Sometimes I can't quite understand what the '' where '' conjunction means in a sentence.
For example : Vaccination may be considered in cases where cats are likely to be at specific risk of infection.
I understood that the conjunction '' where '' means '' in which '' in this sentence. ( in cases in which )
The other example : Where the recommendations in this table are not consistent.
where means in situations in which.
Sometimes I come across expressions like: .... situations where ....... ([i] situations in which[/i] )
So far, no problem.
But this sentence confused me a bit.
This table provides examples of possible vaccination schedules for childs and adults where vaccines are given either every 5 or 8 weeks.
childs and adults do not specify locations. so it doesn't make sense '' in which '' . in situation in which makes sense.
..... for childs and adults in situations in which vaccines are given......
But then; ....for childs and adults in situations ..... such a sentence appears .
I have three questions.
1) How should we think when translating such sentences?
2) How do we think when translating this sentence?
3) ..... for childs and adults in situations in which vaccines are given......
..... for childs and adults , in situations in which vaccines are given......
Is there a difference in meaning between these two sentences? Is it grammatically appropriate to separate with commas in English?
Thank you...

Hm… is childs really a real word? I wonder if the source is suspect since it would be children 😬
I like your questions since they tend to focus on areas I have often overlooked 👍
You can say “I was in a situation where I did not have cash handy” as per Cambridge dictionary. I feel you can use both options. One may be more formal such as in which. The other may be more common and informal such as where.
In other aspects, I noticed some thing that you said in your text. You mentioned translating. Are you translating all of the sentences to another language when processing sentence correction? Ideally you would not do that. Is it possible or reasonable to try to handle them without translating?

Sorry about that. Yes it will be '' children ''. Sometimes i do what you say but not all the time.
For example, this is a different situation, I do not translate it.
What really confused me about this sentence was preposition used with noun.
So... ..... for children and adults in situations in which vaccines are given......
..... for children and adults , in situations in which vaccines are given......
thinking as '' for children and adults in situations '' gives a different meaning to the sentence ; thinking as '' in situations in which ... '' ( by keeping this separate from for children and adults ) gives a different meaning to the sentence. How do we think ?
