How to use 'one-stop'?
Hello everybody!
I hope I am in the right group for this question. I couldn't find any other group that looked right on the server I am using, but if I messed it up please let me know - nicely. :-)
I am translating a text from Germany to English and stuck with one expression. The German expression is "aus einer Hand" which literally means "from one hand" or "out of one hand". It is used to decribe the potention of a company to offer all (required) services from a single source (usually themselves). Put a little bluntly you could say, "We offer everything you need (for this)!"
My dictionary "translates" this expression as "one-stop". But I can't find an expample sentence, so I have no idea whether I need a prepostion to use this or how to use it at all. I could write "We offer everything one-stop." But ist that correct (and good) English?
Thanks for any help!
Regards
Chris

Better drop the "one-stop" phrase then. In English that implies a customer entering and leaving a store.
"From drawing board to delivery" is
