Bonjour a tout le monde,
je sais qu'il y a deja des questions similaires, mais je dois traduire le texte suivant:
Nous conférons à Monsieur X le grade légal de
**INGENIEUR CIVIL mechanicien et eletricien***
Après avoir lu les reponses suivantes: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/236180
je ne sais pas comment traduire "engénieur civil".
Is "civil engineer" really NOT the same as "ingénieur civil"? As the title is all-important here, this note about Belgian degrees and Belgian "civil engineering" being different from its English "translation" got me quite confused. I surely don't want to get it wrong!! Anyone agrees that there is indeed a difference?
Sorry I wrote this half in French half in English.

keep the French + electro-mechanical civil engineer
you are dealing with a Belgian degree. They aren't always equivalent to other countries, including Italy, France, UK, US etc. The actual term you are need to translate is Ingénieur Civil Mécanicien et Electricien. (misspelled n your text). You can't separate it into parts.
