has an impact on OK, Chris, but I implore you, I beg you, I plead with you not to use "impact" as a verb (unless the meaning is literal, of course, as in "the parachuteless skydiver impacted the ground").
Chris Dawe (asker) Oct 11, 2011:
Impacting on.... Thanks very much Jefferson...I like this notion....it might work well. I'm doing all my editing now and will see how snugly it'll fit in, contextually. Thanks for the hint. Chris.
Jefferson D Boyles, ELS Oct 11, 2011:
interferência(s) com . . . Chris - As you obviously know, "interferência" is rarely translated as "interference". In this case, I wouldn't translate it as "obstacle" either. With "com", the sense here seems to be one of "impact on" or effect on". As for what types of "public services" they reference, you'll need to suss that out from the larger context, if possible, or leave it equally ambiguous in your translation. I hope that helps . . .
