Target language: English

Freedom of research is inextricably intertwined with the freedom to teach. Their coexistence is vital to the development and the advancement of science. Research approaches the scientific truth while teaching promotes the transmission of scientific knowledge and opinion(s). These two aspects of science interact for a perfect, precise and complete knowledge to be achieved. The Constitution establishes research and teaching as unconditional rights, subject only to the necessary restrictions, providing heightened protection to them. Freedom of both research and teaching ultimately means the freedom to question.

	irini Number of messages: 849	Hello all, I actually notified all of you breaking our own pop-up rule because we are in a bit of a hurry. This translation HAS to be good and since I just saw it about 15 mins ago and I have to go off line now, I thought some of you may check it out. Note that this is supposed to be the kind of English you submit in a paper for Uni and I've tried for British English. I am sure it's full with mistakes but I thought I'd take advantage of your kindness before even looking over it since there's shortage of time. Thank you! Note: "subtotals" is my translation for "partial aspects" Perhaps a more literal translation would be better? Note 2: The whole "research achieve, teaching does that" is actually in passive voice in the original (by research this is achieved, by teaching that).

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	This is a very difficult translation, and although Irini has done a great initial job, there are a lot of kinks to be ironed out, and my Greek is really not good enough to do it properly, but I will try. I don't know the meaning of many of these academic-style words, such as "ÎµÏ€Î¹Ï„Ï…Î³Ï‡Î¬Î½ÎµÏ„Î±Î¹ Î· Ï€ÏÎ¿ÏƒÎÎ³Î³Î¹ÏƒÎ·" ("Research achieves the approach of scientific truth" is not comprehensible in English). Instead of "subtotals", I would suggest "subcategories", if that is what "Î¼ÎµÏÎ¹ÎºÏŒÏ„ÎµÏÎµÏ‚ Î¼Î¿ÏÏ†ÎÏ‚" means. Also, instead of "to doubt" in the last sentence, I would suggest "to question" for "Ï„Î·Ï‚ Î±Î¼Ï†Î¹ÏƒÎ²Î®Ï„Î·ÏƒÎ·Ï‚". P.S. The two "the"s in the first sentence should be removed, as well as the one at the beginning of the last sentence.

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Hi Mideia, Hi Irini, I'm sorry I took too long to answer but I was just waiting one of the "veterans" to post an input. Irini, you did a great job, I don't know if any of my suggestions will be worth taking into account, however since many minds thinking together usually get good results...here you are: Research and teaching liberties are completely interwined. Their coexistence is vital to the development and the advancement of science. Research approaches the scientific truth while teaching promotes the transmission of scientific knowledge and opinion(s). These two aspects of science interact for a perfect, precise and complete knowledge to be achieved. The Constitution establishes research and teaching as unconditional rights, subject only to the necessary restrictions, providing increasing protection to them. Liberty of reseach and teaching is conceived, ultimately, as the liberty to doubt. There are still some "the" to take out if you want. I hope it will be of some help.

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	Hmm. Interesting version, Lilian, but the first sentence would not make sense to an English speaker. Here is my suggestion: Freedom of research is inextricably intertwined with the freedom to teach. I really like your version of the next two sentences, and I think you left the fourth one as is. I think that the last one is good, too, but I would again use the verb "question" rather than "doubt". So here's my final version, using Irini's and Lilian's (and mine): Freedom of research is inextricably intertwined with the freedom to teach. Their coexistence is vital to the development and the advancement of science. Research approaches the scientific truth while teaching promotes the transmission of scientific knowledge and opinion(s). These two aspects of science interact for a perfect, precise and complete knowledge to be achieved. The Constitution establishes research and teaching as unconditional rights, subject only to the necessary restrictions, providing heightened protection to them. Freedom of both research and teaching ultimately means the freedom to question.
