Nederlands term

klachtenregistratie- en meldingssysteem

Non-PRO Nederlands naar Engels Sociale wetenschappen Internationale organisaties / ontwikkeling / samenwerking
Op de tweede plaats dienen zij een klachten- en bezwaarregeling te hebben voor donateurs en voor burgers en organisaties uit ontwikkelingslanden, waarin ook een klachtenregistratie- en meldingssysteem is opgenomen.

Is there a standard English phrase for this? And while we're at it, is there one for the klachten- en bezwaarregeling as well?

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): JAN SNAUWAERT

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.

Off the record 'Complaint and appeal procedure' is a standard expression for your second source term :-)

No personal attack intended You may interpret my comments any way you like but it was not intended as a personal attack (no names were mentioned) but only as an attempt at devoting our time to the fundamental purpose of this site: to help those who ask for it. I believe that there is no problem whatsoever in dealing with two terms (which are presented in Dutch as a single term) as separate entries in the Glossary.
JAN SNAUWAERT Apr 23, 2009:
personal attack I think it's a pitty that the tone of discussion is becoming harsh and personal. There was an objectively correct remark by writeaway and according to the KudoZ rules, he simply was right. So, if you want less "bureaucracy" (what has this topic to do with bureaucracy?), the question should be directed to people who decide how KudoZ should function. For the remaining, I think that everyone here spending time and effort in trying to answer other translators' questions, is already contributing to this ProZ community, that I already have become to like a lot.
jarry (X) Apr 23, 2009:
One or two terms? Strictly speaking, "klachtenregistratie systeem" and "klachten medingssysteem" are two terms. However, I for one cannot see the any problem in dealing with these two terms in the Glossary as separate terms. You simply mention them separately in both Dutch and in English. Let's not bureaucracy govern all our actions. After all this is a community of people meant to help one another, not to throw up obstacles at every conceivable opportunity. That is not the spirit and the essence of this forum. I find it quite striking that it is the members who contribute the least to this community who are inclined to "throw a spanner in the works" all the time. Have a nice evening all of you.
JAN SNAUWAERT Apr 23, 2009:
One term per question (cont.) Well, I don't want to interfere, but writeaway was saying that the original question already had 2 terms, not one, as you seem to defend. He also explained why: it is glossary-related. Other than that, I am willing to do a suggestion.
adremco (asker) Apr 23, 2009:
Right. That's right. So let's forget about the second one. But "Klachtenregistratie- en meldingssysteem" is definately one term. Have any answers, writeaway?
writeaway Apr 23, 2009:
One term per question This question already has 2 terms so two more would make it three too many. 2.3 One term is allowed per question. Including multiple terms for translation in a single KudoZ posting interferes with the process of generating glossary entries. http://www.proz.com/siterules/kudoz_asking/2.3#2.3

Sorry: that should read the bureaucratic STANCE of others notwithstanding.
Peer comment(s):

agree JAN SNAUWAERT : Jan it's not bureaucratic, it's glossary-related. It seems important to malke that distinction.

Thank you. It is bureaucratic, however, and could be easily solved with a bit of flexibility.
agree Kitty Brussaard : Another good option :-)
