Time of delivery no later on
<p>I asked a friend to translate my sales contract to English. Here's the original:</p>
<p>&quot;Thời gian giao hàng không trễ hơn: 30 ngày&quot; which means the time of delivery should not be later than 30 days.</p>
<p>But here's my friend's translated version:</p>
<p>&quot;Time of delivery no later on: 30 days&quot;</p>
<p>Why did he use <strong>no later on</strong> rather than <strong>later than</strong>? Is it a mistake?</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Why did he use no later on rather than later than? Is it a mistake?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is obviously a translation mistake. The phrase &quot;no later on&quot; is ambiguous because it doesn't have a clearly understood meaning, and is not proper English.</p>
