Translation of "perifer" into English

Regioner som ligger vid gränserna betraktas ofta som perifera men kan faktiskt vara ekonomiska knutpunkter.

Border regions are often seen as peripheral, but they can be an economic hub.

Detta gäller i synnerhet tjänster som endast har en tillfällig, underordnad eller perifer koppling till transport.

This is particularly so in respect of services which are only incidental, ancillary or even tangentially connected to transport.
