"Ich war übermüdet, und habe eigentlich den ersten Eintrag von Andreas nicht gesehen."

I do understand. Can happen to all of us. Actually, I guess I was more puzzled why Steffen didn't say anything, considering I once or twice waited a full day on someone else to post an answer before I did and got their blessing. But whatever now :)

I also ask you to understand the other "side" here: There are a lot of askers who don't give feedback or leave a question open for months (or years, no joke). Not too long ago, another asker closed a question by granting one lousy point to someone without even some explanation why and did not provide any feedback to a discussion that had exceeded 20 entries, as far as I can remember.

Thus, thank you very much for your feedback! So, source code entries only? Well, that may narrow the search. Just hope you found which code block the Z refers to. Among thousands of code lines, that can be a pain :)

Best wishes

Macht nichts, du hast ihn ja nicht als einziger überlesen. Ich hätte dem Beitrag eine Überschrift geben sollen; wer beruflich viel liest, liest sonst leicht darüber hinweg. Danke für die nette Antwort!

<p>"Just a thought: Actually, you may both be wrong. If Z is part of a word, such as "zuschlag(en)" or something else, it may refer to the letter S (surcharge) in English or the letter C or whatever."</p><p>Auch ein gutter Beitrag. Die Codes im Quelltext waren aber meistens englische Abkürzungen. Vielen Dank.</p>

Ich war übermüdet, und habe eigentlich den ersten Eintrag von Andreas nicht gesehen. Natürlich trifft das es genau -- und es tut mir wirklich Leid, dadurch Ärgernis erregt zu haben. Weil aber Steffen noch die einzige solche Antwort vorgeschlagen hat, werde ich diese als die hilfreichste wählen.

"which is actually better than nothing."

Agree...but what have we come to :)

Like I said, can be right or may be wrong. Just think about: If the translator doesn't know what Z refers to, how should the employee overseas?

... did provide some (fragmentary) context in this discussion, which is actually better than nothing.

"Context
Here is the segment that immediately precedes the one with "drauf gezettet":
"Ist der Rückflugpreis günstiger geworden, ist ebenfalls eine Anpassung per ZZ erforderlich.""

Just a thought: Actually, you may both be wrong. If Z is part of a word, such as "zuschlag(en)" or something else, it may refer to the letter S (surcharge) in English or the letter C or whatever.

Otherwise, the asker should have posted it in GER<>GER if he just wants an explanation. But without seeing the text, none of us can determine what is meant by Z.

Just thought I add it - not that some ENS who reads the document goes all crazy not finding what this refers to.

Well, I didn't want to SCREAM. Didn't want to impose.

06:14 Sep 25, 2014 

Guess because you didn't have a heading in bold face, Andreas...

05:59 Sep 25, 2014 

Hi, my post in this discussion – which was the first one – wasn't that of any help to you? You didn't even mention it.

04:57 Sep 25, 2014 

<p>Here is the segment that immediately precedes the one with "drauf gezettet":</p><blockquote>"Ist der Rückflugpreis günstiger geworden, ist ebenfalls eine Anpassung per ZZ erforderlich."</blockquote><p>So I think Steffen must be correct. It must be a work step involving the ZZ code!</p><p>As for the English equivalent, I guess we'd say something like "Z'd". The apostrophe makes me cringe, but that's how we do it. For example ZZ is two "Z's".</p><p>Steffen, if you submit "Letter Z" or similar as an answer, I'll accept it. Thank you!</p>

You haven't really explained the context - what is "drauf" in the first line? Is this a computer system? Could it mean "set to Z"?

There's also the Dutch word "zetten":

Maybe someone just left it half-untranslated :)

19:26 Sep 24, 2014 

This looks very much like in-house jargon to me, perhaps describing a work step involving the letter Z in some or another way.

Mein Vorschlag: nach einem Wort in dem Kontext suchen (in der Firma, in dem Umbuchungsprogramm o. Ä.), das mit "Z" beginnt (so wie der einzelne Buchstabe ausgesprochen wird, also "Zett" – davon abgeleitet dann "zetten"). Das Wort ist (meine Vermutung) eine Erfindung innerhalb des Teams, damit das eigentlich gemeinte Wort nicht ausgesprochen werden muss, weil es zu lang und umständlich ist.
