"politically correct"? God, I hope not!!! And don't worry, I'm not upset by your comments at all.

No, it's not our job to correct every little mistake that an author makes. If a mistake's minor but the meaning's obvious, I'd normally completely ignore it and translate it as though the error didn't exist, but sometimes the English in a text is so bad that you can't work out the sense.

You can then either try to guess what it means (which is very risky, especially with legal/other technical translations), or translate it as written, perhaps with a comment after your translation to show that the mistake isn't in your translation, but in the original, eg:

'находился в слон банан положении'
'was in an elephant banana situation [as written -- translator]'.

Also, sometimes (as in this case) I think it's helpful for the asker to know that what they think might be a deficit in their understanding of English, isn't a deficit at all, but due to the English in the original being poorly-written/nonsensical. So in this case, in addition to trying to answer the asker's question about 'risk passes on ....', I pointed out other errors in the passage to show that other parts of the original were also poorly-written.

You say I'm being nit-picking because "все абсолютно прозрачно". Well, that's where we differ. In particular, you say the meaning of 'provided that' is perfectly clear. Well, I've read it several times and I've no idea what the author's trying to say -- although Phyloneer may have come up with the answer.

Thanks for the compliments, anyway.
