English term

Feature Focus

English to Arabic Other Environment & Ecology
I've come across the term Feature Focus (as in "There are examples in this Feature Focus...") being translated as Tahqeeq Ikhbaari, which I find odd. To me 'feature focus' is the focus of the feature; i.e. something like mihwarr al-maqaala ar-ra-eesiyyah (al-wasfiyyah).
Your input and ideas are appreciated.

Dear Fuad et al,

I fully agree; it must be the �focus of the feature� or possibly a �focused feature�.

MElHelw asks me to provide the context where I came across this term. Fair enough.

If you Google the term between quotation marks, you�ll get THOUSANDS of hits. It�s some kind of a heading; like Op-ed, Commentary, Editorial, etc. � thus, you�ll get a �Feature Focus� on subject X or Y. What I still don�t understand is why it would be translated as tahqeeq ikhbaari!!

It�s been a million years since I was giving my little input for questions posted by others, and I seem 2 B quite rusty in tackling with post/add/answer matters.

So please forgive any clumsiness in my posting and thanks 2 U all.

Btw, can I give 4 points to each and every �answerer�?? I�d love to. I mean it.

Best.

Ghassan

Apart from finding an Arabic name for it, what is it? Is "Feature Focus" the title of a column in a newspaper or other publication? If so, what does the name signify? If it is the "focus of the feature," then what is the feature?
