French term

se transporter

French to English Law/Patents Law (general)
For a "commission rogatoire"
Code de procédure pénale
Le juge d'instruction peut **se transporter**, sans être assisté de son greffier ni devoir en dresser procès-verbal, pour diriger et contrôler l'exécution de la commission rogatoire, dès lors qu'il ne procède pas lui-même à des actes d'instruction. A l'occasion de ce **transport**, il peut ordonner la prolongation des gardes à vue prononcées dans le cadre de la commission rogatoire. Dans tous les cas, mention de ce transport est faite sur les pièces d'exécution de la commission rogatoire.

Usually, you speak of "transport sur les lieux" = inspection of the scene of the crime by the court. But here, the investigating judge, via the request for assistance, is appealing to others to do the investigating work for him/her. In the particular case I am translating, this work will be done outside France as the accused have skipped the country. So, "se transporter" can't be inspecting the scene of the crime here. Travel?

Déplacement Yes, "assisté de son greffier" makes it clear that it's about traveling.

Not sure what your solution is??
ah, so you're cutting out the idea of "transport" altogether? Hmm, nice idea but I think I do need to talk about it

to go personally

....
Note from asker:
In the end, I said something similar: The investigating judge may direct or oversee the execution of the letter rogatory in person, without the assistance of his/her clerk and without having to draw up a report, provided he/she does not carry out the investigation work personally

(to) visit

Example sentence taken from Collins Robert dictionary:

Le parquet s'est transporté sur les lieux
=
The public prosecutor's office visited the scene of the crime

"Visit" seems to fit perfectly, in my opinion, after having read your text.
Note from asker:
yes, but here, as I said, it is not the scene of the crime he/she is visiting...

[peut se transporter = may travel] [à l'occasion de ce transport = whilst away/during the trip

Hello,

After reading more carefully, this is what I'd propose.

I hope this helps.
