Norwegian term or phrase: med andre ord
How best to translate med andre ord in the following context? Thanks!

Noen selskaper respekterer med andre ord betalingsformidlingsforbudet. Dette kan delvis være for å øke sine egne muligheter for å få lisens i de landene som liberaliserer sitt spillmarked.

English translation:in other words
Explanation:
'med andre ord' reflects back on respekterer, not betalingsformidlingsforbudet - so it's hardly a pro question. The sentence could have been phrased better, and it's hard to tell what the other words (than respekterer) were - but poor writing is not exactly rare.

Asker: Thanks Per - I realize ,,in other words,, is the standard translation but this context made me think the author was using it with a less common meaning - until I changed the word order!
