What ´s the correct translation of this title?
|
|
Hi everybody, I ´m translating an article from French to English, but I ´m not sure of the title ´s translation. Can you help me please? The French version: Epidémiologie
de l儫ypertension arterièlle au Maroc oriental et relations avec le diabète
type 2 et l侊bésit�. The English version: Epidemiology
of arterial hypertension and its
relationship with type II diabetes and obesity in Eastern Morocco. Thanks in advance. KONS |

Sophia, I agree that "relationship" doesn ´t sound right, but we wouldn ´t say "and its relation to". Unfortunately, I can ´t come up with a good wording in English. What I ´m thinking is "in relation to".
Although I don ´t know French, I ´m puzzled by the word "au" in the title.

thank you Sophia and Bruce/ what makes it difficult is begining with � epidemiology of artirial hypertension �. I agree that relationship doesn ´t sound good, but I hope you come out with a creative suggestion. "au" means ´in �/ you can think of the English version if you don ´t know French. thank you all.

The epidemiology of arterial hypertension in Eastern Maroco related to/and how it is related to/ and how it relates to/connected with/contributed by type 2 diabetes and obesity?

I ´m going with Sophia on "and how it relates to type 2 diabetes and obesity." That follows the French most closely, while using smooth English. It also sounds like the way a medical person would say it. Hey, am I mentioned in the article? Hypertension, type 2 diabetes and obesity - that´s me! Bruce

Yes, I like ´and how it relates to.. � @ Bruce ´au � is � + le �. Most countries are feminine (article la). Maroc is masculine - ´le Maroc �. So ´au Maroc � is ´in Morocco. � If you don ´t follow this explanation, this is because I used to be a French teacher and I was rubbish!

May I suggest:The epidemiology of arterial hypertension in
Eastern Morocco and how it relates to type 2 diabetes and obesity. Quite similar to the others I ´m afraid. Janet |
