English to Arabic translations [PRO]
History | | English term or phrase: impromptu organisation | | The evacuation of British troops from Dunkirk, though a triumph of impromptu organisation, could not hide the seriousness of the military situation, and for months, people in England lived with the fear of invasion. |
| | | Tanthiim mubtakker | Explanation:
In that context, the suitable equivalent term would be "expedient organisation" = tanthiim mubtakker = تنظيم مبتتكر
The term "expedient" (or as rendered in "US military English" as "field expedient") implies a temporary, ad hoc and pragmatic solution usually applicable only to that partlcular event.
Hope this helps.
Khair, in shaa' Allah.
