Flemish term

animatie

Flemish to English Medical Other
Ik ben een getuigschrift van goed zedelijk gedrag aan het vertalen. Het lijkt me afkomstig uit België. Er komt de volgende zinsnede in voor "hulpverlening aan de jeugd, kinderbescherming, animatie of begeleiding van minderjarigen". Zelf heb ik er geen bevestiging voor kunnen vinden of "animatie" hier inderdaad te vertalen is als "animation". Kan iemand mij helpen?

activities

In this case, children's activities. 'Animation' doesn't have this meaning in English.

It is a Gallicism, of course. Compare:

\"The meeting place for all children in the village. **Professional youth coordinators** oversee them in workshops to stimulate their artistic talents, initiate them to the magic of acting, make-up, decoration, drawing, painting, and outdoor games.\"

and

\"Le repère de tous les enfants du village. **Des professionnels de l’animation** les prennent en charge en ateliers pour stimuler leurs talents artistiques, les initier à la magie du spectacle, au maquillage, à la décoration, au dessin, à la peinture, ou improviser des jeux de plein air.\"

disagree Chris Hopley : Oxford Advanced Learner's: animation = 1 liveliness 2 the technique of making people and animals in pictures appear to move

I knew you'd react... Perfect example of a Dutch word with more meanings than the English...'animatie' is your 1 and 2 + the one I entered above - so in English it doesn't exist with this meaning, interesting! Didn't check any dictionary

agree Chris Hopley : 'entertaining' / 'entertainment' would certainly work
