Swedish term or phrase: Företagsintern
Som i "Företagsintern ombokning", en anläggning ska omföras inom företaget. Jag kan inte hitta något bra uttryck, intra-company - company internal - inget låter bra.

TIA,
Görel

Thanks for all suggestions! Since the space is limited, I'll go for this alternative, even though it has a slight "clinical" feeling (at least for me as a Swede). - And inter is between, and not within, you're absoutely right, Christine.

Thanks a lot, Mats!

within the company


Explanation:
I would simply write 'within the company'

- or '... an internal reverse entry to be carried out within the company'

English doesn't always have those elegant Scandinavian 'telescope words'!

It tends towards tautology, but so does the source text...
Then you could perhaps try to make it sound a bit smarter at the proofing stage, depending on the surrounding text.

agree  Peter Linton (X): Given the requirement for punchiness, I would go for just "internal". In the context, that implies it is within the company.

Explanation:
Ombokning brukar vara recredit/redebit men jag vet inte om det passar till en anläggning? Annars föreslår FARs Engleksa Ordbok inter-company.

neutral  Christine Andersen: Keep to intra-company or internal. Inter-company means between companies, i.e. involving another company, which is not the case here.

agree  Peter Linton (X): The closest translation, worth considering even though it is a bit short of punch.
