Scattered thunderstorms

English to German Other Meteorology
Isolated thunderstorms vs. Scattered thunderstorms

Kontext: Software

"Isolated thunderstorms" sind vereinzelte Gewitter (bzw. vereinzelt Gewitter).

Folgende Quelle übersetzt beide Varianten gleich:
Isolated T-Storms=vereinzelt Gewitter
Scattered T-Storms=vereinzelt Gewitter

Wird die Unterscheidung zwischen "isolated" und "scattered" t-storm wirklich nur im Englischen gemacht?
Proposed translations (German)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

hazmatgerman (X) Apr 29, 2009:
man könnte "scattered" = gebietsweise und "isolated" = vereinzelt differenzieren, aber das wäre m.E. spitzfindig, so daß nichts gegen den Standard wie vorgeschlagen spricht.

vereinzelte Gewitter

Meines Wissens nach bedeuten beide Begriffe "vereinzelt". Der Unterschied liegt nur darin: isolated=auf ein kleines Gebiet beschränkt, scattered=auf ein weites Gebiet ausgedehnt. Beispiel dafür könnte sein: in Graz kommt es zu vereinzelten Gewittern (isolated) - in der Steiermark kommt es zu vereinzelten Gewittern (scattered)
