I am translating a journalist's article on innovation with references to over 30 different pieces of equipment. This is only one small section...which means there may very well be some more questions coming! :-))
Z.E. Ball (asker) Aug 8, 2007:
Sorry but the 2 examples are both captions so there is no previous sentence. Before "mit" is the company's name for the equipment which I don't want to reveal.
Audrey Foster (X) Aug 8, 2007:
"Plough" ist mir leider nicht klar genug. Wie lautet der vorherige Satz, bitte?
Non-ProZ.com Aug 8, 2007:
sein automatisches Überfahrsystem....belonging to the plough.
Audrey Foster (X) Aug 8, 2007:
"Sein automatisches Überfahrsystem*s*" oder "Sein automatisches Überfahrsystem"? Auf welches Nomen im vorherigen Satz bezieht sich das Possessivpronomen "sein"?

agree Lancashireman : Good pic and well-chosen site. Quite well translated though not 100% native speaker IMO. If asker is working for Schmidt, she could do worse than recycle this inspired coining by her predecessor.
