eco-Archive Explanation: Believe this is an organisation involved in archiving various information on ecological areas for the use of students/scientists etc. Would not translate eco as the organisation is described in the brackets that follow Reference: http://www.umweltbibliotheken.de/bibliothek_anzeigen.php4?id... |

peer agreement (net): +1environmental archive Explanation: "environmental archive" @ 477 ggl (‘eco’ or ‘ecological’ are not as widely used in English as in German) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2005-08-23 11:30:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Given the limited context provided, it appears that xxx is the actual name of the archive and that eco-Archiv may be a generic description of the organisation. In this case, you would be right to translate 'eco-Archiv'. If, however, from the wider context it becomes clear that 'eco-Archiv' is indeed the actual name, a.j.lever's solution would be correct. |
