There is no more sentence.It is a table titled الشهود, with columns اسم الشاهد / مكان العمل / الغرض من الشهادة
In the third column two points 1) الشهادة على سرعة العمل
2)الشهادة بأن الشركة من أسرع.........

What is the following sentence? The few words you added changed the meaning completely. Now we know this has nothing to do with using subcontractors but is rather about timely completion of work. What is the next sentence that follows? Perhaps that could shed some more light.

amkm (asker) Apr 29, 2010:

This is about court witnesses and purpose of witnesses

The full sentence is - الغرض من الشهادة : الشهادة بأن الشركة من أسرع المقاولين بمدينة الامارات وبأنها قامت بالاحق بمقاولين يعملون من قبل عام داخل المدينة

More context Thank you for specifying the word and for the 5 words that you added to the beginning of the text. We need more of the text that follows. It appears that this is a certificate that the company executed a contract using subcontractors who were already working the city, which was probably a requirement. That is why a certificate is given. But to figure out the puzzling word, more context is needed.

The context is - الغرض من الشهادة : الشهادة بأن الشركة قامت بالاحق بمقاولين يعملون من قبل عام داخل المدينة
The word I puzzled about is the word بالاحق , thank you

Fuad Yahya Apr 29, 2010:

Provide fuller context The word you are puzzled about is the word بالاحق or بالأحق. We don't know which word, because you wrote it in two different ways. In any case, it appears that the word was typed incorrectly. You don't really need help with translation. You need help figuring out what word was intended. To make an intelligent determination, one would need to read the context to figure out what is being discussed. The fragment you provided is not sufficient.
