situated in front or before
I am assuming that you are asking for a definition of the word "anterior" in English.
The American Heritage Dictionary gives the following definition of the word "anterior":
1. Placed before or in front.
2. Occurring before in time; earlier.
3. Anatomy:
a. Located near or toward the head in lower animals.
b. Located on or near the front of the body in higher animals.
c. Located on or near the front of an organ or on the ventral surface of the body in humans.
4. Botany. In front of and facing away from the axis or stem.
I hope this answers your question. If you need the term translated into another language, you may wish to repost your question, specifying the target language.
