Global Positioning System“ (GPS) hat schneller die klassische Navigation unterwandert, als die größten Pessimisten der Marine dies Ende der 90er-Jahre vorhergesagt haben. Seine nachgeborenen Vettern GLONASS (Russische Föderation), GALILEO (EU) und Beidou (China) können sich schon in ein gemachtes Nest setzen

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Lancashireman

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.

Lancashireman Oct 23, 2020:
To the spurned suitors I think this Q may be a candidate for Non-Pro.
Lancashireman Oct 19, 2020:
"The asker has declined this answer" x 4 Rather poor site etiquette.
Veronika Neuhold Oct 8, 2020:
successors?

you could also go with "successors"

as in "successor technologies"
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : They're neither. GLONASS is not an offshoot of GPS as far as I can see, and GPS hasn't been replaced by other technology.

younger

Declined
I think a literal translation works fine.
Peer comment(s):

agree Sarah Maidstone : Depending on overall tone of the original texts, possibly even "younger cousins" to retain the sense that these newer solutions are in some way related to GPS without being direct descendants.

Yes, that's what I was suggesting. Thanks!

Deutsch term (edited): nachgeborene Vetter

after-born / 'after-spawned' cousins

Declined
The question is wrongly formulated. The source text refers to 'Seine nachgeborenen Vettern', so it depends how the whole phrase is being translated e.g. as successors - see discussion entry - or posterity.

the naval link suggests a metaphor like 'after-spawned' might also work and be apt, appropriate and apposite.
Peer comment(s):

agree Lancashireman : with spawn or afterbirth https://mcfarlane.com/toys/nightmare-spawn/

Thanks, Andrew. Tadpole-like 'spawning' had been my journalistic favourite, besides which the asker needs to be wary of a boycott of any 'after-born' queries he deigns to post.

younger siblings

Declined
Compared with its 'older' siblings, GPS and GLONASS, that have initially emerged in the late 1970s, ....the GALILEO system is a relatively new system ...

neutral philgoddard : The question is "nachgeborenen", and I've already said "younger". If you choose to translate "Vetter" as "sibling" that's up to you, but I've already answered the question.
