Testo di architettura
Sono incaricata di controllare solo la terminologia di una traduzione già eseguita in inglese. Il traduttore non ha tradotto la parola "bocciodromo":
"Bocciodromo
The following works will be carried out:
- extension and completion of the existing steel structure;
- construction of two new structures;
- construction of two concrete spectators' stands bordering
- the playing fields with a total capacity of approx 160 places;"
Ho già controllato su Kudoz, ma le risposte date a questo riguardo mi lasciano dubbiosa. Ero decisa a tradurlo con "bowls area", ma non sono sicura che corrisponda veramente al gioco delle bocce in Italia. D'altra parte, il termine "bocciodromo" non mi sembra comprensibile ad un pubblico anglofono.
Grazie!

or *indoor bocce court* if that's what it is (I don't really understand what is meant by *structures* in the context you provide)

indoor bocci ground
This is the closest I could come. If your audience is North American they will probably understand "bocci" but you may want to footnote the term as "Italian bowls". If your audience is British, I acutally would use the term Bocciodromo with a footnote explaining that it is a building used for the playing of Italian bowls.
Good luck: not an easy one.
