Unsere Werbung wird gehört

English translation: We get our message across / Getting your message across

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase: Unsere Werbung wird gehört English translation: We get our message across / Getting your message across Entered by: Orla Ryan

13:53 May 20, 2005

German to English translations [PRO] Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / slogan/headline
German term or phrase: Unsere Werbung wird gehört Anyone feeling creative on a Friday afternoon? This is a slogan from the front cover of a catalogue for a firm selling promotional materials (lighters with logos, clothing in company colours - that kind of stuff). The main cover image is a megaphone, so the English version of the text needs to retain a link to hearing/listening/volume. Just to make it easy (!), the space available for the English version is very limited - 27 characters max. Thanks in advance!

Non-ProZ.com 08:48 May 23, 2005  Good. Sorted. :-) Thanks again to all - and apologies to the other 12 answerers for the string of "Asker's Note" emails in your inboxes... Textklick Sure - I concur with Ian. Orla and you got it right 08:40 May 23, 2005  IanW (X) No, the grading's fine. Chris sent me a mail wondering why "our message" had been picked instead of "your message" and I must have misread it too before I sounded off about it. Sorry! 08:33 May 23, 2005  Non-ProZ.com 08:30 May 23, 2005  I think I've missed something here. If someone feels that I've graded incorrectly, I'd prefer a direct approach. In this case, there's certainly a case to be made for a different choice and, had I read through the list more carefully, I'd probably have given proper credit for the first mention of "message" and selected Chris's answer. Textklick Sorry Ians both - Fazit: read the ruddy feedback :-( 08:18 May 23, 2005  Non-ProZ.com 08:13 May 23, 2005  Yes - thanks to Textklick for the first mensh of "your message"! IanW (X) Whoops, sorry (you can blame Chris for that one) 08:05 May 23, 2005  Non-ProZ.com 08:03 May 23, 2005  Ian: The "our" appears in the yellow headline because that's how Orla initially entered the answer that you improved on, but "Getting your message across" is what I used (see my feedback note). Thanks again! IanW (X) Ian, shouldn't that be "We get YOUR message across"? 07:54 May 23, 2005  Textklick Francis has a point. It could possibly be kerned to fit. 15:27 May 20, 2005  Non-ProZ.com 14:59 May 20, 2005  Small enough to allow 33 characters, Frank? ;-) No chance, unfortunately. And certainly not sufficiently to allow 22% more text! Thanks everyone for the input so far. Francis Lee (X) 27 characters? Any chance of reducing the font size, if you know what I mean ...? 14:55 May 20, 2005  Kim Metzger Mexico Good point, Ian. Askers should be given that right. 14:25 May 20, 2005  Non-ProZ.com 14:08 May 20, 2005  Thanks for mending the mangled umlaut, Kim. (How come you can do this and an Asker can't?) Non-ProZ.com 14:00 May 20, 2005  Sorry guys - my browser now shows the "�" as a capital A with a line over it, followed by a paragraph/line return sign. Can anyone edit this? Pretty please... Jonathan MacKerron mine too 13:55 May 20, 2005  silfilla Hi, Ian-- does it say *gehoert*? My browser is having trouble reading umlauts. :-( 13:55 May 20, 2005  Automatic update in 00:

Unsere Werbung wird gehört Ahoi there! Explanation: A megaphone, like in boating, and you want to attract attention.
