agree  Irene Schlotter, Dipl.-Übers.: Don't translate unless the client explicitly wishes a localized email address. Even then, you would have to doublecheck with the client so see which addresses are feasible //or available, I agree. This just seemed too obvious...

  -> Not only feasible, but available. You have to own the name before you can use it, otherwise, you end up in trouble and have to pay a lot more than you should have to.
