disagree  Tony M: Makes no sense at all in FR, this 'goutte' is the wrong kind of 'drop' (= 'drop of water' etc.)
29 mins

neutral  writeaway: any refs to back 100% confidence? This really is nonsensical in French. drops are definitely not gouttes in the context.
30 mins

disagree  AllegroTrans: You cannot simply translate terms like this word by word from a dictionary; in this case the result is nonsensical

disagree  FX Fraipont (X): ça ne veut strictement rien dire - et vous osez mettre un coefficient de certitude de 5?

disagree  Daryo: it's not that kind of "drops" // a famous "literal translation", makes as much sense: https://d9y2r2msyxru0.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/sty...

  -> Merci bien !

agree  Tony M: I think there's a different term used internally within the industry (which we had here some time ago), but I agree this would be the correct term for use when addressing the g/public, as here.

Reference information:
"Inside room drops include items placed in the room before the guest arrives and checks in as well as those placed in the rooms in the evening when attendees are attending receptions and dinners. Some meetings have drops every night, others on the first or final night only. Outside room drops include newspapers, show dailies and other promotional materials. They can be laid at the threshold or hung in a plastic bag on a door knob."
