French term

commande

French to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations conditions générales
Hi,

I know I have already posted a question with the term "contrat de commande"
which I believe may be "commissioning contract", I dont think I can say "commission" for "commande"...

"Dans le cas où une annonce paraît à l’encontre d’un ordre remis à l’éditeur, l’annonceur peut uniquement prétendre à une réduction de prix équivalente à la commande préalablement établie pour l’annonce en question,"

Thank you in advance

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.

Discussion

veratek Dec 6, 2012:
What is the situation here? Why would an ad be published if it goes against the instructions given? Did I misunderstand something or is this the situation they are talking about?
Emma Paulay Dec 6, 2012:
Booking Is the usual term for ad space - and "instructions" would be more appropriate than "order" for the first part.
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Dec 6, 2012:
Ordre "Order" would be a normal translation for "commande" here. The meaning of "ordre" in the first part of the sentence is in the sense of instruction, command. If you wish to avoid ambiguity and crossed false friends, my suggestion would be to use a synonym along the lines of "instructions".
veratek Dec 5, 2012:
maybe "insertion order" then...
Louisa Tchaicha (asker) Dec 5, 2012:
@veratek I have already used "order" for ordre in the same sentence, booking is good, maybe I could use that, thank you

Peer comment(s):

agree Nikki Scott-Despaigne : "Order" works well with "instruction(s)" being a possible solution for "ordre" in the first part of the sentence. Not mad about "booking" here myself though. ;-)
