George Hopkins Dec 10, 2008:
A bit off Should be 'off-putting' of course.
George Hopkins Dec 10, 2008:
Ansvarig The habit of putting 'ansvarig' at the end of a word is a bit 'offputting' for a translator. It gives a vague idea of what is implied but nothing definite. 'Program responsible' is possibly Swenglish.

program director

Wikipedia suggests under Program Director:
"In radio or television, a program director is the person who develops or selects some or all of the content that will be broadcast."
I would like to extend that to include festival programs etc.

Ja...eller hur?!! ;)
Peer comment(s):

disagree George Hopkins : Program administrator, manager, supervisor, superintendent, organizer, director; but never 'program responsible'.

Det är en myndig person som i förväg tar på sig juridiskt ansvar för programmets. Jämför "ansvarig utgivare"! Det kan, men behöver inte, vara den person som fattade beslut(en)! Alla dina förslag är således fel!
disagree Hanne Rask Sonderborg : I agree with George.

disagree Anna Herbst : Din referens är inte helt tillförlitlig, Sven. Vad har Rune Rasmussen för lingvistiska meriter? Jag håller helt och hållet med George.

disagree Michele Fauble : 'Responsible' is an adjective. 'The person responsible for programming', but not 'the program responsible'.

A person can be a manager or a director, but not 'a responsible'. /Meaning aside, 'program responsible' is not English, 'responsible for programming', but not 'program responsible'.
