Sheri P Oct 24, 2013:
Can you tell us what kind of company this is or what they do? IMO we need to know at least this much to be able to tell which meaning of "manifeste" might be appropriate.
Jenny Cowd (asker) Oct 24, 2013:
It's a big bundle of management documentation talking about all the various company policies and internal documents. Not much more than that I'm afraid...
Sheri P Oct 24, 2013:
@Jenny Can you give any more context?
Sheri P Oct 24, 2013:
IMO too manifest, a physical document, on board or in flight or whatever the case may be
writeaway Oct 24, 2013:
Document imo en tant qu’enregistrement référencés dans ce document.

manifest

Does this involve transport of some sort? We don't have enough context to be sure, but I'm going to throw out a guess and say this refers to "manifests," physical documents that provide details on the cargo, passengers, etc. of a ship, plane, train, etc.

Thank you, Verginia!
agree rkillings : Most likely a use of the word in its current IT/software meaning; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest_file. Not a physical document so much as a metadata container.

Thanks -- wasn't aware of this meaning of 'manifest'. More context would be helpful here.

manifesto

It's a rather odd choice of word in a business rather than a political context, and it presumably means a policy statement as Sangro has suggested, but I think we should respect what the author wrote.

Peer comment(s):
neutral rkillings : Doesn't really match the definition of the 'manifesto' meaning of the FR noun (or the EN word for that matter).
