Hi. could you please help me to check this French to English translation, it �s not mine a friend who teaches economy asked me to check . help me plz
Developing countries have a great weakness in national science systems. Among the explanations for this weak technology are the weakness of private and public research efforts , insufficient technological performance and so on .The technological backwardness i developing countries can also be explained by the scarce resources allocated to research ,innovation and the organizational weaknesses of research and innovation .It is becoming increasingly legitimate to provide investment incentives and to establish a regulatory ,legal and financial framework to promote public research and increase the effect of training .
The research infrastructure that is the source of economic activity can indeed become a local actor of central development. The regional economic impacts of research infrastructrues are direct and indirect  . Krugman has proposed a theory of regional development around the concept of externalities. Indeed, the process of economic agglomeration is created both through technological and pecuniary externalities, which are often interlinked . Proximity promotes the mobility of the workforce , the transmission of information , the sharing of know-how , the exchange of technological knowledge , etc. In this respect , it is legitimite to consider externalities as a factor of accumulation and agglomeration .It is conceivable that , in the case where a volume of positive externalitiesis greater in a geographical area ,the firms tend to favor a location in favor of this zone . Knowledge has the particularity of being resources related mainly to human capital . however , human capital is largely fluid , mobile and seeks to concentrate and aggregate to benefit from positive externalities. Territorial competition no longer rests solely on natural endowment but on the ability of territories to attract and retain this human capital . In addition , the ability to assimilate information and technological resourses produced by national science systems depends on previous skills and capacities . Internalization of external effects requires the formation of internal and external learning efforts that depend in particular on the level of education ,vocational training and tha specific capabilities of the companies .In Tunisia , knowledge infrastuctures  mainly include technopoles universities and some research organisations . Geographically , the territorial network of knowledge infrastructrures reveals that it is mainly concentrated in large cities .

Can you post the French as well? That would be very helpful and I, and I �m sure one or two others, would have a look at it.

thank you very much 
This is the French text :
Les pays en developpement enregistrent une grande faiblesse des dispositifs scientifiques nationaux.Parmi les explications de cette faiblesse de technologie , on trouve la faibless des efforts de recherche privee et publique , l �insuffisance de la performance technologique , etc . Le retard technologique dans les pays en developpement peut etre aussi explique par la faiblesse des resources allouees a la recherche et a l �innovation et les faiblesses organissationnelles de la recherche et de l �innovation . Il s �avere  de plus en plus legitime de mettre des instrument d �incitation a l �investissement  et d �instaurer un cadre reglementere , juridique et financier permettant de favoriser la recherche publique et de multiplier les effet d �entrainement . L �infrastructure de recherche source d �activite economique peut en effet devenir un acteur local de developement central . Les impacts economiques regionaux des infrastructures de recherche sont directs et indirects .
Krugman a proposeune theorisation du developpement regional autour du concept d �externalites . En effet , le processus d �agglomeration economique est cree aussi  bien au  travers d �externalites technologiques que pecuniaires, par ailleurs souvent imbriquees. La proximite favorise la mobilite de la main-d �oeuvre , la transmission de l �information , le partage du savoir-faire,, lechange de connaissances technologiques, etc. A cet egard il est legitime de considerer les externalites  comme un facteur d �accumulation et d �agglomeration . On peut concevoir que dans le cas ou un volume d �externalites positives est superieur dans une zone geographique , les firmes tendes a privilegier une localisation en faveur de cette zone .Les connaissances ont la particularite d �etre des resources liees principalment au caoital humain . Or le capital humain est en grande partie fluide et mobile et cherche a se concentrer , s �agglomerer pour beneficier d �externalites positives . La concurrence territoriale ne repose des lors plus seulement sur les dotations naturelles , mais sur la capacite des territoires a attirer et a conserver ce capital humain . Par ailleurs , la capacite a assimiler les informations et les ressources techniques produites par les dispositifs scientifiques nationaux , depend des competences et des capacites anterieures . L �internalisation des effet externes necessite la constitution des efforts d �apprentissage interne et externe qui depend nottamment du niveau d �education , de la formation professionnelle et des capacites specifiques des entreprises . En tunisie les infrastructures de connaissances regroupent principalement les technopoles , les universites et quelques organismes de recherches . Sur le plan geographique , le maillage territorial des infrastructures de connaissances revele que celle -ci sont pour l �essentiel concentrees dans les grandes villes.  :) thank you very much again

Wow, this is high level stuff! Your friend has done an excellent job with this translation, imho. 
Line 1: IS (not ARE) the weakness of... 
�favor a location in favor of this zone � is a bit clumsy... maybe �favor a location advantageous to this zone � or  �prefer a location in favor of this zone � The original French is a bit cumbersome... Maybe leave it as it is. 
 
No inaccuracies, that I can find, anyway!
