The translation is fine. I removed the claim to 11, 000 employees until secondary confirmation. That may be what the company website says, but I'm not entirely sure what metrics they're using to arrive at that number. 11,000 seems excessive. There seems to be much more on the German version. <s>Is there more text somewhere that you'd like to add to the article? </s> I see now where the proposed text is. Please add it here to the talk page for us to consider. When its ready, change the "answered" response in the request edit template from "yes" to "no" to reactivate your request.

I just edited this article by delivering a translation of the German article. As an employee of Rittal I sure have a conflict of interest, but I wasn't aware that a translation is seen as such, sorry! It would be nice if someone could have a look at my translation (https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Rittal&oldid=812542531) and if it is okay publish it. Thanks and sorry again, --Manuel Funk (talk) 13:34, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- The translation is fine. I removed the claim to 11, 000 employees until secondary confirmation. That may be what the company website says, but I'm not entirely sure what metrics they're using to arrive at that number. 11,000 seems excessive. There seems to be much more on the German version.
Is there more text somewhere that you'd like to add to the article?I see now where the proposed text is. Please add it here to the talk page for us to consider. When its ready, change the "answered" response in the request edit template from "yes" to "no" to reactivate your request. Danke schön Spintendo ᔦᔭ 04:06, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
