В измененных инструкциях говорилось о допустимости употребления сокращений для обозначения мужского и женского рода в единственном и множественном числе, в которых используются разные орфографические методы (дефис или заглавные буквы). The instructions were amended to specify that abbreviated gender formulations in singular and plural using various orthographic techniques are permissible (slash or capital letters).

Отвечая на вопрос г-жи Шимонович, она говорит, что в разделе доклада, посвященном фамилиям, не ставилась цель проводить анализ тенденций, а имелось в виду отразить фактическое положение вещей — в частности то, что традиционно при заключении брака женщины брали фамилии своих мужей, а теперь появились новые возможности, которые позволяют вступающим в брак брать составные фамилии, написанные через дефис, или дают возможность мужьям брать фамилию своих жен. Replying to Ms. Šimonović, she said that the section of the report on family names did not purport to analyse trends so much as set out a factual situation, namely, that women had traditionally taken their husbands'names upon marriage but there were now other options, including hyphenated surnames or husbands adopting their wives'names.

What is translation in context on PROMT.One

The “Contexts” section on PROMT.One is your translation-in-context tool that helps you find real examples of how words and phrases are used. Just enter a word and the service will show its translation in context — sentences from bilingual sources where this word is used together with its translation into the target language. This helps you understand subtle shades of meaning and correct usage in speech, whether it is a rare term or a common everyday phrase.

Millions of usage examples from real texts

Millions of translation examples are collected automatically from already translated texts: documents, websites, books, movie dialogues and more. Thanks to this, you can see a word in different situations — from formal business style to everyday colloquial speech. For convenience, the results can be filtered by a specific translation or topic, and you can also search within the examples found to quickly focus on the context you need.

How translation in context helps you learn a language

By using the “Contexts” section, you can effectively expand your vocabulary. The service clearly shows how idioms, phrasal verbs and polysemantic words are translated in different contexts. This makes language learning easier: you remember new words together with their real usage and immediately see correct translations in authentic, living language.
