| | I have made quite a few edits here, and I have one question for you: Do you really mean "feedback" (an opinion expressed about something) or should it be "response"? |

| piasNúmero de mensagens: 8113 | Thank you for correcting...I know, sometimes my way of writing english is clumsy. I'm working on that
I checked the word feedback and when translating the danish word 'tilbagemelding' it says either feedback or reaction. Does that sounds strange? |

| | Well ... it depends - as I said above, giving feedback means giving an opinion, not just a response to someone's inquiry. So if the correspondent had said something like "I really like your website", that would be feedback, but if he had said something like "We are interested in your company," that would be a response, because there is no opinion expressed. |

| piasNúmero de mensagens: 8113 | ok, I really dont know what the rest of the text is saying, this part that should be translated is saying nothing about it, but my guess is that the reciever had produced some sort of proposal...
Maybe, It is best to be more like neutral, and write to your sugest: respons.
Should I correct that?

| | About the response-feedback discussion: it really should be "response" and not feedback in this context.
Some other comments:
(1) In the Danish text, it doesn´t say "we will get back to you AGAIN", just "we will get back to you".
(2) "Oplæg" = "proposal" and not "further information".
(3) The sentence that starts "Allerede nu barsler vi med en anderledes og spændende indgangsvinkel" actually says "Already now we are giving birth to a different and exciting approach" --> Barsle = give birth to (figuratively) and indgangsvinkel = approach.

I think you know what you are talking about, so I will make thoose corrections.
I hope that is ok. Kafetzou...??
I'll try and see what you think. |

| | A agree with all of these corrections except for the "giving birth to" one. Even though everyone will understand it, it sounds awkward in English. I actually like your original idea of "hatching" better, so I will change it back.
Also, we don't begin sentences with "already now" in English, so I will change the word order.
Is this OK with you two now? |
