SV: Brainstorms on title for How People use Web page

 
Hi All
As a native Danish speaker it's not hard to understand the titel "Ways People Browse" but the translated title might be a bit long and complicated.
Cheers
Helle

Thanks, Cliff, good to know.

Cliff said: Is the problem that it's hard for people whose native language isn't English (or perhaps American English) to understand?

Yes, it "sounds wrong" to some people. Also, translate-ability was part of the issue.
Since we came up with it on a recent teleconference, we wanted to "sleep on it", that is, take a little time to think more about how it will work in different contexts.
If we use it, we might provide some additional guidance to translators on the meaning and tips for translation.
