606300 Achats de petit équipement

Non-PRO French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
This appears in an accounting report. I have tentatively translated it as 'Purchase of minor equipment supplies' but am not sure this is correct.
Change log

Feb 2, 2021 16:26: mchd changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (2): Daryo, Conor McAuley

Non-PRO (3): philgoddard, Yvonne Gallagher, mchd

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.

At Daryo: last night, French (Qatari -- beIN) TV told me that the Bayern Munich goalkeeper Neuer might keep a 15th-a-row clean sheet versus Hertha Berlin. What do I care?

Now that just tells me that Bayern is a really good team, that performs well against Hertha, which is a bad team, going by the the league table.

My stats, however, demonstrate collocation.

The question was just barely into PRO territory, in all fairness, no offence Mari, so Daryo you were right, strictly speaking, to object to the lack of extra supporting evidence.

To Daryo: we were once paid in the weight of gold of the papyrus, I believe. Arabic to Latin was to must-have combination. Our numbers come from Arabic.

disagree Daryo : this is accounting, not informal chit-chat. // Ghits as "proof" that it's the right translation in this specific ST? Sure, then why not replace you by MT ... it's better and quicker at counting ghits, after all?
