FR>EN: Ophthal - au premier plan

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

, yes, that link you sent helped a bit. I printed the

document and used it as a parallel text. I still sent an e-mail to

the client to verify.

In this text there is the term " au premier plan. " Now, I have another

book in this same series (French and English versions) that I have

been using as a parallel text for common terminology. In that book,

" au premier plan " is translated in two different

ways-- " characteristic " or " dominant. " I don't know what to put for

the " au premier plan " that I have just run across. Here is what

context I have for this part.

French:

Les causes de mauvaise vision, chez l'enfant, sont multiples :

- Les tumeurs

Au premier plan = le rétinoblastome

- Les cataractes congénitales

- Les strabismes

Le traitement de départ est toujours une correction optic.....

So how would you translate " au premier plan " in this case? Currently,

I'm thinking " Primarily retinoblastoma, " but don't let me contaminate

your ideas.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

.....

P.S. This chapter is called " Cas particulier de l'enfant. " At the

moment I have " Special Cases in Children. " The chapter is about

eye/vision disorders in children. I don't know how " special " these

cases are, but they're not " unusual, " either. The French is in the

singular, not plural as I currently have in English. I'm still trying

to think of a better translation.

Hi Mchael,

" Au premier plan " , in this case mean = la première de ces tumeurs, la tumeur

qui devance toutes les autres comme cause de mauvaise vision, celles qui est

la cause la plus fréquente.

Chez l'enfant = c'est habituel en français. Là où l'anglais dit " in adults,

in children, in rats " , nous disons " chez l'adulte, chez l'enfant, chez le

rat " . C'est au sens générique que nous l'utilisons : l'enfant = l'ensemble

des enfants.

" Cas particulier de l'enfant " ne signifie pas les cas au sens maladies

observées chez l'enfant, mais " en ce qui concerne plus particulièrement

l'enfant (les enfants) " .

Hope this helps, but I prefer to let my English-speaking colleagues to give

you the right translations.
