Spanish term
\'designada\' - is there an error or missing word here?
Spanish to English
Other
Law: Contract(s)
Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble unpicking the end part of this sentence ('una empresa especializada designada por el gerente de Proyectos e ingeniería del CONTRATANTE designada para esta actividad por EL CONTRATANTE').
I was wondering if there's a word missing (i.e. 'o' after 'CONTRATANTE') or if the second 'designada' should in fact be 'designado' (to refer to the 'gerente')?
Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated!
For a bit more context, here's the full sentence:
La interventoría será ejercida por personal del CONTRATANTE o una empresa especializada designada por el gerente de Proyectos e ingeniería del CONTRATANTE designada para esta actividad por EL CONTRATANTE
Thanks!

named (or something similar)
There's an error in the Spanish.
The first designada refers to una empresa especializada.
The second designada refers to el gerente de Proyectos ....
designada para esta actividad should read: designado para esta actividad
How you translate designad@ is largely a matter of personal preference. In this sentence, where the word occurs twice to refer to different people, I would use different words for each in English. Perhaps "chosen" or "selected" for the first instance and "assigned" for the second.

Note from asker:
| Great, thanks for your help, it definitely makes more sense as designado! |

"designada" means something similar to designated so you could use names or designated

Thank you Taña, as I said above "assigned" would also be a good choice.

Thank you nielmac. "Designated" sounds quite a legal term to me and correct, but if they prefer assigned, why not?

DesignadO
'una empresa especializada designada por el gerente de Proyectos e ingeniería del CONTRATANTE designadO [a su vez] para esta actividad por EL CONTRATANTE').
Me parece que eso es lo que quiere decir. A menos que ambos, el gerente de Proyectos e ingeniería y EL CONTRATANTE, en conjunto, hayan designado la mentada empresa especializada.
