Unglücklicherweise, ich spreche Deutsch wie eine spanische Kuh.

Does any of you speak German?

Yes. I don't know whether you read my question from top to bottom: this document also uses réalisation on many occasions, which for me is "completion". Hence my bemusement. It is not the best drafted promesse I've ever had the pleasure of tackling.

And possibly a reason for using Adrian MM's "settling": this, as I sometimes feel with Adrian MM's learned suggestions, can no doubt produce, in the mind of the reader, the same unsettling feeling of not being entirely sure what we're talking about: synonym or non-synonym of completion? Unfortunately I'm probably too much of a coward to do that, since I myself don't really know if there's any difference between "settling" and "completion".

and in France, completion is almost invariably by an 'acte authentique' unless there is an immediate sale (i.e. without a preliminary contract). So 'completion' when referring to the procedure in general (e.g. the completion date) and 'final deed of sale' when referring to the notarial document (equivalent to a conveyance in E&W)

"Il [bénéficiaire] reconnaît avoir été informé du fait que, à compter de la régularisation de l’acte de vente, il sera membre de l'association syndicale et tenu d'une quote-part des frais et charges relatifs à l'entretien des éléments d'équipement du lotissement."

To me this is fairly conclusive: it does then, in the mind of this notary at least, appear to be synonymous with completion: only after completion can all the legal obligations of the owner become incumbent on the promisee, surely... ?

Hello all

On the question itself and the explanation given by B D Finch in a previous answer, it's really hard.

AllegroTrans gives a translation that English people can relate to but François is right to point out that we are talking about a very specific French procedure prior to the final deed of sale.

Normally, my approach is that readers know that different countries have different documents/procedures and that the translator may have to give the nearest equivalent but here, if we are describing PRECISELY how you sell property in France, then the "approximation" does not work.

So I think François is more on the right track but can his translation be improved? Or should Mpoma use translator's notes?

Hello

I too find the Proz glossary search a nightmare. All those options that have to be set each time and if a question was asked under say "construction" and you think it's "architecture", that's enough to scupper the search if you are too specific in your search criteria.

Another problem, which I also have in my CAT tool, is the dreaded apostrophe in French

If the Proz entry is "régularisation de l'acte" and you search for "régularisation de l’acte", then you won't get a hit at all

Strangely, if you use Google and search for "régularisation de l’acte proz", you will get a hit for "régularisation de l'acte" !?!?!?

I guess that when Google does a search, it sends a query with both types of apostrophe !!!

I'm sure there must be other pitfalls too.

Thanks. Why on earth didn't that come up when I searched. Mystery. May delete this.
