Statement white

English to French Marketing Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Il s'agit d'un questionnaire sur la mode et il faut choisir entre trois couleurs : "statement white", "striking purple" et "basic black". Si vous avez des idées pour traduire "statement white", elles sont les bienvenues ! Si, en passant vous avez des suggestions originales pour "striking purple", ça n'est pas de refus non plus...

Sep 13, 2010 17:54: ALIAS trad changed "Level" from "Non-PRO" to "PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): Stéphanie Soudais, FX Fraipont (X), ALIAS trad

Non-PRO (1): GILLES MEUNIER

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.

Il s'agit des couleurs pour le concours "True Colours" organisé par Swatch.
ALIAS trad Sep 13, 2010:
... Vous pourriez donner plus de précisions ? Ce sont des couleurs qui existent ? Ou bien des couleurs censées refléter un trait de caractère ?(En gros, le questionnaire sur la mode, ca concerne une ligne de vêtement réelle, ou c'est dans l'absolu ?)
Stéphanie Soudais Sep 13, 2010:
Pour "striking purple" il faudra poser une autre question (cf http://www.proz.com/siterules/kudoz_asking/2.3#2.3)

disagree Tony M : I think we're talking about 'statement' in the sense of a 'fashion statement' here, nothing to do with what may or may not be printed on it; this runs the risk of over-translation
