C.A.
..5 produits totalisant 200 ME+ de CA
- Part du CA en partenariat passant de 30% (’05) à 10% (’08)
Does anyone know what CA stands for in this context? Something to do with sales/profits from what I can tell.
I'm assuming ME means "millions d'euros".
thanks!

Non-PRO (3): writeaway, Sandra Petch, Julie Barber
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

sales revenue (US), sales turnover (or just turnover) (UK)
It means the total revenue coming from sales.
If I am translating into British English, I use "turnover" or "sales turnover". In the US, it may be revenue, sales revenue, or just sales.

in the UK, whether or not you put 'sales' in front of turnover will depend on the context. The word is understood to mean 'chiffre d'affaires' in many situations, but will need to be qualified if there is a risk of confusion with 'staff turnover' (the rate at which people leave/join the orgnisation)
