UVODNA RIJE
Nakon prologodinjega poetka pregovora o pristupanju Republike Hrvatske Europskoj uniji u

tijeku je faza analitikoga pregleda i ocjena usklaenosti hrvatskoga zakonodavstva s pravnom steevinom
Europske unije. Osnovna je svrha analitikoga pregleda utvrditi postojee razlike izmeu zakonodavstva
Republike Hrvatske kao drave kandidatkinje i pravne steevine Europske unije kako bi se mogli definirati
potrebni koraci i potrebno vrijeme za potpuno usklaivanje i punu provedbu usklaenoga zakonodavstva.
Tijekom cjelokupnoga trajanja pregovora potrebno je prevesti razne dokumente na engleski jezik,
a posebno je sloena zadaa prijevod hrvatskih pravnih propisa.
Sposobnost i spremnost Republike Hrvatske za aktivno sudjelovanje u viejezinoj Europskoj uniji
oslikavaju takoer i prijevodi. Kako bi se osiguralo da ti prijevodi budu kvalitetni i toni, Samostalna sluba
za prevoenje iz podruja europskih integracija svoja znanja i spoznaje iz svakodnevne prakse skupila je
u Priruniku koji je pred Vama.
Ovim e se Prirunikom sluiti svi suradnici MVPEI-a pri prevoenju, a dobro e doi i svima koji
se bave takvom vrstom prevoenja u neke druge svrhe.

Prirunik za prevoenje pravnih propisa Republike Hrvatske na engleski jezik sastoji se od nekoliko
dijelova. Na poetku je poglavlje koje je posebno vano za nae suradnike prevoditelje koji nisu po struci
pravnici. Prof. dr. sc. Susan arevi govori o problematici prevoenja pravnih propisa te o objektivnom
prenoenju izvornoga teksta i vjernosti prijevoda. Kako je uvijek lake prevoditi ako se ima cjelovita slika,
a ne samo jedan mali djeli, napravili smo kratki pregled pravnoga sustava Republike Hrvatske, osvrt na
postupak donoenja zakona, te je prof. dr. sc. Susan arevi posebno detaljno obradila prevoenje pojedinih
pravnih odredaba. U drugom dijelu Prirunika za prevoenje pravnih propisa Republike Hrvatske na engleski
jezik prikazani su obrasci hrvatskih pravnih propisa s prijevodom na engleski jezik. U treem su dijelu
navedeni glosari s nazivima tijela javne vlasti, radnih mjesta, poloaja i ustrojstvenih jedinica te termini
vezani uz pravo. Zadnji dio Prirunika ini Style Guide for Croatian Legislation, koji nije sveobuhvatan vodi
kroz gramatiku i jezinu uporabu, ve pregled najvanijih dvojbi s kojima se susree govornik hrvatskoga
jezika u prevoenju na engleski. Taj je dio nastao temeljem slinih prirunika Europske komisije (English
Style Guide) i Ureda za publikacije Europske unije (Interinstitutional Style Guide) i dobar je dio materijala
preuzet izravno iz njih, uz naravno potrebne prilagodbe. Cilj mu je da dodatno osigura konzistentnost ne
samo prijevoda legislative ve i svih drugih tekstova koji se odnose na integraciju Republike Hrvatske. Ovom
prilikom zahvaljujemo Opoj upravi za prevoenje Europske komisije te Uredu za publikacije Europske unije

U ovom opsenom i sloenom poslu nuno je uspostaviti neka pravila kojih se trebaju drati svi vanjski
suradnici Samostalne slube za prevoenje iz podruja europskih integracija kako bi se sauvala konzistentnost i
ujednaenost prijevoda. Od naih vanjskih suradnika oekujemo da Prirunik paljivo proitaju i slijede ponuena
rjeenja i obrasce. U prevoenju pravnih tekstova, za razliku od druge vrste prevoenja odnosno pisanja, ponavljanje
je vrlina, a ne mana! Nije doputena interpretacija teksta, ve treba slijediti original i obratiti posebnu pozornost
na to da se neto ne ispusti pa makar to znailo viestruko navoenje jednih te istih dijelova teksta, lanaka ili
ponavljanja (npr.: ovoga lanka, ovoga zakona itd.). Bez pretenzija da propisuje, Samostalna sluba za
prevoenje iz podruja europskih integracija, temeljem svojega intenzivnoga rada i suradnje s brojnim vanjskim
suradnicima, predlae rjeenja za koja smatra da su za sada dobro posluila u praksi. Kao i uvijek otvoreni smo
za sve komentare i argumentirane sugestije koje emo paljivo razmotriti.

3. KRATKI OSVRT NA POSTUPAK DONOENJA ZAKONA
Postupak donoenja zakona ovdje je shematski prikazan. Inicijativa za pripremu novoga zakonskoga
propisa upuuje se ministarstvu u ijem djelokrugu rada lei podruje koje se eli regulirati novim zakonskim
propisom. Radna skupina zaduena za taj prijedlog priprema Radni nacrt prijedloga zakona, koji nakon
dodatnih internih miljenja unutar samoga ministarstva resorni ministar upuuje Vladi Republike Hrvatske
kao Nacrt prijedloga zakona.
Prema Odluci Vlade Republike Hrvatske o mjerama u postupku usklaivanja zakonodavstva Republike
Hrvatske s acquis communautaireom iz 2001.g., tijela dravne uprave su u pripremi prijedloga propisa,
kojima se usklauje zakonodavstvo RH s acquis communautaireom, obvezna popuniti Izjavu o usklaenosti
(nacrta) prijedloga propisa s acquis communautaireom (vidi II. 4. 1.) i izraditi Usporedni prikaz podudaranja
odredbi propisa (vidi II. 4. 2.). Izjava o usklaenosti i Usporedni prikaz dostavljaju se Ministarstvu vanjskih
poslova i europskih integracija zajedno s nacrtom prijedloga propisa na provjeru i potvrivanje njihove
usklaenosti.
Zatim Vlada Republike Hrvatske upuuje Prijedlog zakona Hrvatskomu saboru na usvajanje. U
Hrvatskom saboru svaki prijedlog zakona prolazi dva, a u iznimnim sluajevima tri itanja prije usvajanja.
Tekst zakona potpisuje predsjednik Hrvatskoga sabora. Usvojeni zakon objavljuje se u Narodnim novinama.
Isti se postupak primjenjuje na zakone o izmjenama i dopunama zakona.

jasno vide razine. Razumljivo je da svaki zakonski propis ne mora nuno imati odredbe na svim razinama.
A. Odluka o proglaenju
B. Naslov
C. Uvodni dio (odredbe koje vrijede za cijeli propis):
- svrha
- ciljevi
- znaenje pojmova
- temeljne definicije
D. Sredinji dio (odredbe koje slue za ostvarivanje postavljenih ciljeva):
- materijalne odredbe
- institucionalne odredbe
- postupovne odredbe
E. Kaznene odredbe
F. Prijelazne odredbe:
- odredbe o donoenju propisa nie razine
- odredbe o ustrojavanju propisanoga sustava
- odredbe o rjeavanju zaostalih pitanja nastalih pod reimom ranijega propisnika
G. Zavrne odredbe:
- prostorno vaenje
- vremensko vaenje
- objavljivanje

se samo od dispozicije. Tada govorimo o dispozitivnoj odredbi.

Pravne norme odnosno odredbe imaju openormativnu funkciju, iako u njima ima ne samo normativnih

Meutim, ista vrsta odredbe ne izraava se na isti nain u razliitim pravnim sustavima, pa stoga prevoditelj

Valja spomenuti da Joint Practical Guide Europske unije preporuuje izbjegavanje upotrebe futura u
pravnim odredbama u engleskom i u francuskom jeziku gdje je god to mogue. Isto vrijedi, u pravilu, i za
hrvatske propise jer zakoni imaju bezvremensku funkciju. Izuzeci su hrvatske odredbe koje nose elemente
traenja i sankcije, npr. pri odreivanju sankcija u kaznenim i drugim zakonima:

od trebati, upotreba morati daje jasno na znanje da neispunjavanje obveza ini dotini akt, dokument ili postupak
nevaljan. Kad je hrvatska odredba formulirana s morati, prevoditelj moe koristiti shall ili must, ali prednost ipak
ima must. U pravilu, modal must se upotrebljava za izraavanje odredaba u kojima vritelj radnje nije naveden niti
poznat iz konteksta, dakle, uglavnom u pasivnim reenicama. Must se takoer koristi u odredbama koje zahtijevaju

1.2. CAPITALISATION
Note the form of the title itself, i.e. how the position of the word act is optional whereas subordinate
legislation has the obligatory form:
type of the legal act + on.. :
Capitalise specific references, but lower-case general references.
Specific institutions
Act on the Croatian Chamber of Architects and Civil Engineers

but for shorter acts it is possible to pre-modify the word Act:
Capitalise all nouns and adjectives in designations of specific institutions, their subdivisions (directorates,
Road Traffic Safety Act
departments, sections), committees, working parties and the like:
State Administration System Act
Ministry of European Integration
Public Procurement Act
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration
Croatian Competition Agency
State Office for Standardisation and Metrology
Department for European Community Programmes
Ordinance on the technical requirements and type-approval procedure relating to front fog lamps for
motor vehicles and their trailers
Ordinance on measures for the control and eradication of brucellosis and conditions for establishing
the health status of ovine and caprine herds in relation to brucellosis
In cases where this rule would produce a long series of capitalised words, use discretion, especially where the
name of a department, committee or programme reads more like a description of its function than a real title:
Committee for the adaptation to technical progress of the Directive on the introduction of recording
equipment in road transport (tachograph).

Regulation on the limitations of use of radio frequencies
Regulation on the procedure for granting a concession on maritime demesne
Decision on the appointment of government officials in charge of the ISPA Programme management
Joint MAFWM/MEPPPC working party on forest and forest product statistics
NB: Note the difference between secondary (acquis communautaire) and subordinate legislation
(Croatian legislation)
Non-specific references
Use lower case for non-specific references:
Official titles
The Ministry of Justice is one of the 13 ministries.
The European Affairs Committee is one of the parliamentary committees.
The Court of Justice rules on matters referred to it by courts or tribunals in the Member States.
It was decided to set up a number of working groups.
Capitalise the titles of officials and their offices:

The current President of the Council is the Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
Director-General for Translation is Juhani Lnnroth.
Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration, visited the Czech
Republic yesterday.
Legislative instrument
NB: The word Ministry is usually followed by of something (see list in III.1.1.).
Capitalise references to specific acts, ordinances, regulations:

The Ordinance on measures for the control and eradication of honeybee diseases entered into force in 2004.
On 21 October 2003 the Croatian Parliament adopted the Chemicals Act.
Ministers always have a responsibility for a particular area. However, of is more frequently used, therefore
but use lower case for general references:

Ministry of
we have opted for of:
It was felt that an act rather than an ordinance was the appropriate instrument.
Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration
Volume, chapter, section, article should have an initial capital when followed by a numeral, whereas paragraph,
Minister of Defence
subparagraph and item should have a lowercase letter.
Minister of the Interior, etc.
Payment of the tax referred to in Article 16, paragraph 2, item 4 of this Act
The payment referred to in other articles...
Croatian legislation titles

Be aware that Croatian acts are capitalised in full, whereas ordinances, regulations, decisions, etc. are only
capitalised in the first word.
82
83
Political entities
Compass points
Capitalise references to specific political entities; use lower case when the reference is general, e.g.:
No capitals are used for north, north-west, north-western, etc. unless they form part of an administrative
the (Croatian) Government
the Member States (of the EU)
or political unit or a distinct regional entity. Hence South Africa, Northern Ireland but southern Africa,
the Baltic States
the State (where reference is to a specific state,
northern France. Note, however, Central and Eastern European countries (capitalised because the
e.g. the Republic of Croatia)
connotations are more political than geographic). Compass bearings are abbreviated with a capital and

but
without a full stop (54E).
nation states
a matter for governments
Compound compass points are hyphenated and, in official designations, each part is capitalised (South-
the Croatian authorities
state-owned
West Germany, the North-West Frontier); always abbreviate as capitals without space between the letters
(NWFrance).
Capitalise names of political parties and organisations:

the Socialist Group
the Liberal Party
a liberal
a conservative, etc.
Proprietary names
but

Proprietary names (or trade names) are normally capitalised, unless they have become generic terms, such
as aspirin, gramophone, linoleum, nylon, celluloid. Thus, capitalise registered trade names such as Airbus,
Boeing, Land-Rover, Polaroid.
International agreements, conferences etc.

Follow the same specific/general rule for treaties, conventions, arrangements, understandings, protocols, etc.:

Stabilisation and Association Agreement
Place names
Treaty of Paris
Capitalise all parts of recognised geographical names and political divisions: North Pole, Northern Ireland,
International Tin Agreement
River Plate, Scandinavian Peninsula, the Baltic States, Lower Bavaria.
European Partnership
Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe
Quotations
Start with a capital in running text only if the quotation is a complete sentence in itself:
but

by treaty
under an agreement
the parties agreed to a memorandum of understanding
Aristotle once said Law is order, and good law is good order.
but
NB: Titles of important international documents should normally be checked in the original. In such cases,
back-translation is not an option, as for the titles as for the parts of these documents such as the titles of
the chapters, subchapters, etc. Therefore, the basic documents concerning European Integration such as
the European Partnership, SAA, National Programme for the Integration of the Republic of Croatia into the
European Union, the Opinion on the application of Croatia for membership of the European Union (Avis)
and similar are necessary as reference. Also, in references to the institutions or documents whose name has
The American Government favours a two-way street in arms procurement.
Derivations from proper nouns

Words derived from proper nouns usually take a capital (e.g. Bunsen burner, degrees Fahrenheit). Consult an
up-to-date dictionary. However, not all such adjectives take a capital:

arabic (numerals)
french (chalk, polish, windows)
morocco (leather)
roman (type)
been changed, it is vital that the name in force at the time is used and not replaced by the new name.
Permanent and ad hoc bodies
1.3. HYPHENS AND COMPOUND WORDS
Distinguish between the Commission Delegation in the United States, the UK Commission, etc. (permanent),
and delegation to a meeting (ad hoc group of persons).
General
NB: The title European Commission is current usage, but in legal texts, the form Commission of the

European Communities must be used.
compounds have followed precisely those steps: (data base * data-base * database). Use hyphens sparingly
but to good purpose: the phrase crude oil production statistics needs a hyphen to tell the reader whether

Sometimes hyphens are essential to clarify the sense:
Nouns formed from phrasal verbs
re-cover
recover
These are often hyphenated, but the situation is fluid and US usage (no hyphen) is increasingly being adopted
re-creation
recreation
in British English:
re-form
reform
re-count
recount
handout
takeover
comeback
follow-up
run-up
spin-off
but

Some examples
The rules for hyphenation are complex and not always helpful. The primary purpose of hyphenation should
Present participles of phrasal verbs
be to enhance clarity. Avoid overuse of hyphens. Compound terms used before a noun (attributively) tend to
When used attributively these are generally hyphenated:
be hyphenated more frequently than similar terms used following the noun. Note the following examples:
cooling-off period
setting-up stage
well-known problem
broad-based programme
two-day meeting
user-friendly software
Avoiding double consonants and vowels
balance-of-payments policy
cost-of-living index
Hyphens are often used to avoid juxtaposing two consonants or two vowels:
long-term investment
non-co-operation
aero-elastic
anti-intellectual
part-time
large-scale project
re-entry
re-examine
re-election
but

policy for the long term
Hyphen omitted
production on a large scale
As compounds become established, the hyphen is often omitted in frequently used words:
Adverbs that end in -ly
bookkeeping
macroeconomic
In adverb-participle modifiers, no hyphen is used when the adverb ends in -ly.
radioactive
subsection
a fully indexed pension
a broadly based programme
socioeconomic
a beautifully phrased sentence

Numbers and fractions
Numbers take hyphens when they are spelled out. Fractions take hyphens when used attributively, but not
Chemical terms
when used as nouns:
Note that open compounds designating chemical substances do not take a hyphen in the attributive position:
boric acid solution
twenty-eight, two-thirds completed

but
sodium chloride powder

an increase of two thirds
Prefixes
Prefixes before proper names
Prefixes are usually hyphenated in recent or ad hoc coinages:

anti-smoking campaign
co-responsibility levies
co-sponsor
Prefixes before proper names are hyphenated:
ex-army
non-resident
non-flammable
pro-American
pre-school
quasi-autonomous
trans-European (exception: transatlantic)
If prefixes are of Latin or Greek origin, however, they tend to drop the hyphen as they become established:

antibody
subcommittee
subparagraph
Two-word terms are more resistant to losing the hyphen:

end-user
all-embracing
end-product
case-law
off-duty
off-market operations
endgame
waterproof
overalls
but

Words with co- still retain the hyphen in British spelling:

co-operation
non-co-operation
co-produce
co-administration
86
mid-Atlantic
Co-ordination of compounds
Hyphenated compounds should be co-ordinated as follows:

gamma- and beta-emitters
hot- and cold-rolled products
acid- and heat-resistant
Where compounds are not hyphenated (closed compounds), they should not be coordinated but written out in full:

agricultural inputs and outputs
minicomputers and microcomputers
macrostructural and microstructural changes
prenatal and postnatal effects
macro- and micro-structural changes
pre- and post-natal effects
or
co-ordinate

intra-Community
87
not

macro- and microstructural changes pre- and postnatal effects
mini- and microcomputers
2.2. COLON
agricultural in- and outputs

No preceding space
Closed compounds in technical texts
Colons should be closed up to the preceding word:
There are two major categories. Firstly, those that consist of pairs of short native English words:
sugarbeet
groundwater
wetfish
foodstuffs
yellowcake
shortgrasses
2.3. COMMA
Secondly, there is the highly productive category of compounds derived from Greek or Latin stems:

keratoderma
The United Kingdom comprises four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
keratomalacia
keratolytic
phyllophaga
phyllopod
Clarity
Rules for the use of the comma are vague and include many exceptions. Personal judgement is often
required and should be guided by considerations of clarity.
2. PUNCTUATION
Do not feel bound by the punctuation of the original document, as far as the inner structure of a sentence
is concerned. Punctuation rules and conventions vary from one language to another. However, as opposed
to other categories of translating where sentences can be combined, cut and similar, when translating legal
documents it is unacceptable to do so.
Meaning of sentence changed

On occasion, the insertion or deletion of commas can completely change the meaning of a sentence:

The ambassador did not die as reported, (i.e. the circumstances were different from those reported)
The ambassador did not die, as reported, (i.e. he is still living)
Non-defining relative clauses

Non-defining relative clauses must be set off by commas to distinguish them from relative clauses that
2.1. FULL STOP

Avoidance of double punctuation

If a sentence ends with an abbreviation that takes a full stop (e.g. etc.) or a quotation complete in itself that ends
in a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark before the final quotation marks, no further full stop is required:

The translations which have been revised can now be typed. (Defines the subset that is to be typed
only those that have been revised are to be typed.)

revised can now be typed.
The full stop is normally deleted from headings. An exception is run-in side headings, which are followed by
a full stop in English typographical practice.
Inserted phrases
Use two commas, or none at all, for inserted text.
Contractions
A full stop follows abbreviations unless the last letter of the word is included:

No

Local self-governments may, in compliance with the provisions of this Act, issue binding
Strings of adjectives
Co.
Several adjectives all modifying a later noun but not each other should be separated by commas:

Latin abbreviations
moderate, stable prices
Write all Latin abbreviations in roman type, followed by a full stop:
Where the last adjective is part of the core, however, it is not preceded by a comma:
i.e.
e.g.
op. cit.
ibid.
et al.
et seq.

88
moderate, stable agricultural prices
Here, moderate and stable each separately modify the core agricultural prices.
NB (see p. 98, 5.1.)
89
Plurals of figures
2.4. BRACKETS
Plurals of figures do not require an apostrophe:

Square [ ] and round ( ) brackets are not interchangeable.
2.8. THE OBLIQUE or SOLDIUS
2.5. DASH VS. HYPHEN

Hyphens are shorter than dashes. Both hyphens (-) and dashes () are available in modern word processors.

Pilots of 747s undergo special training.
In Microsoft Word: the dash = Ctrl + num- (minus sign on the number keypad)
Alternatives, per, fractions

The oblique stroke, also known as the diagonal, solidus or slash, is used for alternatives (and/or), to mean
per (km/day) and with fractions (19/100).
A hyphen is used to join co-ordinate or contrast pairs (a current-voltage graph; the height-depth ratio). These
are not subject to hyphenation rules.
Years
Marketing years, financial years, etc. that do not coincide with calendar years are denoted by a forward
slash, e.g. 2001/02, which is 12 months, rather than by a dash, e.g. 2001-02, which means two years.
2.6. QUOTATION MARKS

3. ITALICS
Use quotation marks as sparingly as possible for purposes other than actual quotation.
NB: The official gazette of the Republic of Croatia is called Narodne novine and is often translated in
many ways, in both italics and quotation marks. However, regardless of the original style, it SHOULD
always be translated in this form:

Official Gazette + the number itself (words No and Nos are unnecessary, as is the comma)
e.g. Official Gazette 25/05 or OG 25/05

NB: Do not enclose titles of books, newspapers or foreign-language expressions in quotation marks, since
they are usually displayed in italics.
use quotation marks rather than italics.

NB: Always use italics with the phrase acquis communautaire.
Quotations
Quotations that are not being translated, such as the actual wording of other documents, should be placed in quotation
marks without italicising the text. A translation of the quotation should follow in quotation marks, in square brackets.
U lijevom gornjem dijelu adresne strane malog paketa poiljatelj je obvezan staviti oznaku MALI
Double vs. single quotation marks

Use double quotation marks as the first choice and single marks for quotations within these.

Italics must not be used simultaneously with quotation marks. To cite quotations from books and periodicals,
The Minister noted: In the text of the new act a four-wheeled vehicle means....

NB: The comma is used in all languages, except English, to separate the whole numbers from the
decimals. The whole numbers are presented in series of three, each series separated by a thin space (and

not by a point). Decimals are grouped in a single block:
Do not start a sentence with a figure or a symbol followed by a figure. Either move it further back in the

sentence, or write it out. Useful devices include inversions, such as:
Consistency
In all...,
Of the total, 55 million ...
In deciding whether to write numbers as words or figures, the first consideration should be consistency
within a document.
Currency abbreviation
For a series of numbers in running text, use figures:
The currency abbreviation precedes the amount and is followed by a space:
The ages of the eight members of the city council are 69, 64, 58, 54 (two members), 47, 45 and 35.
EUR 2 million
If there are several numbers applicable to the same category in a paragraph and numerals must be used for
The currency symbol, however, if it must be used is closed up:
one of them then, for consistencys sake, numerals should be used for all the numbers in the paragraph:
2m

117 in...
Currency written out

In running text, currencies are written in lower case:
With symbols and abbreviations
two million euro
Always use figures with units of measurement denoted by symbols or abbreviations:

EUR 50 or fifty euro
Currency sub-units
250 kW or two hundred and fifty kilowatts
Use a full stop to separate units from sub-units (in Croatian a comma is used):
205 g or two hundred and five micrograms
In English: HRK 1 000.00
In Croatian: 1.000,00 HRK
The converse does not hold, however; numbers qualifying units of measurement that are spelled out may be
written with figures:

250 kilowatts
NB: One of the most common mistakes made by translators is not translating the numbers from Croatian
500 miles
into English, i.e. not replacing decimal commas with points.
Currencies
Figures and words combined

Do not combine single-digit figures and words by means of hyphens but write them out:
The kuna
Be very careful with Croatian currency. In legal texts only this form should be used according to the ISO
code: HRK + the amount.
A fine in the amount of at least HRK 5 000.00 shall be imposed on a contractor who in respect of
marking the road with traffic signs fails to comply with the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of this
Article.

Compound attributes
Compound attributes that include numbers must be hyphenated:
NB: The name of the currency kuna is invariable (no plural)
92

93
Compound numbers
4.2. FRACTIONS
Compound numbers that are to be written out (e.g. in treaty texts) take a hyphen, whether cardinal
or ordinal:

the thirty-first day of December, nineteen hundred and eighty-one
Written out
Insert hyphens in fractions used as adverbs or adjectives but not if they are nouns:
Adjacent numbers
a two-thirds increase
When two numbers are adjacent, it is often preferable to spell out one of them:
an increase of two thirds
ninety 50-gram weights
two-thirds completed
seventy 25-cent stamps

Figure-word combinations
Large numbers
Avoid combining figures and words:
With hundreds and thousands, etc. there is a choice of using figures or words:

not
300 or three hundred, not 3 hundred
EUR 3 000 or three thousand euro, not EUR 3 thousand
Million and billion, however, may be combined with figures:

2.5 million
EUR 3 million
2/3 finished
Decimal point
31 billion
When translating, replace decimal commas with points.
Grouping of thousands
Accuracy
Do not use either commas or full stops but insert protected spaces.

two-thirds finished
In quoting statistics, 3.5 (as in 3.5%) is not the same as 3.50; each decimal place, even if zero, adds
4 000 000
to accuracy.
NB: Serial numbers (such as pages) are not grouped in thousands, except for money.
Obligatory use of figures
4.3. INCLUSIVE NUMBERS
Use figures, not words, for temperatures, times, distances (about 5 kilometres), percentages, peoples ages
and votes (2 delegations were in favour, 7 against, and 1 abstained).
Legal references should also be in figures (Chapter 5, Section 9, Article 4).
Written out
To indicate a range of numbers in a sentence, repeat the symbols and multiples (i.e. thousand, million, etc.):
Billion
Be careful to note the difference between the use of billion and million. Billion is used to designate thousand
million and is now officially recognised by the European Commission. It is standard usage in official
Community publications. This is also North American usage. However, use 1 000 million in preference to
from HRK 20 million to HRK 30 million

Abbreviated form (with a hyphen)

If the symbol or multiple remains the same, a closed-up hyphen may be inserted between the figures:

10-70C
EUR 20-30 million
Abbreviations for million and billion
Leave a blank space on either side of the hyphen if the symbol or multiple changes:
The letters m and bn can be used for sums of money to avoid frequent repetitions of million, billion; this

Calendar vs. financial year

Note that 1990-91 is two years. Single marketing years, financial years, etc. that do not coincide with
calendar years, are denoted by a forward slash, e.g. 1990/91, which is 12 months or less.
4.4. ROMAN NUMERALS
Roman numerals are used in Croatian legislation usually to number Parts, Titles or Chapters. As is the case

Definition
An acronym is defined as a word formed from the initial letters of other words (e.g. NATO, UNESCO).
Acronyms, in which each letter or part is pronounced separately, are called initialisms (e.g. BBC, DNA). In
this Handbook initialisms are not treated separately.
4.5. DATES

Month written out
Most acronyms of five or fewer letters take the upper case throughout, without full stops.

Note: In the international dating system 23 July 1997 is 1997-07-23. (In American usage it is 7:25:97.)
Decades
When referring to decades, write the 1990s (no apostrophe) and not the nineties.
Longer acronyms
Eras
The letters AD come before the year number (AD 2000), as do AH (anno Hegirae) in the Islamic calendar.

5.3. SCIENTIFIC SYMBOLS AND UNITS OF MEASUREMENT
Viz. and cf.

Use namely as opposed to viz. (videlicet) which means that is to say and is used in much the same way as
a colon. The abbreviation cf. (confer - compare) is acceptable (do not change it to see).
General
Most scientific symbols in current use are interlingual forms and one should normally be able to reproduce them

capitalisation and punctuation conventions of the original, such as GmbH (German). In general, abbreviations
denoting the nature of a commercial entity should not be translated. The same is, of course, with the name
of the Croatian companies containing the abbreviations d.o.o. or d.d., e.g.

Zagrebaka banka d.d.
Names of units of measurement

Names of basic and derived units of measurement are always lower-cased, even if they are derived from a
personal name:

ampere
kelvin
Contact
They have normal plurals in -s:
The following abbreviations are used:
250 volts
hertz
newton
pascal
watt
siemens
50 watts
Tel. with full stop and without colon;
Fax without colon;
Symbols for units of measurement
Telex without colon;
These are normally abridged forms of the unit names. They are written without full stops, are not closed up

20 m/s
55 dB
2 000 kc/s
NB
Capitalisation of units of measurement
Abbreviate Nota Bene as NB (not N.B. see p. 88, 2.1.).
The initial letter of symbols for SI units derived from personal names is always capitalised:
No and Nos
No as in No 1 (a contraction of numero, not an abbreviation) is never followed by a full stop.
Bq (becquerel)
N (newton)
K (kelvin)
Symbols derived from generic nouns are always lower-cased:

5.2. MATHEMATICAL SYMBOLS
Hz (hertz)
1m (lumen)
lx (lux)
mol (mole)
cd (candela)
Ohm
The ohm symbol is capital omega (). All other SI symbols for units of measurement are formed from

6. PERSONAL NAMES AND TITLES
In 1985 the derived units curie (Ci), rad (rad) and rem (rem) were officially superseded by the becquerel
(Bq), gray (Gy) and sievert (Sv) respectively, but many scientists continue to use the older terms. Follow the
Translating personal academic titles presents a great difficulty mostly due to the fact that educational
usage of the source document.

NB: The name and symbol are identical in the case of the rad and rem.
systems vary from country to country. Most of these translations cannot transpose the academic level of the
subject.
The mission of the department translating the Croatian legislation is to present the normative texts of the
Quantities and values

The quantity length is measured with the unit metre (m), and a value is an instance of such a measurement,
e.g. 350. Likewise the quantity absorbed dose is measured with the unit gray (Gy); 207 Gy is a value
instantiating such a measurement.
Republic of Croatia to the institutions of the European Union in English language. Our legal experts agree
on the fact that this difficulty can be avoided and omitted as this will present no harm to the document as
regards the abovementioned mission.
However, there are cases when titles need to be translated. Here are some of the most frequently used titles:
Internal capitals

Nuclear reactors
Nuclear reactor types are identified by upper case abbreviations: LWR, AGR, etc. Note that there is no
hyphen in fast breeder reactor (a fast reactor that also breeds fissile material).
prof. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Prof.
NB: When translating normative texts into English, such as Croatian legislation, omit all degree titles
listed with a personal name (e.g. the Croatian titles: prof., dr., mr.sc., dipl. ing., etc.). Of course,
everything else in the text must be translated as in the original.
Chemical elements
The names of the chemical elements start with a lower-case letter, including elements whose designations
are derived from proper names:

californium
einsteinium

are used the best solution is often both pronouns, i.e. he/she. Other solutions include the following:
1) eliminate the pronoun completely;
Radioisotopes
When written out, radioisotopes are indicated by the name of the element followed by the mass number
separated by a closed-up hyphen:

uranium-232
plutonium-236
plutonium-239
carbon-14
2) repeat the noun;

3) use a neutral word such as one, individual; and
4) use both pronouns, i.e. he/she.
5) however, do not use s/he!
Science publications now use the new convention in which the mass number is raised and immediately
Gender-specific
precedes the elements name:

14
In gender-specific contexts, such as mother of the child, use of appropriate masculine or feminine

pronouns is a matter of common sense.
Follow the convention in the source document.

The names of genera, species and subspecies (varieties, cultivars) are always italicised.

11. FOOTNOTES AND ENDNOTES
Non-technical usage
Some scientific plant names are identical with the vernacular name and should not be capitalised or
italicised when used non-technically:
Follow the original, noting a difference between footnotes and endnotes (notes placed at the end of a
document).

13.1. SPELLING
Lists
Doubling of consonants
When translating lists, you should always use the same type of numbering as in the original, e.g. Arabic
In British usage (unlike US), a final -/ is doubled after a single vowel when -ing or -ed is added (sole
numerals, small letters, Roman numerals. If the original has bullets or dashes, use these. Also, take care not
exception: parallel, paralleled):
to change syntactical horses in midstream, e.g. from noun to verb, even if the original does so.
total, totalling, totalled
level, levelling, levelled
Tables
In general, follow the format of the original. Tables inset in text matter should never be introduced with a colon.
Figures and symbols in tables
Figures and internationally recognised symbols in tables are language-independent elements and should not
normally have to be retyped if the original is available in electronic format.

kvadratani metar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . m2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . square metre

104
Other consonants are doubled only if the last syllable of the root verb is stressed or carries a strong
secondary stress:

admit, admitting, admitted
refer, referring, referred
format, formatting, formatted
handicap, handicapping, handicapped

but
benefit, benefiting, benefited
combating, combating, combated
target, targeting, targeted
focus, focusing, focused
develop, developing, developed
105
Input and output

In a data processing context, avoid the forms input(t)ed and output(t)ed; write input and output:

70 000 records were input last month
Ageing
Note the spelling of age, ageing.
13.2. AGREEMENT
Collective nouns
Use a singular verb when the emphasis is on the whole entity:

The Government is considering the matter.
The Advisory Committee has met twice this year.
Use the plural when the emphasis is on the individual members:

but

The majority is ...
The number of people is ...
The singular is used more with the definite article, while the plural is used more with the indefinite
article.
V.
Institutions, organisations and countries

Institutions, organisations and most countries take the singular:

The United States is ...
The Commission was not informed.
The Netherlands has agreed ...
Od prevoditelja se oekuje da se slue informacijama koje su dostupne na Internetu te da nazive institucija,
Dual subject
A singular verb is common in English with a dual subject if it is felt to form a whole:

Popis nekih korisnih internetskih stranica
Checking and stamping the forms is the job of the customs authorities.
Percentages and money

Percentages can be treated as either singular or plural. Sums of money can take a singular or
plural verb:

Only 10 per cent of those eligible were likely to ...
EUR 2 million was made available, of which 56 per cent has been...
