English translation: ranked a (highly) respectable fifth

Hungarian term or phrase: az előkelő 5. helyet foglalja el
Bővebben: A szolgáltató az előkelő 5. helyet foglalja el versenytársai között.

Az "előkelő" nélkül sima ügy. Így viszont nemigen áll össze úgy, hogy minden kollokáció igazolhatóan stimmeljen. Leginkább a rank/prestigious (distinguished) kombinációval képzett variációkat jártam körbe, de nem sikerült meggyőző eredményt kapnom. Ötleteiteket szívesen veszem. (Leginkább BrE és semleges/formális megoldásra kellene törekednem.)

English translation:ranked a (highly) respectable fifth
Explanation:
Erre találtam példát, bár ez lehet, hogy nem elég formális megfogalmazás:

"On the key question of service, Amazon is ranked a highly respectable fifth."

http://www.just-style.com/store/product.aspx?ID=51669

vagy egy sportból vett példa:

"England ranked in at a perfectly respectable fifth place"

Köszönöm. A keresésben variálva a számokat úgy tűnik, hogy minél alacsonyabb a helyezés, annál több ízben lesz "respectable". Ez fontos jelzés lehet az előkelőség értelmezése szempontjából...

prestigious 5. place/rank...


Language variant: illustrious 5. place/rank...

Explanation:
A prestigious ötleted szerintem jó. Esetleg ez az illustrious? Vagy ez nagyon a magyarból ugrik be nekünk?

The/this service provider is taking the prestigious/illustrious 5th place among its competitors. Ennél fesztelenebb nem lehet.

The provider/ supplier holds the outstanding 5th place among its competitors.


Explanation:
Szerintem ez nem rossz otlet, "outstanding" mint kivalo, mivel elokelo angolba abszolut nem passzol ebben a szovegben. Es az egesz mondat igy nem hangzik tul munek, farasztonak vagy idegennek.

disagree  denny (X): if you are fifth, you surely do not stand out

  -> Clearly it doesn't sound right, just tried to fit it into the source text idea like most everybody else. but neither is the 5th prestigious or prominent, as other colleagues proposed. You seem to find that acceptable? kind of contradicting yourself then.

The highly distinguished service provider ranks fifth among its competitors.


Explanation:
Of course, it's not a mirror translation of the Hungarian (the word order is different), but all the information is there and it's completely natural.
