Czech term or phrase: podlozku a\~tycinku
My question is: Should the slash sign be the way it shows in the example or should it be this way: /

Thanks in advance, Susanne Lindberg

Explanation:
In my opinion, the slash should be in this direction: "/". The inverted slash is not used in general language very often.
But anyway, what is the context of your phrase? It doesn't make any sense to me!?

  -> diky.
disagree  Pavel Blann: \~ means a hard space in Trados and maybe other CATs, too
10 hrs
  -> I see your point. That is why I wrote "in general language". Anyway, I think that if the American outsourcer had dealt with a "CAT text", he would have let us know.
