Which ところ is this?


I had my sentence of `今日は友達の車で警告を読んで、和英翻訳してみることにします` ("Today I will read the
warning in my friend's car and try to do a Japanese to English translation of
it") corrected to become:

> 今日は友達の車の中で読んだ警告 **というところ** を和英翻訳してみることにします.

Specifically, I am unable to understand this portion: `というところ`.

These are the only forms I know:

  * Verbところ - is just about to do [verb]

  * Verbているところ - in the midst of doing [verb]

  * Verb-Pastところ - had just done [verb]

  * Verbていたところ - has been doing [verb]

  * Eventところを - in the midst of [Event]

`読んだ警告という` does not fall within the above analyses. It is a noun modified by a
relative clause. What does `ところ` do in this case?




I am not sure if the person that corrected your sentence understands Japanese
enough, or understands your intention. Your original sentence means:

> Today, I will read a warning in my friend's car, and do a Japanese to
> English translation (of it).

The modified sentence means:

> Today, I will do a Japanese to English translation of the
> portion/chapter/section/etc. titled "warning" that I read inside my friend's
> car.

A natural translation for `ところ` in this case is "portion" (some place within a
text).
