Portuguese term

participacao

Portuguese to English Law/Patents Law (general)
This word is the main heading of a police incident report (Portugal).

It is signed at the end by 'O Participante'
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Deborah do Carmo

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Amilcar May 3, 2005:
ormant is informant truncated, sorry
Amilcar May 3, 2005:
A detail, but ... are you sure an officer signed that section of the report as o participante? Though this is quite possible, most common usage in Pt is: "a civilian" participa algo � pol�cia. (An officer may fill the form for the ormant, who just signs.)
Non-ProZ.com Apr 26, 2005:
further details ... In this case the senior of the 2 'agentes' called to the scene typed up the 'participac�o' and signed it as 'o participante'. My first ever question! I'm impressed with the quick responses. Thank you.

(Incident) Report

This is exactly what it is, as you explained: a police incident report. Report would be enough, but you may wish to be more explicit and say "Incident Report". The "Participante" is the author of the Report (Reporting Officer). Here are two good examples:

agree Ana Rita Santiago : Parece ser isso: participante aquele que participa, que informa, que dá a notícia do crime/infração.

Obrigado, anarita. Exatamente, participante = aquele que dá parte.
agree Ana Thompson : É isso mesmo: participacão= report. Apenas uma nota: o reporting officer é o agente que recebe a participação, participante »"declarant" ou semelhante.

Obrigado, Henrique
agree Amilcar : Yes. In the US these things (what seems to be the case here) are most commonly called simply "Police reports". You need "Incident" or "Police" ocqov to capture the original pt.
