"Vorsprung durch Kooperation" Explanation: I know this is not exactly a translation into English, but following on from the famous Audi adverts ("Vorsprung durch Technik"), and given the similarity between "Kooperation" and "Cooperation", it would be instantly understood by any English speaker - particularly also given the similar fields (automotive, technology). |

51 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1Join the winners, join forces! Explanation: or "Join the winners by joining forces!" (Assuming "join forces" fits your context for the "cooperation" half of the sentence.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 Stunde (2012-07-23 12:56:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Jan, I think - looking at your explanation of "cooperation" - that "by joining forces" (or even "by joining forces effectively" should fit your context. Regarding the first half of the sentence - you're right, the original puts you ahead of the other winners, whereas my version only lets you "join" them.... but whichever option you choose, I do think an Überschrift should be as short and snappy as possible! |

3 hrs confidence:
Safeguard your competitive edge... Explanation: Another option, particularly in light of the fact that there is, as you say, an edge to protect. 'Reinforce' and 'cement' also spring to mind. As for the second part of the sentence, something involving 'streamlining' maybe. |

8 hrs confidence:
Get a headstart..... Explanation: This is almost standard advertising lingo when talking about 'Vorsprung'. Another is 'Get the inside track'. ('Get' is the preferred word, instead of 'secure', 'grab', 'catch' etc.) "Take the inside track" is an option |
