English term

European Console - Optional

English to Norwegian Tech/Engineering Computers: Software Console
Hello,
I need help with this title in Norwegian.
It's a special console for the European market and it's just an option for the customers, I hope this explains the strange title ;-)
The Norwegian word for "Console" is "konsollen".
I would only need a translation of European and Optional.
As I don't speak Norwegian, please answer in English.
Thanks!

europeisk konsoll - ekstrautstyr

Please note that "konsollen" corresponds to "the console" in English, and here I think only "konsoll" ("a console") should be used.

In cases like this, I recommend the translation "ekstrautstyr" for "optional". "Ekstrautstyr" means literally "optional equipment". This term has also been chosen in a similar discussion on proz (se ref).

europeisk kontrollpanel - valgfritt

Console can be translated in different ways, 'kontrollpanel' covers more of them than 'konsoll' ('konsollen' is a deviated form). 'Optional' can also mean different things. Is it really an option or does it imply extra costs etc.
Note from asker:
"Konsoll" is the name of the product, can we also leave it, or does it have to be Europeisk "Konsollen" - Valgfritt?

Konsollen - europeisk, ekstrautstyr

If "Konsollen" is the name of the product, it has to be written in this way!
