O desenvolvimento dos aspectos civis dos mecanismos de gestão de crises constitui uma elevada prioridade para os Parceiros da Cooperação, todos eles empenhados no processo de desenvolvimento ou revisão da legislação e dos mecanismos associados. Estas atividades serviram de fórum para debates relacionados com o papel do parlamento, a divisão de responsabilidades entre os ministérios/organismos civis e o aparelho militar, e entre os diferentes níveis governamentais. As atividades conduzidas nos diversos Países Parceiros centraram-se no desenvolvimento duma percepção destes conceitos no seio do governo, da função pública, dos militares e da mídia. Um documento identificando um certo número de princípios comuns aos países da Aliança em matérias de legislação e dispositivos de planejamento civil de emergência está para ser redigido por um grupo de relatores da OTAN [NATO] e será transmitido aos Parceiros da Cooperação ainda este ano. | Translation - English
Developing the civilian aspects of crisis management mechanisms is of high priority to the Cooperation Partners, all of which are engaged in the process of developing or revising the associated legislation and mechanisms. These activities served as a discussion forum concerning the role of Parliament and the division of responsibilities between the ministries/civilian organizations and the military, and between the different levels of government. Activities conducted in the various Partner Countries focused on developing an understanding of these concepts within the government, the public sector, the military and the media. A document identifying a certain number of principles common to allied countries regarding legislation and provisions for civil emergency planning is to be drafted by a group of NATO rapporteurs and will be sent to the Cooperation Partners later this year. | Italian to English: Italian Business Translation

Une attention particulière sera accordée à la démarche de qualité environnementale globale des bâtiments comme par exemple à la qualité de l’air intérieur, au plan des logements pour accroître la récupération d'énergie solaire en hiver, à l’optimisation énergétique des réseaux de distribution de chaleur, à l’optimisation de la régulation des systèmes de chauffage, au choix optimal des systèmes de ventilation, à l’éclairage, à la protection solaire pour le confort d’été, au choix des matériaux de construction… | Translation - English
Particular attention will be given to the overall environmental quality approach of the buildings such as, for example, the quality of indoor air, the housing scheme designed to increase the capture of solar energy during the winter, the energy optimisation of heat distribution networks, the optimisation of regulations for heating systems, optimal choices for ventilation systems, lighting, protection from the sun for summer comfort, and the choice of building materials… | French to English: Lipid digestion

Les produits de la digestion des lipides sont des monoglycérides, des acides gras, du cholestérol et des lysophospholipides. Ces nutriments sont associés aux sels biliaires sous forme de micelles qui permettent leur absorption par la bordure « en brosse » des entérocytes. | Translation - English
The products for lipid digestion are monoglycerides, fatty acids, cholesterol, and lysophospholipids. These nutrients are associated with bile salts in the form of micelles which allow them to be absorbed by the “brush” border of enterocytes. |

My name is Robert Alan Long, and I am a polyglot and full-time freelance translator residing in Houston, Texas (USA). My language pairs are Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Catalan into English (my native language). It goes without saying that languages are my biggest passion in life, and I constantly strive to improve my skills and further my expertise. The main areas I translate in are the medical, business, energy sector, and legal domains, and I have worked for several agencies around the world, including some from the US, Spain, New Zealand, and others.
Past projects have included contracts, news articles, conference notes, educational qualifications, medical intake forms, user manuals, art descriptions, police reports, company policies, and many others. I've also done an extensive amount of translation of customers’ product feedback for companies such as Shell, Pfizer, Dove, Samsung, Scott, Braun, Gillette, DANONE, Pampers, Sanofi, S.A., Kellogg’s, BP, Bausch & Lomb, Skinny Cow, Timberland, Chili’s, Paraxel, Amazon, Stella Artois, Gardasil, Axe, Capcom, Subway, and Microsoft, just to name a few. Notable projects include a 40k word translation for an art museum in France, a 20k word automotive translation for a Chilean mining company, a very large project for a Human Rights organization, as well as an 80k word government related translation. I’ve also done various volunteer translation assignments, including website translation for the Instituto de Apoio à Criança [Child Support Institute], and I’m a regular volunteer for a Romanian organization dedicated to helping stray animals (“Save the Dogs”).
In addition to my direct experience as a translator I've also had the opportunity to work as a project manager for a successful, medium sized translation agency here in Houston. In this position I refined my editing and proof-reading skills, which are two very essential components to the translation process. I'd also be happy to perform a test translation for any or all of my language pairs, if such is the policy of your company.
My rates for translation are quite reasonable and also subject to negotiation depending on the project. My normal rates are $0.05-$0.07/word.
As for CAT tools, I currently operate with Déja Vu X2, and OmegaT, the former of which is compatible with Trados and other CAT tools and can receive translation memory therefrom. Also, please feel free to visit my profile at Proz.com. The address is: http://www.proz.com/profile/1597205
