David I too am sorry that your measured advice arrived too late to help Jonathan in this case. Very sensible of you to post it anyway.

David Moore (X) Oct 27, 2019:

Jonathan, I'm not sure this is a very good (or particularly clever-clever) answer to the question, so I therefore line up with Steffen and Björn.
It may be that they are joint managers of the theatre, as was the case with the opera house in Wuppertal some years ago for one simple reason: one of them is (was) responsible for the musical theatre (opera, musical, operetta), while the other is (was) responsible for non-music theatre (stage plays). Sorry if this is too late to help you in this case, but I thought it would be sensible to post it.
They were entitled "Opernintendant" and "Schauspielintendant" respectively.

If the term "joint directors" appears in your translation, it should not have a hyphen.

Björn Vrooman Oct 25, 2019:

Agree with Steffen I think it's even worse because it's not a witty reply to the question. Maybe "Doppelt hält besser - in jeder Konstellation."

Also agree with Lancashireman. The suggested translation for the question might be understood, but it sounds awfully close to a Q about what it is like to live as a conjoined twin.

If you can shift the focus of the sentence, a phrase such as double or twice the enthusiasm/motivation/expertise etc. may work. In a different context:
"Partner Workouts: Work out with a partner for double the motivation and twice the impact"

That's what ... ... I'd call a non-answer on the part of the directors ;-)
