traduisent

English translation: explanation...(nothing missing)

French term or phrase: traduisent
Le système de santé est confronté à deux types de problèmes qui sont intimement liés et la résolution de l’un nécessite obligatoirement celle de l’autre :
Le premier type de problème est celui lié à la charge de la maladie qui se traduit par la morbidité, la mortalité et les handicaps de tous ordres.
Les indicateurs de santé des populations *traduisent* cette catégorie de problème caractérisé par les maladies cibles du PEV, les infections et autres maladies transmissibles.

It seems to me something is missing in this last sentence. Can someone clarify it for me please?

agree  katsy: ... with a preference for 'reflect' for the 2nd occurrence
1 min
agree  Tony M: I think ti feels as if something is missing, because it means that the indicators DO reflect THESE kinds of problems (but the implication is, not others...)
24 mins
neutral  B D Finch: "Reflect" rather than "symptomatic". In other words, if you know how to read the indicators you would be able to tell that this type of problem was present, even though it was not spelled out.
40 mins
agree  siragui: I see BD Finch's point about "symptomatic", but you deserve credit for dealing with "se traduit par" ("takes the form of" seems best). Don't understand why this was clear to asker and not the 2nd use.

disagree  Jennifer Levey: you've inverted the cause and the effect - the indicators do not *result in* the problem, it's the other way round
