Hey all
Trying to translate a phrase for a work document, French to English. The context is academic study, personal development. The phrase is 'culture generale et actualite scientifique'. I can do a literal translation 'general culture and scientific news', but this seems odd given the context. Does anyone know if it has a different, specific meaning, eg social sciences? |

^^ I thought of that, but it seemed a bit cheeky, given it's his job and all. I was hoping he was hopping round in GC and would see it!
Still, might give that a try later if need be. Thanks! |

Here I am
Actualité scientifique is the scientific state of the art. Basically, the latest in science.
Culture générale is just what it says it is, general culture.
If there's more to it, send me a PM as I'll be hopping around for various parts of the evening. |
