Law/Patents - Petroleum Eng/Sci / Production sharing Contract
Indonesian term or phrase: akan tetap mendukung kelangsungan contrak
Use of tetap:

Can you ignore tetap and translate as "will support the continuation of the contract"?
My second preference would be "will keep supporting the continuation of the contract"
My third preference is the literal "will continue to support the continuation of the contract"
Paul Ellis
English translation:will keep supporting the continuation of the contract
Explanation:
Your second sentence sounds better since those sentences (English and Indonesian) imply the future action. Anyway, there is a misspelling for the word contract. In Indonesian it should be "kontrak". Good luck!

That words "will keep supporting" also emphasized "the persistence" of the action like the word "akan tetap mendukung".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you. "Contrak" was my mistake!

Asker: We actually ended up using: "will maintain its support for the continuation of the contract" which we believe preserves the meaning of "tetap" but in a better English style.
