I am trying to translate the following sentence:

Here is what I've come up with so far:
Plants under construction must specify - in the request for information application form - the manufacturing situation of the drug as either “Local” if it is manufactured there or “Toll” if it is manufactured in another plant, ***even if this means that we will double the number of pharmaceutical preparations counted.***

The part after *** is what I'm struggling with. Does this look right to you?

Typo in original Oct 19, 2015

Hi,
The original Arabic contains an unfortunately common typo, which is probably the cause of your confusion.
It's يتسنى
not يتثنى
حتى يتسنى لنا حساب العدد
= to enable us to calculate the number

Thank you! Oct 19, 2015

You're great, thank you very much!

This is an Egyptian document, so do you think this is a case of ث being س in the author's dialect, leading them to confuse the two?

Exactly.. Oct 19, 2015

Because many Egyptians tend to pronounce the ث as س even when reading فصحى, some may accidentally overcompensate by treating س as if it were ث
(I'm sure other Arabs do it as well, but I'm Egyptian myself so just talking about what I know)
