Italian word

convalida

validation; judicial confirmation of a legal act (e.g., confirming an arrest)

Looks like

convalidate

not a standard English word; 'validate' covers this

⚠️ The trap

'Convalida dell'arresto' is a specific procedural act in Italian law where a judge must confirm an arrest within 48 hours, or the arrested person must be released. English 'validate' does not carry this specific judicial time-limited confirmation meaning.

To say "not a standard English word; 'validate' covers this" in Italian:

convalida

"convalida" in English means:

validation; judicial confirmation of a legal act (e.g., confirming an arrest)

Example

"Il GIP ha proceduto alla convalida dell'arresto."

"The preliminary judge proceeded with the confirmation of the arrest."
