Se nedan! Explanation: Nä, det rör sig om slutändan på ett ben vilket gör det möjligt att justera höjden på möbeln med 200 mm. Jag sitter just nu vid ett sådant bord och skriver! If you want to stick close to the original, you could write "adjustable feet" but it would be just as understandable as "ställfot" was! Personally I would forget about the words and communicate the image by writing "adjustable termination of leg" and "span of adjustment"! Native Swedish and english speaker. |

adjustable foot Explanation: I found severak UK manufacturers of adjustable feet, one of them at: www.alexander-industrial.co.uk/feet.htm at http://www.alexander-industrial.co.uk/feet.htm Although it's generally the other way round, translation can also be easier than we expect! I didn't find anything about "ställområde" but of course "range of adjustment" is what it is. Depending on the style of the text, this could perhaps be expressed more elegantly in English, which hasn't the same love of nouns as German and the Scandinavian languages. .See above |
