German term or phrase: Auslösung vs. Delegierung
Es geht um Entsendungen von Mitarbeitern ins Ausland. Der Kunde sagt, Entsendungen bis 2 Jahre hießen "Auslösung", 2-6 Jahre Delegierung. Kennt jemand das überhaupt (Schweizer Deutsch??) und wie unterscheide ich das ggf. auf Englisch?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Vielen Dank, ich werde das als Ansatz nehmen, aber beide Male assignment und in Klammern das deutsche Wort, denn wie das immer so ist: kaum, stelle ich hier was rein, läuft die tagelang sehnsüchtig erwartete E-Mail vom Kunden ein und sagt mir, was ich nehmen soll und dass diese (etwas dämlichen) Begriffe spezifische Firmensprache sind. Deshalb gab es auch nichts zu ergoogeln. Vielen Dank!


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Steffen Walter: I'd use "assignment" or "secondment" in both cases, making only the "short-term" vs. "long-term" distinction.

neutral  Ken Cox: with Steffen -- deployment has no connotation of assignment (in the sense intended here) or secondment\\IMHO Leo is a sort of discussion forum and should not be regarded as reliable or authoritative.
