Viewing cable 08RABAT18, AMENDED REQUEST FOR FRENCH AND ARABIC TRANSLATION

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number.

SUBJECT: AMENDED REQUEST FOR FRENCH AND ARABIC TRANSLATION 
OF THE 2007 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORTS 
 
REF: A. SECSTATE 151772 
 
     B. RABAT 1698 
 
1.  Per the points conveyed Ref A, Post requested Language 
Services' assistance in translating the 2007 Human Rights 
Report from English to Arabic on November 5 (Ref B).  English 
to French translation was to have been procured locally, 
replicating the procedure used in 2006. 
 
2.  Subsequent to the November 5 request, Post's senior 
French translator retired, significantly diminishing in-house 
translation capabilities pending successful recruitment of a 
replacement. 
 
3.  As a result, Post amends reftel request to include 
Language Services' support in translating both the Arabic and 
French versions of the 2007 Morocco Human Rights Reports. 
 
4.  Alternatively, Post could procure a translation locally, 
but would need a fund cite.
