Help me make this sentence make sense ;-) I am translating an English agreement into Polish, and this sentence looks like it needs a correction or two before I translate. Kinda hard to guess what they mean. Can you help? The parties of the Agreement must inform the other part about the ending and the beginning of the unforeseen circumstance what Chamber of commerce supply firms or Chamber of commerce, industry, craft, must confirm some other Government agencies.

Kasia, This is not accurate English at all, there seem to be words mixed up and missing. Where did you get it from? Bob

I've spent a good deal of time working on contracts. This is gibberish. Either there are words missing or this is an extremely poor translation from an original in some language other than English. You might try putting various parts of it in quotes and running the quotes through a Google search, on the chance that the problem is missing words and this is part of a standard, boilerplate paragraph. The paragraph is about what happens under the agreement when an unforeseen circumstance arises (the phrase "unforeseen circumstance" is probably defined somewhere in the agreement), and the first part of the paragraph is understandable: "The parties of the Agreement must inform the other part[ies] about the ending and the beginning of the unforeseen circumstance..." but the paragraph goes right off the rails after that. I strongly suspect that there are words missing, and quite possibly entire sentences.

Yes, exactly, it just seems like words are missing in the second part of the sentence. It is an agreement written by a Latvian and the most I can gather from the poor translation into English is that those circumstances must be confirmed by the Chamber of Commerce. Nevertheless I should probably inform the person I'm translating it for for them to look into that. I just wanted to make sure that the sentence is faulty, and not my (not) understanding it. Thank you!
