viabilização

I just wanted to let you guys know that I haven't felt like anyone was made or upset and I've never said that Deborah was the one yelling at me... All I said is that I could afford closing the question later today because of my flexible deadline and because I have had PAST EXPERIENCES with some upset colleagues that didn't have time to suggest me anything after I closed a question too early. I thank you all for your understanding and suggestions. I would really be a lonely occupation without this great community.

I understand and appreciate your comments. I am considering your suggestion as the potential answer because I still have some time before my deadline. Besides, whenever I award points to a suggestion here at Proz.com before the 24h-wait policy, people start yelling at me...

So, when I'm ready to proofread my translation and fill in this blank that was left behind, I'll come back here, award the points and use the most suitable translation to finalize my job. I do not agree with your remark about "making this far more complicated for yourself" because that has been my procedure every time I use Kudos: I ask, I wait, and I choose. Whenever people ask for more context, I come back to provide what is necessary for everybody to have a general understanding of what I'm working with.

The only reason why I had to add notes to my question all day is because people keep on questioning whether I know what I'm talking about... I've given all the information I'm allowed to give regarding the context and, unfortunatelly, I cannot disclose anything else. Believe me, I know what the text says, I know what are the intentions from both parties, and I've exposed it to my colleagues in order to find the better term for "viabiliza��o" in this case.

Therefore, by the end of the day, I'll be closing this question and awarding the points to the best suggestion.

Thanks, everybody!

I cannot disclose details, but the goverment does want 40% of the land that is occupied by the company's facilities in order to use it for public projects that are still to be created. THAT IS THE CONTEXT... They tried to reach an agreement, so that the government would pay for the land and the building (not the equipment), but the company seems to want more from the deal and the expropriation is about to take place.

I'm sure that the government wants to expropriate 40% of the land that is occupied by the company in order to use it for another project, that is, to build an office for a public company.

Esta � a id�ia que eu tenho em mente, j� que para fazer com que o terreno fique dispon�vel para os objetivos do governo ser� necess�rio que a empresa desocupe o local. "Disoccupy" ou "for the disoccupation of the plant" seriam �timas op�es. Por�m eu esperarei pelos coment�rios dos colegas portugueses, j� que o termo "viabiliza��o da f�brica" tem sido usado constantemente nestes artigos da imprensa de Portugal. Quem sabe o sin�nimo "desocupa��o" n�o � algo que n�s, brasileiros, temos claro em mente, mas n�o se aplica ao contexto portugu�s???

Obrigada.

As �nicas informa�es que eu poderia acrescentar � que o governo deseja expropriar parte do terreno que � ocupado por uma multinacional estrangeira. Por isso, est�o sendo feitas negocia�es para realizar a "viabiliza��o da f�brica". Da� a minha id�ia de "vacate", "empty", "make available", que seriam verbos que usariam "the manufacturing plant" como objeto da frase.

"To enable" n�o me servir�, uma vez que o verbo � transitivo direto e indireto, usando "the manufacturing plant" como objeto direto e precisando de um objeto indireto que n�o existe na frase. Como tradutora, n�o posso "inventar" um termo para satisfazer minhas necessidades, certo?

Estou considerando as demais op�es a fim de encontrar a que melhor satisfa�a o tom do texto.

Obrigada a todos!

They were concerning Ms. Dam's suggestion. I'm still considering the other suggestions. And, again, there's no information I could add up to the sentence in order to complete the idea of "to enable to manufacturing plant to XXX" Thank you.

There's no relevant information after the "..." in the sentence above. I'm only trying to conceal names, places, and dates that should not be disclosed here.

"Viabiliza��o da f�brica" has been used many times throughout the project, which is made of several articles written by the Portuguese press.

As I've stated before, I understand that the verb "viabilizar" means "to make possible", or "to enable" as you have suggested. But what I'm looking for here is the noun that will allow me to keep the structure of the sentence, since there's nothing I can juggle around with in order to complete the idea of "In the beginning of the negotiations in order to enable the manufacturing plant TO DO WHAT???".

What I need is something that will fill in this blank: "In the beginning of the negotiations for the ____________________ of the manufacturing plant..."

Isn't "enable" a verb? "Viabiliza��o" is a noun and I would need a noun to come as close as possible to its meaning without moving the sentence around...
