Question

What is the English translation for “histoire d’en profiter au maximum tant que ça dure.”Merci

Accepted Answer

Hi Margot,
I am assuming that the problem is the expression 'histoire de' which is idiomatic.
It just means 'just to' in English but I agree that it is very odd although frequently used in French.
I would translate the whole sentence by something like -
Just to make the most of the situation while it lasts
