peer agreement (net): +1more context would help Explanation: I don't think this one can be answered in the abstract - we would need to read the whole paragraph or passage to offer an opinion. But the point to be made is that "compensation" is a perfectly respectable element of translation - where you under-translate one element but provide enough information elsewhere for the reader to have all the facts. I suggest that you read through your translation, "forgetting" the knowledge you have acquired from the original, and see whether you think it is clear and informative in its own right - hopefully this will tell you whether you need to add any further explanatory phrases. |

peer agreement (net): +2Daniela, if it's clear from the context ... Explanation: ... then "opening clause" on its own is fine (and I'd probably keep the inverted commas). Otherwise, you could say (depending on the sentence)"... the "opening clause" in the collective agreement that governs/permits ..." or "the collective agreement contains an "opening clause" for ...". The problem with translating "Tarif" is that it's not always about pay. |
