Windows Analysis or Contemporaneous Period Analysis: A windows schedule analysis, also referred to as a “contemporaneous period schedule analysis,” is a retrospective schedule impact analysis technique that generally utilizes contemporaneous schedule updates, in conjunction with as-built facts related to a delay or change, to quantify schedule impacts to the as-built critical path associated with the change or delay. This schedule analysis takes into account the change’s or delay’s relationship to past and/or concurrent events and circumstances. |

| windows analysis تحليل التأخُّرات Explanation: Let's take this apart and then see if we can put it back together (analyse then synthesize: 1. It is "windows analysis," not "window analysis." 2. Some writers prefer capitalizing both words, but that is not called for, unless the capitalization is intended to serve the purpose of highlighting the term, as in a discussion of the meaning of the term itself. 3. The fuller expression is "windows delay analysis," which clarifies what is involved in the process and why it is carried out. It is a retrospective analysis of the impact of delays on the overall progress of a project (mostly in reference to a construction project). 4. The term has nothing to do with windows in buildings or the Microsoft operating system. (All the above is abundantly and clearly discussed online. My fellow answerers have cited some useful links. I thank them all. There are many more. I won't presume to add anything more useful than what has been cited.) 5. There is no standard Arabic term for this phrase. Period. None. Therefore, your question is not a question of finding a translation, but of coining one. This makes your task easier in one way and more challenging in another. On the one hand, you have the liberty to choose anything that strikes your fancy, since no standard term exists; on the other hand, the choice seems limited between two ungraceful extreme approaches: 1. Calque translation: The expression تحليل النوافذ (or تحليل نوافذ, depending on the syntax) may seem ludicrous, but, if you think about it, the English expression "windows analysis" is just as laughable. The reason one reacts with a grin and a giggle to تحليل النوافذ but not to "windows analysis" is that "windows analysis" has reached a level of currency in the field and that تحليل النوافذ looks like a shameless copy, which, of course, it is. But once the term gains currency, it will be fine. There are many examples of claque translations that have become perfectly acceptable (even irreplaceable) over time. Just think of the Arabic expressions for "money laundering," "mouse" (as used in computers), and "kindergarten" (German for "children's garden"). 2. Descriptive translation: As stated above, "windows analysis" is jargon for "analysis of the impact of delays on the overall progress of a project." تحليل تداعيات حالات التأخُّر على سـير المشروع عموماً Of course, that is a mouthful and would not be an acceptable standard coinage, but considering the exceptional nature of this obscure jargon term, and since the term "windows analysis" appears only once in your text, I see no harm in replacing it with a plain-Arabic expression that does not pretend to be a new term or a translation of the term used in the source text, but simply as a rendition to make the text readable in the target language by the target readers. Is there an alternative? There are several alternatives, none of which is perfect, but all commonly used in these situations: 1. Use both: Introduce the claque expression followed by a parenthetical explanation. If the client/agency asks why there is a parenthetical expression in the translation, explain that the term is not known in Arabic, so an explanation is warranted. They will appreciate you: تحليل النوافذ (تحليل تداعيات حالات التأخُّر على سـير المشروع) الخ 2. Use an abbreviated explanatory translation: Instead of "تحليل تداعيات حالات التأخُّر على سـير المشروع", you can cut it down to تحليل تداعيات حالات التأخُّر تحليل حالات التأخُّر تحليل التأخُّرات Of course, these are all imperfect (imperfect perfections of an imperfect explanatory translation). It only goes to show how translation is really an art of the imperfect, an art of compromise. Are there other options? Of course there are many, and we can spend the rest of Ramadan on this, but I hope this analysis helps get you going in the right direction. |
