Spanish to English translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Computers: Systems, Networks / Communications equipment
Spanish term or phrase:Indicación de anomalía
Communications equipment for signals / Real-Time Databases
I'm wondering if "indicación" is best rendered by "message" or "prompt" or something else in this context. Also, what is the difference between "anomalía" and "fallo" which both appear in the same section. Don't they both mean "error" or is "anomalía" more of a "malfunction"?
Thanks in advance.
"2. Indicaciones asociadas al RFE:
□ **Indicación de ANOMALÍA** del propio equipo (REF1/2)
□ Indicación de Fallo del GPS.
3. Indicación de fallo de los módulos de electrónica
□ Fallo módulo SR
□ Fallo módulos MP1"
Explanation: Based on my experience in the industry, I would use the term 'exception message', possibly 'exception report'. Words like anomoly are not typically used in this context - 'Exception' is very common.
Ruth. Further to your query. Exception message and error message are used synonyms way in many situations. However, my take is that an exception may not always be an true and recognised error, it could be an abberration or anomoly that needs to be reported (which may of course be an error). In my view, it may be closer to the meaning suggested in your text. Others may have a different opinion of course.
Each of these three Spanish words has an exact English equivalent - error, anomaly, failure. I think you may be making things more complicated than they need to be :-)
For example, it uses "un error de acceso al módulo", ie "module access error" and it also uses "fallo de acceso a un módulo", so I'm assuming that in this case, they are talking about one and the same thing.
Even in a communications/computing context, would it be failure, ie we talk about communication/computer errors when they refer to messages on the screen.
Explanation: Quite common in a systems context.

Asker: Thanks for your response. Would "fallo" be "error" then?

Apologies for the typos. I wrote it in a hurry when a call came in.

Many thanks for your help, Steven.

Asker: I wonder if you could explain the difference between an exception error and an ordinary error. Many thanks in advance.
Asker: The outsourcer has said that he would prefer me to use something other than "error message", so as not to confuse it with "fallo", and so I think that "exception" is probably a good solution here.
