competitive sector

[Paddie]

Hey I am looking to translate the following sentence:

In the highly competitive sector of IT support.......

dans le secteur conncurentiel ? seems too franglais to me!!

 

[zt_p]

dans la jungle des NTIC

 

[Paddie]

hahah super merci mais ce n'est pas exactement la traduction que je cherche....

In French, it sounds right ( i mean that it is not as colloquial as it is in English)... but if you prefer sth more formal : < dans le secteur tres concurrentiel des NTIC>

Hi,

I would suggest "Dans le secteur hautement concurrentiel..." (I don't know how to translate IT support) or "Dans le secteur très concurrentiel..."

In spoken language, I wouldn't use "hautement concurrentiel", which sounds too formal. But in written language both are good.

... and I would add that "compétitif" is a false friend!

"Un produit compétitif" is a product that outsands competitors'. So a "secteur compétitif" would be a sector which is better than another sector... That doesn't really make sense.
