Hey,
'get a double from a friend', 'duplicate from a friend', 'get the same
from a friend'... I prefer 'get the same from a friend', which is
straightforward, simple and not Dolly related. Nonetheless, in other
contexts 'clone' may be easier to translate like in 'clone and upgrade'
or 'clone and install' (examples from liveusb-creator). Only 'duplicate'
seems to be as easy, because it is both a verb and a noun. So,
'duplicate' could be fine also for the Usb stick and the advert.
Finally, reproduce/reproduction would also do the job, non? And are easy
to translate... what do you think?
Cheers,
Ame
