English to Norwegian: Fourth ProZ.com Translation Contest - Entry #1909

Source text - English
When my wife told me she was pregnant, I got that stomach-churning sensation that hits you on a plunging roller coaster. I was excited, yes, but... oh my God. Parenting was for, well, parents.

So here I stand, bug-eyed and sweating buckets like some poorly-drawn cartoon character, the question marks floating in the air around my head while I try to prepare myself for the complete care and responsibility of another living being besides my cat. I'm responsible for making sure this little human doesn't grow up and turn into a complete monster. If the child turns out a social moron-- my fault. If the babe can't find Luxembourg on the map, blame me for not providing a better education. They'll need therapy, and of course that will be on my head too. So many opportunities for wrong turns!

I remember the day my father sat me down and awkwardly told me about the birds and the bees; it was perhaps the most excruciating and embarrassing half hour of both our lives. I can't do that to another human being.

Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself here. I can do this, I say; I'll be a great father. My child will be reared a well-rounded, educated, upstanding citizen of the world, and he or she won't hate me.

And then I imagine the baby, still safe within the confines of my wife's belly, suddenly opening an alarmed eye as the thought enters his or her mind: "What if my dad just can't hack it?

Translation - Norwegian
Når kona mi fortalte meg at hun var gravid, fikk jeg det samme suget i magen som når berg-og-dal-banevogna setter ut for et stup. Selvfølgelige var jeg begeistret, men, å Herregud - barneoppdragelse er noe man bør overlate til, vel, foreldre.

Så her står jeg som en dårlig karikatur av meg selv, med stivt blikk mens svetten renner i strie strømmer. Spørsmålstegnene svever over hodet mitt mens jeg prøver å forbrede meg på å ta det fulle omsorgsansvaret for et nytt levende vesen ved siden av katten min. Det er jeg som har ansvaret for at dette lille mennesket ikke vokser opp til et ekte monster. Viser det seg at ungen er sosialt hjelpeløs? Min feil! Hvis tulla eller tassen ikke finner Luxembourg på kartet, er det jeg som får skylden for å ha forsømt barnets utdannelse. Det vil bli nødvendig med terapi, noe som jeg selvfølgelig også må ta på min kappe. Så mange muligheter for feilskjær!

Jeg husker dagen når far satte seg ned med meg og gav en klosset innføring i blomster og bier – den kanskje lengste og pinligste halvtimen som vi begge to noen gang hadde opplevd. Jeg kan ikke utsette et annet menneske for noe slikt.

Eller kanskje jeg burde prøve å ikke ta problemene slik på forskudd? Dette er noe jeg kan klare, sier jeg, det vil bli en utmerket far av meg. Jenta eller gutten min vil oppdras til en velbalansert, dannet og rakrygget verdensborger som ikke hater sin far.

Men så ser jeg for meg at babyen, som ennå ligger trygt i magen til kona mi, plutselig sender meg et engstelig blikk mens han eller hun tenker: "Hva hvis fatter'n rett og slett ikke fikser det?"

Economy Grows Nearly 1% in Europe

With France and Germany leading the way, the economy in the 12 nations that use the Euro currency grew at its fastest quarterly rate since 2000, a development that is expected to fortify the resolve of the European Central Bank to raise interest rates again this year.

The gross domestic product of the nations grew 0.9 percent from April to June compared with the previous quarter, Eurostat, the statistics agency of the European Union, reported Monday. Growth has recently mostly reflected strong exports, but the latest figure received a lift from business investment and consumers whose reluctance to spend has been the hallmark of the slow recovery.

The German economy, where households have been the most tightfisted, also grew 0.9 percent.

“Domestic demand is doing its job, finally,” said Erik Nielsen, chief Europe economist with Goldman Sachs. “We finally have a little drive from something other than exports, which is good.”

The data broadly confirmed figures released by various countries over much of the last week, most recently France on Friday. Though overall growth is accelerating in the Euro region, it is uneven, with France growing at a rate of 1.1 percent to 1.2 percent in the quarter, and Italy lagging at 0.5 percent.

The precise details of the growth pattern are not yet available, but economists said that data on retail sales in Germany points toward strong consumption, as does a fall in unemployment. Business confidence surveys, though they have come off their peaks of earlier this year, are still in line with strong growth.

“The situation on the labor market has noticeably improved,” said Michael Glos, the German economics minister. “Therefore, the prospects for the year are exceptionally positive.”

The European Commission on Monday raised its estimate for growth in the third quarter to 0.5 percent to 0.9 percent, slightly higher than it projected in July.

But the commission cut its forecast to a range of 0.4 percent to 0.9 percent for the fourth quarter, a period when many economists said they expected the softening economy in the United States to drag on European growth.

Nesten én prosent økonomisk vekst i Europa

Frankrike og Tyskland førte an når økonomien i de tolv eurolandene hadde sin høyeste kvartalvise vekst siden 2000, en utvikling som antagelig vil styrke Den europeiske sentralbankens beslutning om en ny renteøkning i år.

Den europeiske unions statistikkbyrå Eurostat rapporterte mandag at landenes bruttonasjonalprodukt fra april til juni økte med 0,9 prosent sammenlignet med forrige kvartal. Det meste av veksten den siste tiden har kommet som et resultat av økt eksport, men de nyeste tallene har også blitt løftet av bedriftsinvesteringer og privat forbruk, inntil nå den viktigste bremsen i den økonomiske oppgangen.

Tyskland, hvor husstandene har vært mest sparsommelige, hadde også en økonomisk vekst på 0,9 prosent.

”Endelig begynner den innenlandske etterspørselen å gjøre jobben sin”, sier Erik Nielsen, Goldman Sachs’ sjeføkonom for Europa. ”Det er bra at vi omsider får vi litt drivkraft fra annet enn eksport.”

Dataene bekreftet en rekke nasjonale tall som ble offentliggjort forrige uke, de siste av Frankrike på fredag. Eurolands totale veksten tiltar, men er ujevnt fordelt. Frankrike har en kvartalsvis vekst på mellom 1,1 og 1,2 prosent, mens Italia ligger etter med 0,5 prosent.

De eksakte detaljene om vekstmønsteret er ikke tilgjengelige ennå, men økonomer forventer sterke forbrukstall på bakgrunn av data om det tyske detaljsalget og fall i arbeidsledigheten. Forventningsindikatorene tyder fremdeles på sterk vekst, selv om de har falt noe ned fra toppen tidligere i år.

I følge Tysklands økonomiminister Michael Glos har ”situasjonen på arbeidsmarkedet bedret seg betydelig” og ”utsiktene for året er derfor usedvanlig lyse.”

På mandag økte Europakommisjonen vekstestimatet for tredje kvartal til mellom 0,5 og 0,9 prosent, litt høyere enn beregningene fra juli.

Kommisjonen reduserte imidlertid prognosen for fjerde kvartal til mellom 0,4 og 0,9 prosent. Mange økonomer forventer at svekkelser i USA-økonomien vil dra veksten i Europa med seg nedover.

About me

FIELDS OF EXPERIENCE

(Also see my Project history.)
* Finance/legal: Investment newsletters, articles of association, case studies, management training courses, tax certificates etc. I have an educational background in finance and economics as well as experience from daytrading.
* IT/electronics: I have participated in several big software help documentation projects, including the upcoming Microsoft Windows Vista. Also experience in user manuals for consumer electronic equipment, including computers and accessories, cell phones, alarm systems and hi-fi.
* Marketing: Press releases/PR material in the fields above, but also for other products provided that the texts are not too technical. I am NOT dabbling in medicine and automotive.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

* Terminology: Each project is reviewed carefully prior to acceptance to ensure that it fits with my background. I also know how to look for terms effectively on Internet - please see my KudoZ answers for examples.
* Consistency: Trados 7.5 is used whenever consistency is important.
* Language quality: All texts are printed out and proofread on paper by myself. In many cases I will also be able to provide proofreading by an external specialist.
* Deadline: I have a reserve computer in case of hardware crash and also run online backup every night. This way I never risk losing any more than one day's work. Deadlines are treated very seriously and I never bite off more than I can chew.

TERMS

* Availability: Please see the availability calendar on the left hand side of this page. Green means availability for ca. 2500 word/day (assuming no TM and standard difficulty), yellow for ca. 1000 words and red means unavailable. Typically proofreading speed for a text translated by a professional colleague is 1500 words/hour. Please note that I don't reserve time for a project before all the terms are settled.
* Standard price/daily capability: The standard word rates and daily capabilities outlined above are for plain, digital texts with no time-consuming formatting or tags. They do not apply to e.g. list of strings or other translations where excessive terminology research is required. A binding rate is only offered after review of the text.
* Discounts: I might charge less than standard rate from charitable organizations or for texts that are particularly interesting or easy. The following fuzzy rate discounts apply, provided the TM is built by myself, or otherwise reliable: 75-84% matches - 80% of word price, 85-94% matches - 60%, 95-100% matches/repetitions - 30 %.
* Follow-up: All mistakes in my translation will be corrected for free. I also provide other kinds of follow-ups (checking of PDF's etc.) free for up to one hour per 200 euro in the original order. Work exceeding this limit will be charged at the standard hourly rate.
* Payment terms: Only full advance payment from clients with negative reviews or no entries on Blue Board or other payment practises lists. Payment within the 30 days from the date of invoice unless otherwise agreed. No assignments are accepted from clients with overdue balances.

I offer the following payment methods:
* Bank account transfer (you cover outgoing fees, I cover incoming fees)
* Transfer from a MoneyBooker account (you cover uploading fees, I cover withdrawal fees)
* Transfer from a PayPal account (you cover uploading fees, I cover withdrawal fees)
* Credit card payment through MoneyBooker (you cover uploading fees, I cover withdrawal fees)
* Credit card payment through PayPal (PayPal charge a high % fee of the money received through credit cards, please add a 2,5% contribution towards this fee, I cover other withdrawal fees)
* Check (please add a 5 euro / 8 dollar contribution towards the cashing fee)

Most of my clients from continental Europe will find bank account transfer the cheapest option, most other clients choose transfer from a MoneyBooker/PayPal account.

All prices are stated without VAT. EU clients should note that in order to apply a zero-rate on intra-community supply, I need a valid VAT number.
