English term

Special Provincial Administration Solid Waste Management Union

English to French Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Public contracts
Salut,

Je révise un document sur les marchés publics mais j'ai un doute sur la traduction de "Union".

The contractor will be responsible for technical assistance and capacity building for xxx Municipalities and Special Provincial Administration Solid Waste Management Union

La phrase a été traduite comme suit:

Le contractant sera responsable de l’assistance technique et du renforcement des capacités des communes de xxx et de l’Union pour la gestion des déchets solides de l’administration provinciale spéciale.


Merci de votre aide

@ph-b We have an even better (more academic-sounding) syndicat: SMECTOM = Syndicat Mixte d'Étude, de Collecte et de Traitement des Ordures Ménagères. However, that doesn't mean that the word "syndicat" should be used for the Asker's Turkish organisation.

@ph-b Merci pour ces éclaircissements - le sens de la phrase est maintenant un peu plus clair. Je me demande tout simplement si "Union" est le terme approprié bien que ce soit le terme utilisé dans Tenders Electronic Daily; Syndicat AMA serait mieux.
ph-b (X) Oct 18, 2018:
syndicat ? Je n'écarterais pas nécessairement le terme « syndicat ». S'il s'agit par exemple de plusieurs communes ou entités administratives (on parle ici de municipalities and provincial administration - reste à savoir ce que ça recouvre exactement) qui mettent leurs ressources en commun (ce n'est pas rare), on a en France des ex. de syndicats des eaux, syndicats des ordures/traitements des déchets, etc. Chez moi, on a un SMITCOM (carrément !), ce qui signifie « Syndicat mixte de collecte et de traitement des ordures ménagères ».
mimi 254 (asker) Oct 17, 2018:
Effectivement
Germaine Oct 17, 2018:
Je doute fortement qu’on parle d’un syndicat, alors je ne toucherais pas à cette "Union". De toute façon, la traduction ne saurait être qu’indicative puisque le français n’a pas l’air d’être la langue officielle de l’endroit, non?

Though capital letters indicate that this is a proper name, the fact that this is a Turkish organisation makes it unlikely that the English version should be treated as a proper name.

As this document has already been translated into French for an official European body, I think their translation should be taken as authoritative.

Ideally, of course, this should be translated from Turkish to French, rather than from an English translation to French.

Note from asker:
Thanks BD Finch but I beg to differ, Ted translations should not always be regarded as authoritative. I can't make sense of the "Union" part in the translation, even that of the ref provided

That's not necessarily bad. The question is whether this is an officially accepted translation.
agree AllegroTrans : I don't think you can do better than this and if Gilou knows better then he should post an answer
