1हिंदी विज्ञापन में आय, योग्यता और अंतिम तिथि की अस्पष्टता
यदि अंग्रेज़ी मसौदे में 'before 15 July' लिखा है और हिंदी में '15 जुलाई तक' लिखा जा रहा है, तो क्या यह समान अर्थ है? नहीं, दोनों समान नहीं हैं। अंग्रेज़ी 'before 15 July' 15 जुलाई को बाहर रखता है; हिंदी '15 जुलाई तक' सामान्यतः 15 जुलाई को सम्मिलित करता है। भर्ती सूचना में इस अंतर से एक दिन का अंतर पड़ सकता है और अभ्यर्थी की योग्यता पर विवाद हो सकता है। निर्णय: मूल अंग्रेज़ी मसौदे को प्रामाणिक मानें। यदि अभीप्सित अर्थ '15 जुलाई से पहले' है, तो हिंदी में '14 जुलाई, 2025 की रात्रि 11:59 बजे तक' या '15 जुलाई, 2025 से पहले' लिखें। यदि अभीप्सित अर्थ 15 जुलाई को सम्मिलित करना है, तो अंग्रेज़ी को 'on or before 15 July 2025' में बदलें और दोनों भाषाओं में एक ही अंतिम तिथि, समय और 'भारतीय मानक समय' स्पष्ट लिखें। अनुवाद को मूल से भिन्न अर्थ देने वाली स्वतंत्रता न दें।.
611 words, about 3 min2Recruitment notice copy-edit: number agreement, deadline ambiguity and legal register
An assistant section officer is copy-editing a public notice for a state commission's recruitment test. The draft, prepared by a junior, contains these sentences: (1) 'The Commission have decided to conduct the written examination on 12 August 2025.' (2) 'Candidates are informed that they should submit their application form before the last date, otherwise their candidature will be cancelled.' (3) 'The number of candidates appeared in the examination was less than 50,000.' (4) 'The Commission comprises of five members.' (5) 'No candidate will be allowed to carry any objectionable item inside the examination hall.' The notice must be unambiguous, formal, and legally defensible; the commission's style sheet prefers active voice where the doer is known, avoids 'shall' except for legal obligations, and requires countable nouns to take 'fewer'.
