Why would you want to create a new translation when the manufacturer (Fein) already has an English version for the entire text? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 Stunden (2018-03-06 08:02:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The spaces between some of the words did not copy correctly. Should of course read: with MT 3 socket and output Ø 30 mm, adjusting range 15-80 Nm for speed range 0-500 rpm., weight 2,2 kg, incl. rubber ring, cylindrical pin,clamping sleeve and hook spanner |

peer agreement (net): +1[safety] torque limiter Explanation: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutschkupplung Link in lower left-hand corner of the German page leads to the equivalent English page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_limiter The Sicherheit/safety element is understood and therefore superfluous. https://www.mayr.com/en/products/torque-limiters http://www.techdrives.co.uk/html/torque_limiters.html?gclid=... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 4 hrs (2018-03-06 12:35:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I can think of several reasons why your client might want a new translation: 1) The context is drilling, not automotive. Therefore the use of 'clutch' is inappropriate. 2) 'Safety slipping' = slipping out of safety, i.e. opposite to the intended effect. 3) The general standard of the Fein website is poor. Examples: a) "We have produced the FEIN accessory finder to enable you to find the right accessories" (tautology) b) "Cordless-screwdrivers" - with a hyphen! c) Large angle grinders / Straight Grinders (sloppy use of caps) |
