toleration
The tolerating or putting up with something that one actually considers negative or undesirable.
Die Duldung von Lärm in der Nacht ist in diesem Wohnhaus sehr gering.
The toleration of noise at night is very low in this apartment building.
'Die Duldung' (toleration/tolerated stay) is the noun related to the verb 'dulden' (to tolerate). When you tolerate something unwanted, you are practicing 'Duldung' (toleration).
Er musste den Lärm seiner Nachbarn dulden.
He had to tolerate the noise from his neighbors.
The meaning in the context of immigration law is a specific term from administrative language. In everyday life, you are more likely to encounter the general meaning 'Tolerierung' (toleration).
Für den Antrag muss er sein Dokument über die Duldung vorlegen.
For the application, he has to present his document about the tolerated stay.
You can recognize the legal meaning from surrounding words such as 'Abschiebung' (deportation), 'Ausländerbehörde' (immigration authority), 'Aufenthalt' (residence/stay), or 'Asyl' (asylum). Without this context, the general meaning is usually intended.
Die Ausländerbehörde hat seine Duldung um weitere sechs Monate verlängert.
The immigration authority extended his tolerated stay by another six months.
In the legal sense, a 'Duldung' (tolerated stay) is not a legal residence title and not permission to live in Germany. It merely certifies that deportation is temporarily not possible for certain reasons.
Obwohl er eine Duldung hat, ist sein Aufenthaltsstatus weiterhin unsicher.
Although he has a tolerated stay, his residence status remains uncertain.
ban / prohibition
'das Verbot' and 'die Duldung' express a contrast, but not the contrast between 'forbidden' and 'officially allowed'. A 'Verbot' means: a rule clearly says that something is not allowed. 'Duldung' means: you may not approve of something, but you do nothing about it or allow it temporarily. That is why 'Duldung' is not a real permission. The difference is important: with a 'Verbot', something is actively prohibited; with 'Duldung', it is tolerated.
Die Duldung der kleinen Fehler führte später zu größeren Problemen.
Tolerating the small mistakes later led to bigger problems.
