -> Thanks, Rebecca.
disagree  Peter Barker: Just because it scores loads of Google hits it doesn't mean it's right. Of course the expression Internet offer exists in English. But it generally means something entirely different from Internet-Angebot!
51 mins
neutral  Ken Cox: With all the disagrees. In this context in English, an Internet offer would be a single, specific item offered for sale at a special price via the Internet, which is not the intended meaning.

agree  Ken Cox: or 'everything available on the website of XXX' in the first instance. If the context is legal, perhaps 'information, goods and services available on or via the website of...'. A literal translation is totally off the mark here.

disagree  M-A-Z: This would be called "Angebot im Internet", while "Internet-Angebot" nearly always refers to website content as evidenced on German-speaking Internet domains

website content


Explanation:
I wasn't sure that this is what it means, but a search for some of the phrases you cite reveals that they are standard phrases used on "data protection" pages on German websites, and that they simply refer to the website's content.

Here a few examples:

Disclaimer and website content ... about our data-protection policy to Bristol City Council at the following address: ...

agree  M-A-Z: I go for website content. "Internet service(s)" might refer just to the technical side of accessing the WWW, which is not at issue here.
