French to English translations [Non-PRO]
Social Sciences - History | | French term or phrase: Histoire en marche | This is from a business plan, it's in bullet form and this description follows the product name. "l'histoire en marche, l'actualité et la liberté d'expression dans le monde."
I would have put current events for histoire en marche if I had found it on its own, but I suspect current events would better fit actualité, unless I put news instead for actualité. In that case I could perhaps just put current events for histoire en marche.
This is what I have so far, any better suggestions would be appreciated!
"History as it happens, current events, and freedom of speech around the world." |

I would use that for the the news tht is destined to be recorded as historical fact (as opposed to today's news, tomorrow's potato peeling wrapper)

Sorry, my typing is not impressive today, but I think the explanation is understandable.
I would use "history in the making, (the) news and (the) freedom of speech". I think I prefer the version with the definite articles, but it is a bit wordy and I think either style works (i.e. neither or both). |
