ressaltando

[tab226]

Hi,
what does this mean in the context of editing a document or advertisement?
Thank you,
-TAB

 

[tab226]

for more context, here is the sentence I am editing:
the Agency is responsible for correction of all the communication parts regarding the use of the Portuguese language, standing out current norms of composition, references to third parties (citation of names, companies, etc), grafias of public domain, acuraóidade of dates, etc.

I'm a bit confused. You ask about a Portuguese word, but your sentence is in English!

 

[tab226]

I am editing a translation of Portuguese into English. I think the translator used translation software that missed a few words in this paragraph. (it takes me forever to retype portuguese, sorry).

Hello:
ressaltar=to stand out
And ressaltando is the -ing form: I am standing out this sentence.
But I need more context, por example: Where do that word appear?
I do not if I understood your question.
Wait for others´opinions.

sorry again, some body was helping me, and typed standing out over ressaltando.

fig.,
encomiar;

dicionário Priberam

It's still a bit difficult to find the right word, although Araceli's suggestion seems good. A few others: "to point out", "to underline", "to emphasize"...?

 

[tab226]

Emphasize is perfect. Thanks!

Hello,


a little late, perhaps.
Yes, the idea is to emphasize, I think the corresponding word in English
in this way is " to highlight", only that the gerund was used.

I think your translation is the best so far, Vanda.
