Hi :) Sorry i am not completely clear about 2 crucial things 1. What is the string as is? 2. What is the suggested alternative? I couldn't find the Oasis definitions and i loathe looking through MS Office anything. The link given seems to be specifically about healthcare but may not have been written by someone that really knows what they are talking about. I tried looking for something more generic and found this hopelessly detailed page in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuarial_science also this unclear (and also long-winded) definition http://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/actuarial-valuation.asp and this one http://definitions.uslegal.com/a/actuarial-value/ Would it be safer to just rewrite the equation it uses but rewrite in English? (probably not but sometimes it helps) Regards from Tom :)

Actuarial value is a measure of the percentage of expected health care costs a specific health plan will cover for the "standard" population. Actuarial value is generally calculated using the ratio of: *the total expected payments by the plan for essential health benefits* *__________________________________________________________ * *the total expected costs of the "standard" population for essential health benefits * It´s the discipline that uses statistics and math in the way to determine risk and income (cash flow) and try to establish the present value of future cash flows. In a way it´s similar to TIR. http://www.zanebenefits.com/blog/bid/252609/What-is-Actuarial-Value-AV Regards 2013/7/20 Mihovil Stanic <mihovil.stanic@gmail.com>https://translations.**documentfoundation.org/hr/**libo_ui/sc/source/ui/** translate.html#unit=29744374<https://translations.documentfoundation.org/hr/libo_ui/sc/source/ui/translate.html#unit=29744374> Currect desc: Returns the actuarial rate of interest of an investment excluding costs or profits.

As far as I understood it it's math based on statistics and probabilities. That can be in some way applied to this formula, but it's toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo complicated description. Why can't it be just like it's in Oasis and MS Office?I also think that string should be as ODFF states. My translation states that way. I must say that many of descriptions were changed in my translations. Regards -- Sérgio Marques
