dors et déjà

English translation: already

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:d'ores et déjà
English translation:already

French term or phrase: dors et déjà
Context:

Malgré tous les efforts d’harmonisation que nous pourrions mener, il faut dors et déjà signaler que les risque de divergences demeureront.

I'm thinking that you just drop this out of the sentence when you translate it. I came up with something like this:

Despite all the harmonization efforts that we could make, we must note that the risk of divergences will remain.

Is there a translation for this expression? and does it absolutely have to be in the sentence?

Ok. Thank you very much. The word was definitely mispelled. Then, the word was extra and not needed in the english translation. Thank you all for helping me realize that it was mispelled and then an extra word that we wouldn't add.

from the outset


Explanation:
I like your translation and no, it doesn't have to be in the sentence. I agree with Lien about the meaning (in advance). If you want to include it, you could say something like:

Despite our best efforts to harmonize the situation, you should be told (or warned) from the outset that there are some risk of divergences.

There's no way that "already" would work here. What are you going to say "we already have to say???". That's just blind application of the dictionary.

Explanation:
Just a comment on the meaning and rome played by the term here. The function of this expression in the sentence given is essentially for emphasis. It is often used in that way. Depending on how much empahsis is required will help you detemrine whether or not it is needed in your rendering, or whether simply using a passive voice could bring about the dseired effect.

Another quick word, that this phrase is common and is to be found in any ordinary dictionary.
