Norwegian term

Markedsaktørene

Norwegian to English Bus/Financial Economics general expression
Å avgjøre slike spørsmål er opp til aktørene i markedet.
"market actors " høres jo ut som et omreisende teater, og er vel ikke en brukbar anglofisering av "markedsaktører"?
(Kunnskapsforlagets blå har unngått problemet ved ikke engang å tilby oversettelse av ordet "aktør". Svakt, synes jeg! Hvilken norsk-engelsk / engelsk-norsk ordbok anbefales av kollegiet her?)

operator "Player" has a negative, almost unethical sound to it. I prefer "operator" in formal documents.
Non-ProZ.com May 22, 2004:
Operator / player Hva, som er best av 'market operator' og 'market player' er ikke lett � si da 'player' vel er n�rmest v�r 'akt�r' (actor), men 'market operator' h�res p� mange m�ter ogs� veldig riktig ut.

Kunnskapsforlagets Store N-E has \"actor, player, participant\" for \"aktør\" and \"market participant, market operator, market player\" for \"markedsaktør\".

This is the new Kunnskapsforlagets Store N-E, which is available electronically with both Wordfinder and iFinger interfaces. It is, in my view, a much better dictionary than Kirkeby\'s, although there is no harm in having both - and Kirkeby\'s dictionary sometimes has solutions that you will not find in the new dictionary. It is also worth having a copy of Einar Haugen\'s dictionary (paper only).

PS Wordfinder offers a package for a reasonable price that includes Kunnskapsforlagets Store (both ways) as well as a number of specialist dictionaries, including Helle Snellingen\'s Økonomisk Ordbok, Prestesæter\'s Teknisk Ordbok and Åge Lind\'s Juridisk Ordbok.

In my view Janet Ågenæs\' Økonomisk Ordbok is better than Snellingen\'s, but the electronic version is only available with the iFinger interface. If you do a lot of legal work, you should also have, at the very least, Ronald Craig\'s Store Juridisk Ordbok and Chaffey & Walford\'s Juridisk Ordbok (Strafferett) is also valuable, although dated. Walford is almost finished with a new dictionary for strafferett that should be coming out soon.

PPS - Wordfinder also offers some of the extremely useful Danish Dictionaries from L&H at far more reasonable prices than the Textware version from Denmark. The large Danish-English/English Danish general dictionaries published by Gyldendal are also very valuable but, as far as I know, the electronic versions are only available in the new Textware format.
