TR; Tagesreportage (daily report)
3f3a; 3 questions 3 answers
DpA; deutsche Presse Agentur (german press agency)
Sid; sport informations Dienst (sport infirmation service)
AP; associated press (probably best known publically)
DJV; deutscher Journalisten Verband (german journalism association

VDZ/MVFP; Verband deutscher Zeitschriftenverleger (association of german magazine publisher) it was turned into the later, media association fo the free press

VDL; Verband deutscher Lokalzeitungen (association of german local newspaper)
DJ; data journalism
AF; area fill (its a short anecdote or similar to fill a small space in print media)

I won't go into the acronyms that nearly every newspaper has. Close to every local newspaper has its own acronym.

I know the first two you used, but the rest are foreign to me. How about CST? LD? LDC?

CAT = computer aided translation

Contrary to what many people believe, it's a software that cuts texts into sizeable chunks, mostly sentences or parts, and keeps those in store once they have been translated and approved. Whenever a new text needs to be translated that uses similar or identical sentences, the software will suggest the previous translations. It speeds up the process.

It's not computerized translation, which is mostly very hard to read and sometimes plain wrong.

[AI Opinion]

In my field, some lesser-known acronyms include MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), LMS (Learning Management System), and L&D (Learning and Development). These terms often arise in discussions about educational strategies and career development. Whether exploring digital learning platforms or structuring professional growth, understanding these acronyms helps frame the conversation around innovative education methods and job market evolution. Always consider how these concepts can be applied to your specific context to enhance your learning or career progression.
