French term

TXPRO

French to English Other Education / Pedagogy Records from special ed school in Paris
Posted this previously but background info was in an earlier query that was declined because of two terms being posted in the one query rather than just one.

This student - who benefited from an Individualized Instruction Plan - was aged about 20 at the time of his/her training. As well as basic subjects (French, History/Geography, English, PE, etc), he/she seems to have some on-the-job training.

Hi Eileen,

It would help if you could answer the following questions :

- are you translating a "bulletin scolaire" or a "relevé de notes"? If it's the former, it is a school report; if the latter, then it is an official transcription of exam/continuous assessment results
- what information do you have to confirm that your context has something to do with special needs?

Both of these are important, independently and together. If these points are not clear, then you may be off target in your udnerstanding of the overall context.

Sorry, working under difficult circumstances and panicking as deadline is cob today! Yes, I agree that lib pap must be librairie papeterie and travail professionels sounds just right. Many thanks.
philgoddard Nov 18, 2016:
Never mind, found it. It's in your next question:
"TXPRO/DROIT EJJS, TXPRO/VENTE, and TXPRO/librairie."
This confirms my suggestion elsewhere that "lib pap" is librairie papeterie, and TXPRO is probably travaux professionnels.
Your questions are confusing!

Context, please Is this a subject on an exam certificate? Is there anything before or after it?

French term (edited): TXPRO = Travaux Professionnels

Practical Vocational Activities

Odd that it isn't 'travaux pratiques', but perhaps there is some special reason here...

Unless of course it isn't 'professionnel' — but I'm at a loss to know what else that might stand for.

Pretty confident about TX = travaux
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : all anyone can do is guess/travaux pratiques is common terminology in many fields. but an educated guess is still a guess. What about this multiple term guess-o-rama: TRAV PROF SUI PROD LIB-PAP-PRE

Sure, although I am guessing from a background of some experience in the field of education.
agree philgoddard : TRAV PROF in the asker's other question supports this.

Thanks, Phil!
