[details=“English Translation”]We should divide the work.
[/details]
Does “verteilen” work here?
That would be more like “distribute”.
I guess it would work, because the effect is not very different.
But technically you first need to divide the work into parts before you can distribute the parts.
So, if the work already has parts that you just need to distribute - or assign to someone - then I think “verteilen” works.
