in der Folge

Non-PRO Deutsch > Englisch Wirtschaft/Finanzwesen Staatswesen/Politik
From an Austrian specification for digital archive. (Apologies for using translated text. Time is very tight).

The planning and execution of preservation measures falls under the responsibility of an expert group (Preservation Team). Preservation always takes place as an autonomous project. The basis for decisions is provided by reports and external information like market observation, additional technical development, etc.. A concrete migration project may *in der Folge* be commissioned on the recommendation of the Preservation Team

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Susan Welsh, Ventnai

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.

agree bonafide1313 : yes, it seems to me even "therefore" as logical possibility, taken the preceding sentences

subsequently and consequently are not interchangeable in this context, the latter meaning the logical consequence whereas subsequently refers to a point of time (i.e. in the time that follows)

subsequently; consequently

Use both and add a note: that would be my solution here, as time is tight. I'm assuming that means no time to query it with the customer.

The way it's worded is rather unfortunate, as it can mean either; as "consequently" could be rendered from "als Folge" (which would have been the circumspect writer's choice, IMO), I tend to favour "subsequently", but as either is possible, that's my choice.

thus, therefore, hereafter, based on, leading to...
