English to Spanish: Sistema CRA General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Construction / Civil Engineering
Source text - English El Sistema CRA consiste en muros de carga y tabiques para la construcción de viviendas esencialmente unifamiliares. Esos muros y tabiques se construyen con hormigón aligerado con "Arlita " y un envolvente de chapa galvanizada de 0,75 mm de espesor utilizado como encofrado perdido. La chapa tiene longitudinalmente ( en el sentido vertical ) unas ranuras en forma de omega que sirven para sujetar las chapas al hormigón, y para el paso de todas las instalaciones. Cuando fragua el hormigón se dispone de unas superficie de planitud milimétrica, sobre las cuales se puede con tornillos rosca chapa atornillar cualquier acabado: laminados de cemento, de yeso,sistemas Webertherm, madera, fachadas ventiladas de Terreal, etc.	Translation - Spanish CRA system consists of load-bearing and partition walls for constructing single family houses. These load-bearing and partition walls are constructed with concrete, mixed with expanded clay and a covering made out of a 0,75 mm thick galvanized sheet used as a permanent frame. The sheet has omega-shaped slots lengthways (in vertical position) used to fix the sheets to the concrete and to install all the other installations. Once the concrete hardens, a perfectly flat surface is produced, where all types of surface finishes can be screwed on with threaded screws: concrete sheets, plaster sheets, Webertherm systems, wood, Terreal ventilated façades, etc.
Spanish to English: Demanda General field: Law/Patents Detailed field: Law (general)
Source text - Spanish En cumplimiento de la condición segunda, mi mandante hizo pago, según consta en el contrato suscrito, de la cantidad de XXXX, restando de pago la suma de XXX a abonar en el momento de la firma de la escritura pública correspondiente, lo cual no ha podido cumplimentarse aún por cuanto que los vendedores han hecho caso omiso de los continuos requerimientos efectuados por mi mandante en aras de elevar a escritura pública el contrato privado suscrito, motivo éste que no hace más que avocarnos a la petición judicial que se realiza a través de este procedimiento judicial. No obstante, y según se expresará más adelante, mi representada ha consignado en la Notaría XXX, la suma de XXX (resto del precio de la compraventa una vez deducido el importe actual del Impuesto sobre el Incremento de Valor de los Terrenos de Naturaleza Urbana- Plusvalía, de cargo de los vendedores), en prueba de su voluntad de dar cumplimiento al contrato privado de compraventa suscrito.	Translation - English In compliance with the second condition, my principal paid, as it is recorded in the subscribed contract, the amount of XXX, which it is deducted from the total amount of XXX that shall be paid when the relevant public deed is subscribed, a subscription which has not yet been made because the sellers have taken no notice of the continuous requests made by my principal in order to convert the subscribed private contract into a public deed. Therefore, we are obliged to make this judicial request through these legal proceedings. Nevertheless, as it shall be stated hereinafter, my client has paid at the Notary Public of XXX, the amount of XXX (the remainder of the purchase price once deducted the present local tax on increased value of urban real estate, which was the responsibility of the sellers), to prove his will to comply with the subscribed private contract of sale.
Spanish to English: El Corral de pesquería General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Fisheries
Source text - Spanish En la playa de la Jara, cuando baja la marea, puede contemplarse un paisaje turbador. La retirada de las aguas deja a la vista unos muros rocosos, perfectamente delimitados, una construcción submarina que, a la luz del atardecer, parece ser el último vestigio de alguna civilización perdida en el tiempo. Nada más alejado de la realidad. Esos muros no son otra cosa que un corral de pesquería, un arte de pesca antiquísimo, característico de la costa gaditana, del que tenemos una magnífica muestra en Sanlúcar de Barrameda. De origen árabe y usado por los romanos, un corral de pesquería es una construcción artificial y artesanal, una especie de coto marino cerrado, fabricado con una piedra porosa, muy común en nuestra costa, la piedra ostionera. Sus muros forman un semicírculo, cuyo lado abierto se despliega hacia la línea de playa, y constituyen el hábitat perfecto para una variada población de cangrejos, algas, moluscos y ostiones. El corral está a su vez dividido en pequeños corralillos de muros más pequeños. El muro exterior, que es más estrecho por la parte alta para favorecer la entrada del agua, puede llegar a medir casi tres metros de ancho, y de los cincuenta centímetros de altura que puede tener en la parte más cercana a la orilla, a medida que se va adentrando en el mar, puede alcanzar los dos metros. En estos muros hay unas aberturas, unos pequeños caños que sirven para desaguar el corral cuando va bajando la marea, cubiertos por un enrejado metálico o por un enrejado confeccionado con sarmientos de viña, que impide que los peces más grandes o las restantes especies adultas puedan escaparse por esos desagües. En la pleamar, las corrientes marinas y los vientos arrastran hacia el interior del corral a los peces y en la bajamar éstos quedan atrapados en el recinto, siendo la pesca entonces muy fácil. Este arte de pesca sólo puede darse en costas, como la sanluqueña, en las que hay una gran diferencia entre la bajamar y la pleamar	Translation - English At Jara Beach, when the tide goes out, a disturbing view meets the eye. Due to the low tide, some rocky walls can be seen perfectly marked out. It is a submarine construction that, under the sunset light, seems to be the last trace of a long lost civilization. On the contrary, those walls are only a fishyard, a very old fishing art that is characteristic of Cadiz’s coast and of which we have a wonderful example at Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Of Arab origin and having been used by the Romans, a fishyard is an artificial and handcrafted construction, a kind of closed fishing reserve made of a porous stone, commonly found on Cadiz’s coast, called “oyster stone” or “piedra ostionera”. Its walls form a semicircle, which faces the beach and constitute the perfect habitat for a diverse colony of crabs, seaweed, mollusks and oysters. The fishyard is, in turn, divided into smaller fishyards with smaller walls. The outward facing wall, which is narrower at the higher part for favoring the entrance of water, can measure nearly three meters wide and can be fifty centimeters high at the nearest part to the shore and, as it deepens into the sea, it can reach up to two meters high. These walls have some openings or pipes for draining the fishyard when the tide goes out, which are covered with a metallic net or with a natural net made with vine shoots that prevents the bigger and adult fishes from escaping through the pipes. At high tide, the ocean currents and the wind pull the fish to the fishyard and at low tide, they get trapped in it, making it very easy to catch them. This fishing art can only be practiced on coasts, such as that of Sanlúcar, where there is a great difference between the high and low tides.

About me

I have a degree and a Master's degree on English-Spanish-English translation and interpreting, as well as 9 years experience as a professional translator and interpreter.
My native language is European Spanish.
When I was ten years old, I started studying English with a family in Ireland during summers, for 6 consecutive years, so by the age of 16 I was fluent in English.
My interest in languages brought me to study Translation and Interpreting at Granada University (Spain), where I also started studying Arabic and French.
During my third year at University I obtained an Erasmus grant to study Translation and Interpreting in Scotland, at the renowned translation university Heriot-Watt (Edinburgh), where I studied with famous translation theorists like Basel Hatim and Ian Mason and where I had the opportunity to gain interpreting experience with professional booths.
After finishing university, my Arabic level was not good enough for translating, so I decided to keep on studying it in an Arabic country, which led me to Syria, where I spent 9 months at Damascus University. Afterwards, I obtained a grant to continue my Arabic studies in Egypt, where I studied at the American University in Cairo.
When I came back to Spain (2004), I started working as a free-lance translator and interpreter for different agencies, publishing trusts, foundations, private clients, etc, while I kept on studying translation at Toledo (Specialist Course on Arabic-Spanish Translation) and Granada (Masters on Translation)
I have also received training in the field of international cooperation (International University of Andalousia) and I have worked for the regional government of Cadiz (the city where I now live), Cadiz University and other administrative bodies as a consultant, interpreter and translator for international cooperation projects in Morocco financed by the European Union.
Since 2010, I have set up my own translation and cooperation agency Algarabia International Solutions, and I combine it with my work as a freelancer for other agencies and clients.
