Dutch term

toepassingsmogelijkheden

Dutch to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
In een tekst over facilitatievaardigheden wordt gesproken over de 'toepassingsmogelijkheden' van een bepaalde facilitatiemethode. Dit wordt nog verder uitgesplitst naar 'mogelijkheden' en 'contra-indicaties'. Ik vraag me af of er nog andere mogelijkheden zijn dan 'applicability' om dit te vertalen. NB. De term wordt als kopje gebruikt.
TIA

Bedankt Maria!
Peer comment(s):

agree Lianne van de Ven : m.n. met "explanation" - soms slechts "application" vs "contra-indications."

Dank je!
agree Tina Vonhof (X) : with 'possible applications' and with Lianne.

Thanks!
agree Jennifer Barnett : I agree with 'possible applications' with 'contraindication' (concise OED) for 'contra-indicaties'.

Thanks!
neutral jarry (X) : Fight the fog! Keep it simple. See my suggested answer. If you use "Applications" in a heading it would automatically suggest and convey that they are possible. Both 'possible' and 'possibilities' in your answer are superfluous, hence the fog!

Where is the fog?. I saw your changed response; you are on the wrong answer! / Whatever!

neutral Lianne van de Ven : "opportunity" does not seem right to me (= chance, gelegenheid, kans...?)

potential application

from the three "Ps" I would rather go for potential as opposed to possible and probable.

I forgot plausible... (Alzheimer...)

Thanks Wessel!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tina Vonhof (X) : Potential would indicate that they have not been developed or tried yet.

Correct, that is exactly how I see it and mean it. And so would plausible!

Applications (as a heading)

pure and simple.
Note from asker:
Thanks Jarry! I've tried to 'fight the fog' by using your answer for the heading and Maria's and Lianne's in various other places in the text :-)
Peer comment(s):

agree Tina Vonhof (X) : In the heading, yes.
