3. Mutatis mutandis (Latin)

According to Wikipedia (cilck here):
A direct translation from Latin of mutatīs mutandīs would read, 'with those things having been changed which need to be changed'. More colloquially, it can be interpreted as 'the necessary changes having been made,' where "the necessary changes" are usually implied by a prior statement assumed to be understood by the reader. It carries the connotation that the reader should pay attention to the corresponding differences between the current statement and a previous one, although they are analogous.
