T/E

French to English Other Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs Birth certificate (Burkina Faso French to US English)
Hello, I don't usually translate from French, but I've been asked to translate a short birth certificate from Burkina Faso, most of which is fairly straightforward. However, in the top left corner before anything else, appears the initials "T/E".

I'm wondering if this is might be fairly obvious to most French translators/speakers or if it's something more hard-to-fathom or simply specific to Burkina Faso.

Here's the context:

T/E
REGION du : CENTRE OUEST Burkina Faso
PROVINCE du : BOULKIEMDE Unité - Progrès - Justice
DEPARTEMENT :
COMMUNE de : KOUDOUGOU
ETAT-CIVIL

I really appreciate any help.

No Just guessing.

Hi Phil. My question is really more concerned with whether this is something you'd normally see on a birth certificate. Is your suggestion a common occurrence?
