That's not very good Norwegian, is it? :)
I think "gjøre stas på" must be considered an idiom, and automatic translation services will always have problems with that. I'm fluent in both Norwegian and English, and I wouldn't know how to translate that expression.
- eitland 5y agogjere/gjøre are equal but I edited the sentence to plural after checking a screenshot and forgot to remove "en". As for how to translate it, I'd say almost anything would better.

More specifically, now that I've left the office (and cannot work on the train anyways because the Windows activated "Boil my laptop" once too many on my way out of the office it seems) I'd suggest that something like: - celebrating the achievements of some customers - throwing a party for some customers or something to that effect
- thatwasunusual 5y agoMy point is that it's hard to identify - and translate - idioms like these. One of my favorites is the English idiom "make one's hair stand on end", which can be translated (directly) as "fikk ens hår til å stå opp", but we Norwegians prefers "gåsehud" (literally "goose skin") or "fikk hårene til å reise seg" (literally "made the hairs rise") instead. Add to the problem if the scared or excited entity in question is actually called "One." I rest my case.
