تحياتي شكرا جزيلا على المساعدة

Correct answer is the safe side Verify the correct answer in the following site (mainly UN translated documents):
http://en.glosbe.com/en/ar/sic (see those highlighted in Arabic as هكذا and كذا besides others)
RachidAmrani (asker) May 13, 2014:
Safe side Then, for me to be on the safe side I would just translate it as "هكذا", isn't it?
Ahmad Batiran May 13, 2014:
Not necessarily a mistake, neither it is yours In my 1st comment, I wasn't talking about you but about the entity/person that drafted the document that you are translating. That entity/person, by adding (sic), wants to say "I am writing "agreements" because I found it as such in the main source; however, I doubt it is meant to be so".
RachidAmrani (asker) May 13, 2014:
Thank you everybody! What I am sure of is that the phrase "hotel agreements" is in the plural form as it written. Since it is not a mistake, and absent any other mistake, or at least unnoticed up to now, can we think together of another possibility? thank you all again!
Ahmad Batiran May 13, 2014:
Hotel Agreement_s_ 'Agreements' could be written as such by mistake. The quoting person believes it is one Hotel Agreement; so in order to be faithful to the original, s/he makes a note of that by adding (sic) after the word in question, i.e. it is not my mistake but it is quoted from the original as is.

According to Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary & Thesaurus:

sic: a word written in brackets after a word that you have copied to show that you know it has been spelled or used wrongly: The notice outside the cinema said 'Closed on Wedensday' (sic).

Adding the detailed reference of Wikipedia as suggested thankfully by Mr. Dardeer (its Arabic version adopts كذا):
"The Latin adverb sic ("thus"; in full: sic erat scriptum, "thus was it written") added immediately after a quoted word or phrase (or a longer piece of text), indicates that the quotation has been transcribed exactly as found in the original source, complete with any erroneous or archaic spelling or other nonstandard presentation."
