why not say 'ordre bamcaire en instance'. En indtance de quoi ? De transfert.!

Cyril Tollari Jul 23, 2020:

Ok merci pour l'info

Virginie T (asker) Jul 23, 2020:

Cyril, finalement, après indications du client j'ai traduit par "ordres intermédiaires". Merci de votre aide.

Cyril Tollari Jul 23, 2020:

Par curiosité, qu'aviez-vous retenu comme choix de traduction ?

Cyril Tollari Nov 1, 2019:

@Daryo As I explained in my posts the term pass-through orders is used wrongly in the source text. PB Finch posted the def for pass-through orders. I can't see how this makes sense in this context.

Daryo Oct 31, 2019:

EVEN if we limit the scope only to Luxemburg / Luxemburg French, there MUST be more than just one bank dealing with "pass through orders" for buying / selling any kind of financial instruments.

The right term in FR for "pass through orders" ought to show up in the "Terms and Conditions" of far more than just one bank!

Cyril Tollari Oct 31, 2019:

I wonder now if the original text is not French, but Italian, or written in French by a native Italian speaker, because of the name of the bank. There are a lot of different nationalities in Luxemburg. This would explain the French that is a bit weird at times.

Cyril Tollari Oct 31, 2019:

If you read the source text from this only one bank, you'll understand that the original text is in French, and the English term is misused/mistranslated in my opinion. So, it would be even more worrying to retranslate while trying to make sense of the English version.

Le français me semble correct même s'il ne se rencontre pas sous cette forme, mais avec "ordres de vente" et "passage" séparés. Il s'agit selon moi des ordres de vente qui doivent être passés, tout simplement, donc au stade de passage. J'admets que la construction est un peu bancale en français, mais c'est au Luxembourg.

Cyril Tollari Oct 31, 2019:

And only one google hit for the source text...

Daryo Oct 31, 2019:

Something is not right! "ordre de vente au passage" ZERO ghits

"ordres de vente au passage" ONLY ONE bank in Luxemburg using this term in their T&C.

A bit worrying, as you would expect "pass-through orders" NOT to be the exclusivity of only one bank ...

Selon moi, l'original est du français luxembourgeois.
