Explanation:
Je suppose que vous traduisez un document sur la Belgique ou les Pays Bas !?
Voici une suggestion :

Le béguinage est une traduction française du mot néerlandais "beginhof" qui est un couvent pour femmes.

Le guide Lonely Planet et d'autres aussi ont choisi d'utiliser les termes original et de mettre la traduction entre parenthèses.
