Arabic to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / Translation of Egyptian Birth Certificate Extract

Arabic term or phrase: ۰۰۰,۱٥۰

الهيئة العامة لشئون المطابع الأميرية – ٣٧٩ – س ١٩٨٩ – ۰۰۰,۱٥۰

The number (150,000) appears in the certificate underneath the table where the newborn data are stated.

What does this number stand for in the original? And how can we properly convey it in English? Do we need to translate it into English or is it unimportant? Can we do away with it?

Thank you for your help!

Keept it as it is (150,000)

Explanation:
I would say that you keep it as it it, just put the numbers in English to match the Arabic ones, only from left to right, of course.

In this particular context, they are record numbers or something like that, I don't think it's a translator's job to explain them any further.
