Spanish to English Social Sciences Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Por ello, la Agencia debe involucrarse activamente en actividades de formación y de divulgación en este campo.

From the same text as before. I know it refers to training activities, but not sure about the second term and how to fit them together.
Thanks.

The education area is one I find particularly beset by jargonisms and largely meaningless waffle. My advice is to try to keep translations in this area as simple as possible and call a spade a spade.

Another option.
This is what an international organization I work for calls them.

agree neilmac : "Dissemination" is OK too, but some of my clients dislike it, I suppose it's like the "moist" phenomenon... http://gothamist.com/2012/04/23/extra_extra_2243.php

"..... the Agency should actively participate in training and information disclosure within this field."
This option does away with the need to include both "actively" and "activities".... ;)

Spanish term (edited): la Agencia debe involucrarse activamente en actividades de formación y de divulgación en este campo

the agency should engage in both training and educational activities regarding such matters

Or, if it fits better, "in these areas" instead of "regarding such matters."

Alternative phrasing:

the agency should provide both training and information regarding such matters

I think that "educational" (or, in my alternative proposal, "information") works better than either "disclosure activities" or "informational activities" for "actividades de divulgación" here, and that this wording reads like idiomatic English. And no need to translate the redundant "activamente" or "actividades de" here.

Suerte.
Peer comment(s):

agree neilmac : I'd also go with "in these areas". I strongly agree with your last comment too ;)
