LittleBalu is absolutely right - because while Edith shows that the term "structural foundation" is used in architecture, she provides no evidence at all that it is a translation of "Bodenrelief", and the total lack of context prevented the discussion

Ulrike Kraemer Sep 12, 2008:

Fully agree with Armorel's comment. You "hope" that Edith's suggestion is right? Well, that's all you can do considering the context you gave when posting the question.

Armorel Young Sep 12, 2008:

Can I ask how you expect good answers when you give the essential information on context only when you close the question, rather than when you post it? Why didn't you tell us in the first place that you were translating a book on walls?

Steffen Walter Sep 11, 2008:

Sounds like gardening/landscaping to me.
(I agree with the previous commentators that there is definitely room to improve your asking style.)

Ulrike Kraemer Sep 11, 2008:

With Armorel. Impossible to answer without more context.

Armorel Young Sep 10, 2008:

More context please. What is the text about? - Edith has replied as though it relates to a building, but you say the subject is geology.
