Italian to English translations [PRO]
Sports / Fitness / Recreation / chamber of commerce certificate | | Italian term or phrase: attrezzature sportive e per pratiche sportive | | The terms are included in the usual succinct list of products manufactured appearing under the heading "Corporate Purpose". My take is to render it as "sports equipment and for sports practice" but I am assailed by the atroce dubbio. Perhaps "sporting equipment and equipment for sports practice". The manufacturer includes this among much more core business products. Grateful for suggestions on how to improve this. |

| | equipment for sports and sports activities | Explanation:
Hi Mary. The lawyer who wrote this is just trying to be all inclusive. Just when exactly attrezzautre sportive does not include all attrezzature per pratiche sportive, I have absolutely no idea, but the same can be said for equipment for sports and equipment for sports activities, hence the post. The main reason is because lawyers were word paid by the word for centuries, and now that they aren't they just blindly follow this ridiculous traditional style of redundant writing, where we are the victims of their herd behaviour. |

Asker: I fear my note to you got lost in cyberspace - just to say that I think your words and your explanation are right - and that I see examples of superficial cut and paste frequently in the legal documents I translate. Keep on with the sharing!
