General note about context :-) Explanation: General note about context: Ample context from the asker is both a valuable tool and a simple courtesy much appreciated by your would-be helpers: Both to help us invest our own time efficiently in your behalf -- as you are requesting -- and to give you the best answers possible, it makes good sense to include adequate context in your queries -- as a minimum: (1) a definition of the general context (subject matter), plus (2) ample specific context: the entire source sentence (or more -- excepting of course confidential/proprietary information, which can be disguised or omitted.) (Other useful information may include for instance the target audience/country and the purpose of the translation.) The purpose of this message is not to be critical but to be helpful – not merely in the context of the present question but also of improving the quality of KudoZ questions and answers in general. All the best, Tom. |

The value is provided for each user via xxx. Explanation: I agree with the other pros' opinions as to the lack of context here. I have found in the past that "benutzerabhängig" is often just the typical convoluted German way of saying "for each user". Could it be that here? Own experience. |
