- German
konstruieren: to construct/design
schaffen: to create
kreieren: to create (things that are related to art as well as cooking)
erzeugen: to generate/constitute (rarely to manufacture)
anfertigen: to produce/create/make sth. to specifically fit a requirement (for example if you have specific clothing tailored or a car exclusively altered to suit your personal needs/taset)
erstellen: the closest translation would be to issue/make (maybe also "to draw up) (files, documents, a schedule, a plan)
erschaffen: basically like "schaffen" but a little less "religious sounding", thus commonly used with art as well
entwerfen: to design (i.e. draw up a blueprint or something similarly complex that is used to build/construct)
