41 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): -1
peer agreement (net): -1looming stock shortage Explanation: maybe looming is closer to the original text? or imminent? BR -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-07-17 18:24:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I agree with Ineke's comment about the underspending of a budget and I wondered about it myself. A little more context would be useful. I think this is just a badly chosen word for stock shortages in the Dutch text, which the software will then flag, but it really depends on the context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-07-17 18:32:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also found the following KudoZ link about onderschrijding: http://dut.proz.com/kudoz/dutch_to_english/engineering_gener... |
