Swedish term or phrase: sälgpremiär
Proofing a job by another translator, I see that he has used a direct translation, namely, "sales premiere". Is that right? I can't find any relevant Google hits and while that term is certainly clear in its meaning, I don't recall ever seeing it or hearing it.

"I samband med säljpremiären lämnas en köpanmälan in." - as an example.

sales debut; market launch
Explanation:
Another French word - notably debut - tends to work none times out of ten for premiere out of most Germanic, including Scandinavian lingos.

No idea of the discussion entries as has taken too long to post this answer, but market launch if fits the civil engineering 'sales' context.

Explanation:
I don't recognise “sales premiere” either, but I don't think it's incorrect. “Sales start” is an alternative, as is “start of sales” but they're neither better nor worse. I suggest you let “sales premiere” pass this time.
