Help for translation of English economic words

Anonymous — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 05:41:45 GMT

Hi everyone!
I am about to translate a sort of "economic" report about Italian regions.
It`s the firs time i come across something like that so I really need your help.
Let`s start then!

Is it correct to write:"Its GDP is estimated around 14.200 euro"?
would you write something like: "he would like to meet delegates of productive world and commercial distribution"?
Would you use to write a formal report in English an expression such as "The Regional Director of Sicily would be pleased/honored to meet the Chief minister of Andrha to discuss about agricultural,mevhanical,navy and furniture industry"..does it sound right??
Do you also have in English the expressione "three economic sectors" to refer to i 3 settori economici ovvero primario, secondario e terziario?
Referring to enviromental issues, would you say:"He would like to compare and discuss experiences related to development and qualification of teh territory such as energy/enviroment, data transmission nets and social and logistical services"?
How do you say in English "attivita` produttive"?
Does it sound right something like: Sicily`s main incomings are represented by mechanical engineering, transportation equipment and telecommunications."? Or: "Its main productive business are breeding and wine".
And what about this:" he would be pleased to meet you in order to plan collbaoration`s agreement to organize exchanges within universities and research sector"? Is within right or between is better?
the idea is to let students move by universities...
Last thing, do you usually use in English to write You with initial capital letter if you ae addressing to someone important?

As you can see, I have a lot of doubts cause I have never attended a business English class before...even if I feel it`s time to take one !
I would extremely appreciate your suggetsions, advice and, basicly, your help!
Mostly, i would like to know whether the language is correct or not.
I mean, I have to write a formal paper but, you know, it doesn`t have to be ridicolous! something like you would expect to read in case you were reading a formal English paper...
Ok, I think you got it!

Thank You so much!!!!
I`ll wait for you!

Re: Student's resume for scholarship (help me to admend)

Often things like this are listed in reverse chronological order -- that is, the most recent is first, and the oldest is last. When you get to 2007, you have so many things that a bulleted list might be better. Good luck with your scholarship application.

OBJECTIVE : DON KNOW WHAT TO WRITEâ¦(please advise) Only you know what your objectives are. What do you want to study? Why do you want to study it? My 8 year old has an abiding passion for sharks and wants to go to college to study marine biology so she can go on to study sharks in their natural setting. What do YOU want to do?

EDUCATION:

UPSR 2002 (SJK(C)FOON YEW 1, J.B) I have no idea what this means.

Secondary education ( SMK TAMAN DAYA 2, JB )

Form 1, 2003 : second place of the whole form 1 students.(2/415) Perhaps for all of these you could simply say "Class ranking: 2 of 415"

Form 2, 2004 : first place of the whole form 2 students (1/326)

Form 3, 2005 : PMR-6Aâs (highest mark in geography, kemahiran hidup 4 ) Do you not have a ranking here? Leaving it out makes it look like you went way down.

Form 4, 2006 : second place of the whole form 4 students. (2/234), (highest mark in physic , chemistry and biology subject ) Same as above, but say "Highest place in physics, chemistry, and biology." Don't use "subject."

HONORS AND ACTIVITIES: Use consistent capitalization. Start each one with a capital letter.

2003: Council member of the schoolâs badminton association, scoutâs group leader I don't know how it's written in your country, but here it would be "Scout troop leader."

2004: scoutâs group leader, participated in the schoolâs English Poem Recitation, second runner up for the (JPJ - what is this?) road safety competition organized by Shell Malaysia. Is this relevent to your academic achievements? Is the fact that Shell sponsored it important to this scholarship application.

First place in the science and mathematic inter-school competition.

2005: scoutâ group leader , vice chairman of the science and mathematic society , first place in the inter-school literature quiz competition.

don't leave a space before a comma - leave one after it.

2006 : vice chairman of the scoutâs troop , don't have a comma dangling out here unless there's another thing to list

2007 : chairman of the scoutâs troop, vice chairman of the science and mathematic society, council member of the interschool sports team, participate in first aid and basic fire fighting course organized by Malaysia Civil Defense force ,participate in the J.B Law Olympiad 2007, second place in the district drama competition ,second place in the district Biology competition , don't have a comma dangling out here unless there's another thing to list

Fluent in spoken and written:
English, Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, Cantonese

Languages: English, Spanish Have your titles start with capital letters, and make sure languages also start with capitals
