Dear all,

I have a problem formulating the following centence:

"As part of stregthning of our competitive position, ...," the central office stated.

This ist what the central office said. But it should be "the central office generally stated". I have no idea how to express it correctly.

If you have some proposals I would be happy.

Natalia09 But it should be "the central office generally stated" I don't know why you believe that the word 'generally' should be added. It makes no sense to me. I think you'll need to explain this in greater detail before we can help.

Because this is a translation and I cannot change the source.

Did the source have "generally"?

No, it has not "generally" it has literally "bulky".

Perhaps the document they put this in was bulky - that is, very thick.

No, this is not the case. This is a comment.
