"er" ou "ar"


Explanation:
L'abréviation a.D. signifie "außer Dienst"et on la trouve derrière des noms de personnes qui ne sont "plus au service". A l'origine, c'est un terme du militaire.
En français, on trouve "er" ou "ar": "en retraite" ou "à la retraite", mais "er" est plus fréquent.
Je pense qu'il est nécessaire de le traduire, car dans ce cas précis, le vice-président ne l'est plus;-)
