Spanish term or phrase: oriente (ver, please)
Es el nombre de una asignatura:

Relaciones con África, Oriente y Oceanía

El tema es que me queda "East" solo: Relations with Africa, ???, and Oceania.

Estaba pensando en agregar civilizatins, pero no me convence:

Relations with African, Eastern, and Oceanian civilizations.

Gracias por las sugerencias.

agree  Anton Baer: '_The_ Orient'. The closest to the original...

agree  Taña Dalglish: I totally agree "The Orient", as opposed to Near East or Middle East as China and Japan are not Middle East, etc. "Far East" is another suggestion.

Asia


Explanation:
¡Hola Anita!

Sólo se me ocurre que se refiera a Asia, sea el Oriente Cercano, Medio o Lejano - todos formas parte de Asia, ¿no?

Suerte y :O) :O)

Por supuesto que la observación es etnocéntrica...visto desde Argentina, Europa también entra. De hecho podría entrar todavía la consideración de "Europa Oriental". Si así fuera, bastaría con decir "Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia and Oceania. :O) :O)

Siempre es posible que se refieran al Lejano Oriente, pero no entiendo que sea una deducción lógica porque vaya acompañada de África y Oceanía.

Como último apunte, si no tienes más contexto y persiste la duda, no habrá más remedio que consultarlo con el cliente.

Cambio y corto.
