Notes to answerer
Asker: Muriel, Icouldn't remove it. I don't know how. What I was able to do was add a note about the context. If you want to remove it. Please feel free to do so. Although I believe everybody that uses this group understands that translations always depend on context... thank you very much. It is good to know people are still worried about being precise. Have a nice week.
