it's correct Explanation: I think if you're going to put the 'also' in, that would be the place to put it! However, if it were me, I'd be tempted to leave it out altogether. The system authorises and checks ... I don't think the 'also' adds much and I think it sounds better without! Just a thought - hope it helps Mary native English speaker |

yes Explanation: the 'also' sounds fine to me, but 'at the level of...' is not quite English. I assume that the French version was 'au niveau des...', in which case I would suggest saying 'serial numbers on/for the subitems...'. HTH Julia |

Note : The system also/both authorizes and Explanation: checks sub-item serial numbers (the serial numbers on sub-items) for the COMPOSITE products. also/both sound more natural at the beginning as suggested by others. I would also go along with the suggestion that "également" is reducndant in the original and could simply not be translated at all. No info on fuller context, but it might be useful to check the adjective "composé" in the field concerned as it more often than not translate as "composite". |
