Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy | | English term or phrase: A sufficient number of international reply coupons(at least five). | | Non... |
| | | عدد كافٍ من قسـيمات الإجابات الدولية، خمس على الأقلّ | Explanation:
That is probably the most literal rendition, but not necessarily the best. Other possible phrasings:
عدد كافٍ من قسـيمات الإجابات الدولية، مالا يقل عن خمس
ما لا يقلُّ عن خمسٍ من قسـيمات الإجابات الدولية
The last one is my favorite.
Coupons are also called كوبونات
Knowing what this application form is about and what coupons are indicated may help in rendering this differently, perhaps more effectively. The element I am somewhat concerned about is the adjective “international,” which could mean a number of things.

Note: I have replaced the parentheses with a coma because parentheses tend to appear misplaced in HTML. I am sure you can correct that in your own file format.
