English term

according

English to French Art/Literary Linguistics
Bonjour,

y a -t-il un sens particulier pour "according" dans un contexte de compagnies d'assurances. Le terme revient assez souvent dans une lettre, par exemple : "...we have to get your **according** answer until 30.07" ou "to undersign the **according** compensation form" etc...
merci d'avance

PFB (X) Jul 28, 2008:
dondant, ce terme n'appartient pas au voc de l'assurance (d'autant que comme cmwilliams, je pense qu'il ne veut rien dire en anglais employé tel quel). Je me suis permis de changer votre champ de recherche.
leonide (asker) Jul 28, 2008:
I think you are right. The text comes from Greece and might have been translated either from Greek or German.
cmwilliams (X) Jul 28, 2008:
Do you know if the text has been translated from another language? It is not natural English and 'according answer' makes no sense to me.

Je ne pense pas qu'il y ait un terme spécifique, c'est juste un terme souvent utilisé dans ce genre de document formel/légal/etc. pour spécifier un formulaire/proposition/réponse dont on ne connaît pas spécifiquement la nature au moment de la rédaction d'un document.
According = selon une loi, en accord à un règlement, etc.
Peer comment(s):
neutral PFB (X) : J'en doute, du moins employé tel quel ("according compensation"???)
