es geht um die richtige Präsentation

Beim Schenken geht es um die richtige Präsentation: Die Überraschung erst auspacken zu müssen, macht die Sache einfach spannender.

Gift giving presupposes a real presentation?

Thanks a lot in advance!
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Armorel Young, Helen Shiner

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.

Agree with Hermann Who is translating this text - the "translator" or the Proz community?
Norbert Hermann Feb 24, 2010:
What do the moderators say? Is this question together with the others in this lot not bordering on abuse of the system?

the way in which it is presented

I would suggest: "When presenting a gift, the way in which it is presented is of importance."

It's all about the right presentation

Generally "es geht um" can be easily translated to "it's all about" in this kind of construction, it tends to indicate a focal point, a centre stage.

it needs to be presented properly

The correct presentation is important - the present needs to be presented properly.
