Question from Helen de Baar:
Hello, I doubt about the following sentence: internal speaking in principle 3 years contract. J'ai traduit "contrat interne sur, en principe 3 ans. What do you think? Thank you.
Fredrik Åsenius replied on 16-Dec-11: Thanked once
A comma too much maybe. If it is meant to be an official contract I wonder what the word "speaking" is doing there. It could also be understood as: "Internally we are discussing a contract /consisting/ of about three years." To be sure what they mean you have to ask them

It means internal contract for, in principal, three years.

je dirais "contrat interne sur une période, en principe, de trois ans"
