Discussion

Oliver Simões Aug 3, 2019:
Roster vs. List Although "list" is more common, "roster" is perfectly acceptable in this context (despite the thumbs-down to my answer). If not, "roster"" is even more desirable because it's less common just like "relação" is (in comparison with "lista"). I could argue that the author's intent was not to use a common word; otherwise, he/she would have said "lista" in the source-text! The Merriam-Webster defines "roster" as "an itemized list". It doesn't say what this list consists of. Therefore, it could be a roster of names, household items, or fried brain cells (or whatever one wishes). A language is made up by the sum of its users. Besides the example given in my answer (which is closely related to this context), let me point this out: there are plenty of references to "a roster of items" on the Web. Could all these users be wrong? I don't think so.

"So that I could get a jump on buying the models which are best suited for the game, would I be able to bother any of you for a roster of the models I'd need to buy?" - https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1577893/ship-minis
Peer comment(s):
neutral Mark Robertson : 1. This meaning is limited to EN-US. Common meaning: a list of individuals or groups, usually for an organization of some kind such as military officers and enlisted personnel enrolled in a particular unit; a muster roll; a sports team. 2. Not wrong..

It's not wrong, though. The website I quoted from is US-based. And the Merriam-Webster says it's an "itemized list".
disagree ulissescarvalho : Not the best choice in this context
14 hrs
It's an acceptable choice. Didn't you read definition #2 in the Merriam-Webster?
disagree Richard Purdom : Would confuse any native reader. Translation should enlighten the reader, not leave them grasping for a dictionary because of some obscure use.

Indeed. Especially if the native speaker ignores the source of reference. The MW is very clear.

1st definition of "Catalog" in Oxford American is = a list of items
Peer comment(s):
disagree Mark Robertson : 1. Catalog is incorrect. The relação is included in an instruction manual. A catalog/catalogue would be a separate document with a different function. 2. Pois.
