exécution

French to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) skills of a particular IT
Hello,

I hope someone "in-the-know" can help me with this:

It's for someone's employment certificate:

"Développement et exécution de démonstrations de solutions"

I have put "developing and running solution demonstrations" is this ok? I'm not sure about the "running" part

Thank you so much
Proposed translations (English)
4 +4 running OR conducting

running OR conducting

It depends on the context. "exécution" could be translated a number of ways. If it strictly refers to an application, I would suggest "running". If it refers to someone physically giving the demonstration, Tristan's suggestion ("conducting"), is fine.
Peer comment(s):
agree TechLawDC : It is idiomatically justifiable to improve on the author's "execution" here.

agree Nikki Scott-Despaigne : "Running" in the sense of "carry out" yes; although could mean "run" in the sense of being in charge of. For that reason, I prefer "conduting", so "developing and conductiong" .

French term (edited): exécution de démonstrations

presentation / presenting

I'd use "presentation of solutions" or "presenting solutions" for "exécution de démonstrations de solutions" ;-)

"Creating and presenting demonstrations of solutions" is what I would probably use; I think it's more natural-sounding than "conducting".
Peer comment(s):
agree cc in nyc : behind me by a hair and slightly different... you kept "demonstrations"
