Selected
in more than one region
nationwide and not just in a single region

keep away from supra and trans - these are what I call \"Eurospeak\" language. No self-respecting Englishman/woman would talk like that!

: Sounds most logical to me. If we're talking about a specific "Bundesland", maybe we could say "not just in [the state of Baden-Württemberg] but also nationwide".

: I find "transregional" or "trans-regional" very expressive, especially for the given context. Yes, "supra-regional" would follow immediately after.

: "Supra-regional" could work, but I think it sounds too much like legalese.

in different areas/regions of the world
perhaps, given that *domestically/nationally* is covered

or *across regions*

In keeping with *multi-region* DVD players, I think *multi-region* might fit the bill though I\'m not certain, of course.
The German authors might have had the term multi-region on their mind or may have previously translated it into *proper* German ... and now it\'s going back into English. Anything\'s possible these days :-)

Did you read what I wrote? *National* is already covered by *landesweit*.

transregional[ly] is another option
both 'supraregional' and 'transregional' (in each case either hyphenated or unhyphenated) are widely used terms in this context, though the adverbial forms (with -ly) are avoided where possible

mms747 (X)
: I find "transregional" very good, expressive and only one word, compared with my "global zones".

Being about the geographical structure/positioning of a Client-Server software that is planned to be used more that within a country, this implies “global zones”, which sounds better (less generic) than “international”.

interregional
This was for example used by my former company when pipeline systems were under discussion. Maybe it'll fit here.
