Encouragement prize Я бы постарался перевести правильно и точно, хотя клиент предлагает другой вариант. Encouraging не правильно и слишком дословно. Да, в японских сайтах можете найти. Encouragement prize-можно, если клиент просит, то можно использовать, этот вариант не totally wrong.

Michael, по "encouraging" еще и японские сайты выдает. Не носителями, по всей видимости, написано.

Sofi_S (asker) Jul 26, 2020:

Олег, по-моему, этот тот самый случай, когда totally wrong :))

In my practice I adhere to the principle: 'The client is always right unless totally wrong'.

Заказчик предлагает encouraging prize. Что вы думаете по этому поводу? Я не совсем согласна. Хотя бы уж encouragement...

The way I see it, a prize is something you win in a competition with other people, not something you get in a one man (laboratory) race.
