Restating a comment more neutrally · Keeping a view attributed to its speaker

Application goal: Keeping a view attributed to its speaker.

Preserve scope, certainty and conditions when reformulating. Changing may to will or some to all changes the meaning even when the topic stays the same.

Context: Restating a comment more neutrally. Identify the wording that achieves this goal, then adapt the details to a situation of your own.

Practical examples

The summary should still make clear that this was one person's response.

ومع ذلك، ينبغي أن يوضح الملخص أن هذا كان رد شخص واحد.

It would be misleading to turn the comment into an unattributed conclusion about the entire programme.

سيكون مضللًا تحويل الملاحظة إلى استنتاج غير منسوب عن البرنامج كله.

Neutrality concerns how the view is represented, not whether its criticism is allowed to remain visible.

تتعلق الحيادية بطريقة عرض الرأي، لا بإخفاء النقد الذي يتضمنه.
