English to Spanish translations [PRO] Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s)
English term or phrase:mills
Aparece en un "MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION" de una compañía, dentro de las cosas que la sociedad puede hacer. Me cuesta traducirlo como "molinos" dentro de este contexto, ya que la compañía opera en el rubro de las tecnologías de la información.
Contexto:
"To build, construct, alter, maintain, enlarge, pull down, remove or replace and to work, manage and control any buildings, offices, factories, ***mills***, shops, machinery, engines, roadways, railway-sidings, bridges, reservoirs, water-houses, wharf, electric works and other works and conveniences which may seem calculated directly or indirectly to advance the interest of the Company".
Gracias de antemano,
Explanation: There are few (if any) things in the source text list that are very relevant to IT. It's clear that the author is simplying covering all possibilities with an all-inclusive clause.
In the list of items, what seems to be missing is premises that serve to 'process' materials (as distinct from places where goods are 'made' - factories), often called 'mills' in English or, in similarly general terms in Spanish: 'plantas'
Hay muchas cosas en la lista que no tienen que ver con IT. Mill no siempre es molino, a veces se puede referir a plantas textiles, fábricas de papel, etc. pero no creo que sea el caso aquí porque justo antes dice 'factory'
3 (factory) fábrica
cotton mill hilandería
paper mill fábrica de papel
mill1
(n.) = fábrica textil, fábrica de tejidos de algodón
Ex: To be sure, it still has its congeries of mills and factories, its grimy huddle of frame dwellings and congested tenements, its stark, jagged skyline, but its old face is gradually changing.
Tneés también sawmill, steel mill, sugar mill, diploma mill, etc.... Fábricas de todos esos productos textiles/de algodón
