was launched to promote


Explanation:
Ovakav tip rečenica englezi koriste u Passive voice pa bi u tom slucaju bio gore navedeni izraz u pasivu.Evo nekoliko primjera sa pomenutim glagolom:
He was promoted to senior editor.
The team have been promoted to the First Division.
Mediators were present to promote dialogue.
The island is being promoted as a destination for romantic getaways.
dole je link sa jednim takvim slicnim primjerom

neutral  Vesna Maširević: Ali kakve to ima veze sa pitanjem?/ Sve je to u redu (e.g. XY was launched to promote the Publisher) ali zaista ne bih rekla da se "was launched to promote" uklapa u postavljeno pitanje tj. zanima me kako biste to ukomponovali u dati kontekst? ;)

  -> Prema navedenom kontekstu ja bih takav izraz upotrebija u duhu engleskog izražavanja dopuštajući takve razlike. To je moja osobna prijevoditeljska kreativnost kojom san tako poucen osim ako se ne radi o nekom strogo stručnom i prijeciznom tekstu. Pozz

launched


Explanation:
During (as part of) the presentation the Brochure... has been launched...

Here we have an excellent example of "false friends". "Promocija" means presentation in this context while an English word "promotion" generally means "unapređenje".

Dakle, budući da je ponuđeni kontekst nedovoljan mogu se osloniti samo na pretpostavke da je promovinara knjiga ili izdanje... a istovremeno je predstavljen (launched) i "brochure"/"prospectus" izdavača.

Srdačno!
