contestacion a prevencion

20:20 Jan 28, 2010 

Unfortunately the inhouse translators are of the opinion that "reply to refusal" is fine. I wasn't paid for this part of the translation, as it was a template for the cover page of the fax which I just double checked for my own peace of mind really. I don't think there is a lot I can do :-(

And it will probably be published on the internet and become "fact"

I had been looking at the question too, and had posted an answer which I subsequently blocked. However, it was pretty much along the lines of Liz' original answer (also disappeared), and the word used was "Response to ...", in light of what follows on "atencion inmediata", "carta compromiso" and "tramite de convenio. Muriel, I agree with you, but then again, the client is always right; I would personally still use "response". Un abrazo.

I agree Muriel. I wasn't convinced by it either to be honest, but, as you know, the client is always right ... sigh!

I'm not defending my answer, because the whole thing was unclear, but how they got 'refusal' from "prevencion" is beyond understanding.

The client has replied to me and said that the best translation for this is "reply to refusal", i.e. a response to a refusal for the trial to be carried out. Thank you all for your help with this.

Liz's comment has been removed now. Hmm. I'm really not sure about this one. I may ask the agency to double check it with the client, as without more context it could be any number of things. I will let you all know when I have an answer. Thank you for your help.

could be legal, as I found a legal ref. earlier. Where's Liz's comment, though?!

18:27 Jan 24, 2010 

"Contestacion a" also could mean "oppostion to"

My fourth point is that there will always be opposition to prevention. There is opposition from colleagues who feel threatened. One of my favourite slides ...

Hi Rachel, the trial is about a new drug for multiple sclerosis. I think Liz is right and the term may be legal. I will try reposting it as a legal question.

could 'response to prevention' have any meaning here - what sort of trial is it?

15:05 Jan 24, 2010 

Hi Cath. It's basically a stand alone comment with a check box next to it. The other three comments are "atencion inmediata", "carta compromiso" and "tramite de convenio". The fax is about progress reports for a clinical trial. Is that any help?

Hi Sonia, Is there any wording in the body of this particular section that would give us more context?
