The sentence below is part of a patent software interface.
Please select only patents which are not already instructed or granted.
I have translated it as:
Merci de ne sélectionner que les brevets ni encore traités ni délivrés.
What do you think?
I am not sure about "traités, "délivrés" and the phrase "ni encore".
Please select only patents which are not already instructed or granted.
I have translated it as:
Merci de ne sélectionner que les brevets ni encore traités ni délivrés.

"Merci de ..." [thank you for ..]
seems to me to strong here for the simple "please".
The please is just an advice here.
Leave it out completely:
Ne s�lectionner que les brevets ni ..."
Or try:
Voulez-vous ..
S'il vous pla�t ..
Je vous en prie de ..
French natives will correct me, sans doute.

In article <ec03dd1c-55e9-4ad9...@googlegroups.com>,
the overall style or context demands it, I strongly would prefer "s'il
vous plaît". I find it jarring to thank them before they've done the
action for which they would be thanked. (Though many people do it, I
acknowledge...)
As for the rest, "select" is very likely "choisir" rather than
"sélectionner". I don't know the patent jargon in either English or
French, but isn't "instruct" pretty much identical to "instruire"? If so,
how about:
Choisir seulement [les|des] brevets qui ne sont ni en cours d'instruction
ni déjà délivrés
(les/des would depend on context, essentially whether it is an inclusive
selection or not)
