Textcomposing

English translation: automatically generated copy

07:18 Sep 24, 2023
German to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / ad campaign
German term or phrase: Textcomposing
This is from a description of all the possibilities for an advertising campaign:

Fertige Assets inklusive Textcomposings für Ihre Social Media Kanäle

I hate trying to translate these silly Denglish words back into proper English.

"text composings" or text compositions" certainly won’t work.

Maybe something along the lines of "copy"?

Explanation:
A token, alternative answer for the benefit of non-regular ProZ voters, AI standing for ArtIficial Intelligence, rather than Advanced Idiocy.

The (Spurs-supporting, monolingual English) human copywriters at our Central London T&I Office had - 30 years ago anyway - been made redundant by the New Techonogy of DTP / desk-top publishing.

[complete] social media text posts


Explanation:
If this relates to ready-to-use assets, generated on-demand per social media channel, then [complete/fully formed] social media text posts might fit.

Or ready-composed / auto-composed social media posts / copy

In that case, you'd opt for 'content', not just 'text/copy'.

sorry, the 'in that case' note was in reply to Steffen's 'surrounding context' comment below

and 'post' would also cover both text and image content

neutral  Steffen Walter: Not just "text" - these assets surely also include images and audio/video content. / Sure, but the surrounding context tells you otherwise.
