Italian to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion | | Italian term or phrase: codice culturale | Anybody got any nice ideas for how to translate "codice culturale" here? They are talking about a school where people learn to become professional tailors (Scuola Superiore di Sartoria):
"Il corso prevede una parte teorica quadriennale e un tirocinio, che trasformano in un preciso **codice culturale** le 220 fasi di lavorazione necessarie per realizzare un capo X."
Thanks! |

I would translate the whole thing, "che trasformano in un preciso codice culturale" simply as "codify".

I suppose you could say "precisely codify" if you wanted to stay closer to the Italian. |

3 hrs confidence: set of professional practices
Explanation:
I don't think you can translate "culturale" literally in this context. It refers to the know-how needed to work as a tailor.
