Spanish term or phrase: educativa y formativa
SPAIN. Twas the night before Christamas, and all thru the house, translators were pondering.. The text is about sewage treatment plants...
- I reckon "educativa y formativa" is basically a redundancy, as both really mean "educational" although "training" is currently in vogue. Should I just dump "formativa" or try to shoehorn it in somehow? "Por último socialmente se trata de una iniciativa que puede dotar de grandes beneficios al lugar dónde se vaya a realizar una instalación de este tipo, ya que genera puestos de trabajo (tanto cualificados como no cualificados principalmente) y permite dotar al municipio de un centro de capacitación ambiental, educativa y formativa."
