A young, dynamic company, a partner on six continents, Explanation: First of all, there are 7 continents in the world, (Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica) so the definite article must go in English (i.e., on six continents) Strasbough (one "s" in French) A young, dynamic company, a partner on six continents, one with a presence in every major city, [and its head office?] on the outskirts of Strassburg covering 1200 square metres on a 50-are/50-acre? site. I would not literally translate "aux portes de" (at the gates of Strassburg) but you could if you wanted to. I'm also not sure if the "are" isn't a typo for "acre," but your reference documentation may tell you. An acre = 4047 sq. metres, and an are = 100 square metres. Otherwise, send a translator's note to be sure. |
