DAT

English translation: Core competence

15:43 Feb 12, 2009
French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
French term or phrase: DAT
So, if DAS (Domaines d’Activités Stratégiques) means SBA (strategic business area) and my client gave me the definition of DAT as Domaine d'activité technique (capacité à réaliser des fonctions complétes), I would obviously translate it as technical business area (TBA)...alas, this doesn't seem to be clear. Anyone know?

Explanation:
Following your context note, I have a feeling that we might - I really am not certain - be talking about thses activities becoming part of their main line of business and the term 'core competence' would then be appropriate. But it will depend on your overall context. Hope this helps.

Explanation:
domaine d’activités technique
Ces fonds ne pourront être affectés que lorsque les crédits relatifs aux accords biennaux de collaboration (6 millions de dollars) auront été répartis par domaine d’activités technique et qu’une vue d’ensemble de l’investissement dans les domaines prioritaires aura été obtenue

technical Area of Work
These funds cannot be earmarked until the BCA funds (US $6 million) have been distributed by technical Area of Work and a full overview of investment in priority areas has been obtained
