Ellers er vel trolig Tyskland det landet i Europa med flest offentlige høytidsdager , hvorfor Norge har så mange ? Statskirken står sterkt , med sterke bånd til offentlige myndigheter, selv om disse for tiden har blitt svakere grunnet en rødgrønn regjering og ikke troende medlemmer av regjering/statsråder. | Remarks about the translation | It's been almost 4 years that i learn norwegian on my own ans still...i have a hard time to understand that person... |

Or Germany is probably the country in Europe with most public holidays, why does Norway have so many? The official state church is solid, strongly connected with the public authorities, even if these connections are weaker nowadays, because they have currently been founded on a red-green coalition and not on believing members of the government/ members of the cabinet. |

Just a few corrections:
Or Germany is probably the country in Europe with most public holidays, why does Norway have so many? The official (state?) church is solid, strongly connected with the public authorities, even if these, have currently been founded on a red-green coalition and not on believing members/ members of the cabinet (government?)
What do you think?

Thanks a lot Lilian, I've corrected!
You are right, it's about the "state church". I saw, I've missed to translate "ikke troende medlemmer av regjering" (sorry!) ...so I think the last sentence would be: "and not on believing members of the government/ members of the cabinet.
Or if "members of the cabinet" sounds weird, just: " cabinet ministers"

15 April 2009 14:38 | | | The translation doesn't really make sense to me and a part has been omitted, leading to loss of meaning. this would be my translation:
"If Germany is generally considered to be the country in Europe with most public holidays, then why does Norway have so many? The official church stays strong, having strong connections to the public authorities, although these connections are weaker nowadays, due to a red-green coalition government and the presence of nonbelievers among the members of the government/cabinet." | | |

MkayNumber of messages: 9 | I think the source-text is taken out of context, and therefore it is difficult to see if the translation is precise.. On the other hand, it is "meaning only"... I vouch for it.. | | |
19 April 2009 17:35 | | | kutt ut Or i starten av setningen ellers noen skrivefeil . . . ikke helt bra engelsk nei | | |
