6 mins confidence: 
close friends Explanation: Whole expression -relatives and close friends-. Spanisg -personas- is rather neutral, but the adjective -cercanas- justifies the switch to 'friends'. |

7 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1| Las familias y personas cercanas Family, friends, and other involved persons Explanation: Or "parties" instead of persons. I think that this is an elegant way of putting it that captures the original meaning while avoiding the awkward "Families and persons close to them" implied in Simon's suggestion. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2016-05-12 15:23:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note that the singular "family" is to be used in English for "Las familias" (given that the reference is to the family of each child of concern). |

This could include teachers, perhaps, and friends of their parents rather than friends of the child. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2016-05-12 08:45:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And a perfectly good option! If you're worried about it being more long-winded than the Spanish, well it has one less syllable ;) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2016-05-12 16:42:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q="family and people cl... https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q="family and people cl... https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q="family and people cl... |
