continue over the page

Non-PRO English to French Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
I found this phrase at the bottom of a document in English. Does it mean "Tournez la page"?

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): AllegroTrans, mediamatrix (X), Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

Sarah Bessioud Jan 20, 2011:
Izzy What type of document is this? Is it a document that needs to be filled in by somebody or an exam paper?
mediamatrix (X) Jan 19, 2011:
@Izzy No, it doesn't mean "Tournez la page". The usual English expression for that is "PTO" (please turn over).

continuez au verso

The fact that this is "continue over the page" (rather than the usual "continues" or "continued") would imply that it is an instruction for the reader to continue in some respect, for example, by filling in the document, answering questions, continuing with a certain process etc. I feel that the imperative needs to be maintained in the translation.

A few examples:

Continuez au verso au besoin.

Si vous en avez d’autres, continuez au verso


"ContinueS" and "continueD", on the other hand, describe the fact that the text continues or is continued on the next page, which is the equivalent to "suite".
