"Das Personal ist wichtiger als das Produkt."

Translation: The personnel is more important than the product.

[chris.morg1]

The use of personnel in English is strictly plural which should mean that the word "are" should be used instead of is. Words like staff are also recommended but that is also strictly plural. Thoughts?

The pronunciation of Personal is not clear.

[bin_weg]

No wonder, the word "Personal" is pronounced in English, not German.

the personnel is plural so it should say are more important

[Edward305530]

Duolingo will not be told: "personnel" is exclusively plural. To say the "personnel is" is always an error.

PONS says that is "der Produkt" not "das Produkt". Which one is true?

[DrWho100]

It's das Produkt.
I just checked PONS (https://de.pons.com/%C3%BCbersetzung?q=Produkt&l=deen) and it says nt (das) for Produkt and all combining forms ...
