Edit it! Explanation: Haven't got time to attack this, but just wanted to say I think you should remember your target audience and prune away the unecessary from the original to produce a piece which reads more like English. Remember, you are really doing your job when you get over the same basic idea without the target reader realising they are reading a translation. Being too faithful to the original can often be a mere distraction. ---------------------------------------------------------------- PS IN CASE ANYONE THINKS THIS IS AN ABUSE OF KUDOZ - MAY I REQUEST THEM TO SIMPLY IGNORE THIS. ANYONE WHO HAS THE TIME AND "GANES" TO HELP TIM, PLEASE CONTACT HIM DIRECTLY BY E-MAIL. YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD MODERATOR. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs 41 mins (2005-01-24 21:15:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- PS I\'d probably go for something like this: ***That Sergio Gracia Barbero, (13/03/1976, Barcelona. I.D. #43.440.273), completed a course of studies at this University in September 2001 and was awarded a Diploma in Physiotherapy for which he paid the issuing fee on 28/09/2001. Upon his request, I duly issue this provisional certificate, which will stand for the diploma in all circumstances until the authentic document is issued. |
