Douglas Bissell: I tell my students to try and steer away from weak verbs such as 'make' plus nouns and try to stick with active verbs, but this does not mean I think your suggestion is incorrect as a translation, in any way

2 mins

-> Yes, and I'm not your student, anyway.

agree

Muriel Vasconcellos: It's a nice solution; not sure how it would work in the context because it doesn't say what the industry is transitioning from, but I definitely prefer 'transition'. (I don't agree with Douglas; I'm not a fan of "rules"! Every context is different.)

-> Thank you very much, Muriel.

agree

Mario Freitas:

-> Muita obrigada, Mario.

agree

Oliver Simões: In my opinion, it's more faithful to the source-text, which does have a "weak" verb by the way!

16 hrs

-> Muita obrigada, Oliveira.,

agree

Yuriy Vilner (X): I'd use this one. Thanks to Douglas for his input also.
