Spanish term
S---- --/-------D
Spanish to English
Medical
General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
This is in the address details of a letter to the Coordinator of an Ethics Committee in Argentina.
First, it gives the address of the hospital. Then, a few lines below, it says:
Sr. Coordinador del Comité de Ética
Dr. José X
S---- --/-------D
Is "S---- --/-------D" just the same as "S/D" - "Su Despacho"?
Thanks for your help.

omit (
seems it's easy to miss in the Glossary due to how it's punctuated

sorry, I meant to put in the term "omit ("delivered by hand")" - not sure why it didn't go in as that

@ AllegroTrans: see the various comments in the links to previous questions; even if it is delivered by courier, rather than fax, as Emma G. mentions, I don't really see how that isreally more "by hand" than if delivered by a postman/woman. I don't think much correspondence esp. of this type would say "by hand" on the letter, though on the envelope is somewhat possible.

I'm sure you can choose to include "by hand" or otherwise, according to context, etc. :-)

: if it means "by hand" why should it be omitted? We use this in English don't we?// well, despite what you say I have often seen this at the top of a letter and I certainly would not omit it in the translation
