Discussion

PoveyTrans (X) (asker) Oct 9, 2006:
Point taken - just on a ridiculously tight timescale. Thanks.
Francis Lee (X) Oct 9, 2006:
Too be fair, you might have indicated this from the outset, nöh ;-)
PoveyTrans (X) (asker) Oct 9, 2006:
No, not for publication, for a trial (oddly enough!) so it is important that all the nuances of the original are conveyed rather than producing a 100% idiomatic translation.
Francis Lee (X) Oct 9, 2006:
Are you translating this novel for publication, Simon? Or is this just an excerpt for some other purpose?
PoveyTrans (X) (asker) Oct 9, 2006:
Thanks - yes, this makes complete sense.

Duden:
turnus: (österr.) Arbeitsschicht, praktische Ausbildungszeit des Arztes.
Maybe she was a trainee doctor?
I recommend the acquisition of a Duden.
