hi all,
i'm proofreading a text and i've just found the word "controrelatore" translated as "discussant".
is it right? what do you think? I got some doubts over it.
thank you for your help.

I found a thread in WR with a similar question:
http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1030690
Checking with Google, outside examiner is more frequent:

Thanks to all! Yes, probably co-examiner is a better solution than outside examiner.

: Per una maggiore corrispondenza con l'italiano, sceglierei "co-examiner" perchè è ciò che è un controrelatore.

Mr Murray (X)
: Isn't that 'corelatore'? This is 'controrelatore'. Which edition of Hoepli?

The entry for controrelatore says to see correlatore, and that gives co-speaker and co-examiner. I don't see how co-examiner or examiner could fit the context of a congress.
