Can I get some French- English translation help?

I'm trying to translate a birth certificate from the Ivory Coast so I can file a client's I-485. Babel Fish translation are not wanted. Here's what I need help with:





_____________________________________


Centre d'etat civil





Extrait Du Registre des Actes de naissance pour l'annee


______________________________________鈥?br>




I know enough French to understand the message, but not enough to translate literally.|||Janstard gave you a good answer. It is Centre for marital status


and Extract from the Registry of birth certificates for year ,,,,,(insert year).|||Registry of births, marriages and deaths.





Extract from the Register of births for the year|||I assume you mean "translate it conversationally" so as to maintain the idiom. Literally would be without the idiom and that's what makes babelfish et al translations seem so stilted.





State Civil Center (for this to make sense their should be a letterhead or other identifier showing what "State" refers to). In essence this is the courthouse, though I would be leery to translate it into that since they may actually call it "state civil center" in the Gold Coast (Cote d'Ivoire).





Excerpt from Birth Registry for years (this should be followed by a range of years, like 1900-1920)|||_______________________________...


Center of marital status





Extract of the register of the birth certificates for the year





_______________________________...|||Center of marital status





Extract of the Register of the Birth certificates for the year|||center civil state


extract from the registrator of birth certificate for the year|||Center of marital status





Extract Of the Register of the Birth certificates for the year
