English to French translations [PRO]
Law (general)
English term or phrase: offender’s license
The whole sentence is "You are entitled to know certain information, and you are entitled to request additional conditions to an offender’s license relating to you and/or your family."
It is about a letter sent to a victim informing that the offender will be released on licence.
I was thinking to use : "libération conditionnelle", but I would like to have other opinion

disagree  Daryo: the whole point of being "released on licence" is that the offender IS NOT really "free" - there are some conditions imposed by the "licence" // takes 5 sec to check: https://www.prisonersfamilies.org/licence-conditions/

disagree  Hugues Roumier: this is Conditional release , or statutory release

  -> Comparing the content of the two references is too complicated? BTW what would be a "conditional release/statutory relase" in UK?? You did notice that it's about UK, did you?

permission ou autorisation (de sortie)


Explanation:
Bonjour,

Au vu des différents niveaux de permissions ou d'autorisations de sortie en Grande-Bretagne ou au Canada, les termes "permission" ou "autorisation" seraient peut-être plus neutres (le terme "parole" n'étant pas utilisé dans cette phrase).

disagree  Daryo: the point is not in a "neutral" translation, but in an accurate one // "permission ou autorisation (de sortie)" would associate with the prisoner being authorised to go out for a day (and come back), not with "release on licence"

neutral  Germaine: Je suis d'accord avec Daryo là-dessus. Ça ne va pas!

Il me semble important de conserver le terme d' "offender" dans cette phrase, autrement la traduction n'est pas fidele.

disagree  Daryo: on "libère" (même si c'est une "liberté assortie de conditions") un détenu // si le coupable n'est pas en prison pour une raison quelconque, impossible de le "libérer" (sauf dans une logique alternative/parallèle...)
8 hrs

neutral  Germaine: C'est éminemment Français et particulièrement équivoque, surtout quand vous utlisez "coupable" plutôt que détenu (= libération forcée du coupable). En common law (et même dans le Québec civiliste!), ça s'appelle une libération conditionnelle..
