| | I think that "form" means the paper you fill out for something...at least in movies, is what most of the time is pronounced ... isn't?
Somebody could clarify this for me please? |

| | I shall edit with "Widow survivor's pension ", which is specific to this situation described above. but rest of the translation is good. |

| | Sorry, but it seems I am again the one with a different opinion.
Don't know what "pension de reversion" really is, but the word my dictionary gives for "reversion" is a legal term meaning ~recovery.
Maybe she has failed to apply for his late husband's pension to be paid to her. Widows at least in Finland are entitled to that. When applied and accepted the payments will come to her (in the future). But it leaves the problem with the time before the application. She is entitled to get that money too but maybe has to fill in another kind of application. (here automatically paid for the time past also)
Maybe: pension recovery or maybe Francky could explain the "pension de reversion"? |

| | You can't "fill out" a "formality" in English - only a "form". Is there some other possible meaning for "remplir"?
Maybe "we do not know the procedures required to receive ..."? |

| | No, no, "reversion" in French is the pension a widow gets from her deceased husband's retirement incomes (or a widower from his deceased wife's retirement incomes).
I definitly think this translation is right the way it was edited. |

| | apple, you didn't say what you thought of my suggestion above (24 May 2007 14:47). |

| appleTổng số bài gửi: 972 | Sorry, kafetzou, I think that the meaning of your suggestion is right, but I don't know if that is the only way to say it in English. Literally "remplir" would be here to fulfill, to accomplish, to execute, to carry out, to meet, to follow, to conform.
But I don't know how it sounds in English.
