German term

aus einem Guss

German to English Marketing Metallurgy / Casting
Die anderen Einträge in den glossaries passen für meinen Text nicht richtig.
Es geht um eine Broschüre einer Gießerei, die verschiedenste Gussteile für unterschiediche Branchen anbietet. Auf dem Titelblatt der Broschüre steht groß und fett "AUS EINEM GUSS", darunter der Firmenname. Damit scheint gemeint zu sein: viele unterschiedliche Gussteile aus einer Hand für viele unterschiedliche Branche und das auch noch mit perfektem Service etc - daher auch "aus einem Guss". Bin dankbar für jeden Vorschlag!

"from fluid to solid"? Anyway - what's the readership for your translation? And aren't you wary of overusing the "cast" element? Perhaps you have something completely original in mind?
Ingeborg Gowans (X) Feb 19, 2007:
http://www.webtranslate.de/o.k. I just saw your answer; so this probably won't do..?
silvia glatzhofer (asker) Feb 19, 2007:
@ Ingeborg: Yes, if by all means possible, I want to keep the pun, cause I found equivalents for all the other puns and proverbs used as headlines in the brochure. All in all the text has some 8 or so headlines, including "cast iron solutions", "not everyone is cast in the same mould", "from fluid to solid", and dice that have been cast, etc. etc. ad nauseum. Now I am looking for sthg. catchy for the cover.
Ingeborg Gowans (X) Feb 19, 2007:
this is a tricky on.e I imagine you'll want to keep the pun?

Oder sowas, dann hast du im Englischen gleich noch einen "pun" drin, nähmlich cast im Sinne von "Besetzung, Team"

for all your casting needs

or even: the only caster you'll need

I'm expecting other people to come up with better ideas, but this is the first suggestion that comes to my mind!
Peer comment(s):
agree Bernhard Sulzer : like "the only caster you'll need" maybe with "ever need"

Cast into a unified whole

"aus einem Guss" means "unified whole", but to maintain the link to casting................
