Ok people I need help with translation.

How would you say "centre ville" if you are talking of implementing selling location "en centre ville" ? Town center ? City center ? Downtown ?

How would you say "agglomération" if you are talking of "une agglomération de plus de XXXX inhabitants ? Urban center ? Metropol ? Suburbs ? Urban area ? City area ?

How would you say "l'enjeu des/de ..." in terms of économical issue ? The issue of ? The challenge of ? The importance of ?

Anyway, thanks for any help.

actually it depends, I would to to say centre ville more like the American way :downtown.

For agglomération, urban area doesn't sound bad

and for l'enjeu, you could say the economical issues yes, you've said it all actually xD glad to have helped you anyway

xD

"Enjeu" can be said "wager", but I think it's generally for a bet, a riddle or a game.
"Centre-ville" can be said "Centre Business District (CBD)".

Toch <> CBD is more of what you learn at school, but yeah as it looks like an economics work, it could work as well, but there are plenty of words for that.

Just a thing: economy is the name, economic the adjective. Economical designates something cheep ^^"...

But isn't "City Center" the most common one for British English ? That's what I'd have used anyway.

Thanks dsch for helping me to make these choices.

I will go with "city center" for "centre ville" because the audience is British, thanks KazU.

Toch <> cheap, cheep I don't remember what it means but it has no point, and economics, is the general subject, when you talk about stock options or classes, and it is always a plural ^^

Kazu <> true ^^ as I said, I go more often for the American option xD

I'm happy I could teach something to an English student (not a British student, a boy who studies English XD !).

I don't think so.

Some of my friends went to the theatre to saw it last week but I just refused to go with them. Looks like a mix between "Camping" and "Les bronzés". I think they didn't like it either. French movies are getting worse every year... --'
