English to Portuguese translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / slash (in the especific context)
English term or phrase: Slash/Cancel; Auto-Slash; DC-Slash (warehouse)
The term 'slash' appears in several strings, related to 'shipment status' of an order.

samples of strings showing shipments status options are: 1.Being Processed; 2.Shipped; 3.Slash

or "DC-Slash (warehouse)", where DC means Distribuition Center; or "SLASH/CANCEL"


Content is related to an e-Book store - so far PM is unable to help with more context.

De alguma maneira, não me parece no contexto de 'redução, corte de preços'.

Obrigada desde já!

Explanation:
In these contexts I believe the term "slash" refers to the "/" character, which in this part of Brazil is referred to as "barra". Thus, "dc/(warehouse)" would mean "dc/name of warehouse", which suggests that the product status is "delivered to that warehouse". Without more context, I´m not sure exactly how to interpret the others. It´s a complicated way to express the "/" character, when the character itself is part of the explanation (as in "slash/cancel".

Correction: in PT-BR the third term should be "dc-barra (depósito)"

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, Martin, I am also puzzled (I guess PM as well ;). As I get the strings in Passolo, could be our 'barra', but when I get 'Auto-slash" in the same ID group of strings I lose my confidence. strange...
