fino ad ora - in quanto


Explanation:
Even though the context is not really clear, "insofar" can be translated as follow:
in quanto
nella misura in cui
fino ad ora

depending on context really.
I hope this helps

PS: you might use "per quanto" as well, as I said the context doesn't say much.

agree  Claire Restivo: In quanto. Absolutely.

agree  Leonarda Coviello: D'accordo con "per Quanto" Anche se l'asker ha scritto solo "insofar", sembra chiaro che la locuzione interessata in questo caso sia "insofar AS", che l'oxford-paravia on line traduce appunto con "per quanto".Il che risolverebbe anche i probl.di contesto.
