Parts of a document

I have a client who only wants me to translate certain paragraphs or sentences in several newspaper articles. Should I translate the whole thing and just italize or put in bold the parts that he requires to be translated or should I just translate the parts he wants me to? In this case, what should I put in the translation to indicate that it doesn't cover the whole article?

:p

Thanx!!

Hi Josie!
My advice is that you translate only what you are requested and paid for. But you may want to read the whole text to understand better the part you´ll be translating.
Hope it helps!

Hi Josie, I agree with Nadia 100%

Yes, I would do that too.
If the client requested certain parts, then he'll be looking for those bits, and I don't think you should write anything to indicate it.
Just include the source text, with those translated sentences, and keep the formats. Good luck!

Thank you guys so much! ;)
