correspondents? Explanation: 'players' is the usual translation, but I agree that in this context it would sound strange. 'Correspondents is the closest thing I can think of,which would'nt drastically change the meaning... HTH |

local parties (involved); local participants Explanation: "Acteurs" is always a tricky one to translate, since it means "those involved/participating." I've added "involved" because I think that will pinpoint the meaning a bit better than just "local parties," but do look at your overall context before deciding whether or not to include that part. If this has to do with a program, then maybe "participants" would be preferable. I think the Oxford 3-in-1's solution is probably as good as you'll get: 2 (participant) acteurs de la scène politique actors on the political stage; tous les acteurs de la vie économique all the parties involved in economic life; les acteurs d'un drame the protagonists of a tragedy; N.b. one of the reasons the context surrounding "acteur" is so important is that it may also carry the meaning of "agent"/"subject."

peer agreement (net): +2local players / local entities Explanation: the text really talks about the entities concerned in this economic area they are studying - whether they are companies, shops etc - should look into using an economic term for it. Local player seems quite a good match for me |
