Spanish term or phrase: traducción
La ***traducción*** del valor de la naturaleza en patrones de mercado es algo en lo que todavía queda mucho por hacer, por ejemplo en términos de denominaciones de origen y marcas de calidad asociadas a productos naturales..

This is from a text on climate change and biodiversity written by someone in Spain.

I am not sure of the best translation of 'traducción' here - I am trying to decide between a couple of options at the moment.

Any ideas would be gratefully received!

Many thanks in advance,


Sheila

Many thanks for all the answers and comments - in the end I went with 'conversion' - it's what I had in mind and it was good to have it confirmed. I think it suits my context best.

Thanks again!
