Spanish to English translations [PRO]
International Org/Dev/Coop | | Spanish term or phrase: referentes | The sentence I need to translate is a comment on a Spanish language text - hence the inclusion of the Spanish followed by the English in square brackets:
In the same sentence, I would also suggest changing the word ‘entrenadores’ [trainers] for ‘referentes’ [reference persons].
What exactly do they mean by a 'referente' in this context? Are they local experts or providers of information? Are they some kind of facilitator or arbitrator?
------------
The Spanish text they wish to change currently reads:
La información debe:
- Ser proporcionada por personal culturalmente apropiados, en ubicaciones culturalmente
apropiadas, e incluir el desarrollo de capacidades por parte de entrenadores indígenas o
locales;
How would you describe a 'referente indigena o local'?
Any thoughts are mightily appreciated - thanks in advance! |
