More Less | Sample translations submitted: 2 | Spanish to English: Multimedia Installation Instructions | Source text - Spanish Enchufe el conector verde de 8 pines X en el enchufe X. Si X está ya ocupado por un conector de 8 pines original, quite este conector original y enchúfelo en los 8 pines que están al descubierto en el otro extremo del cable.
Enchufe el conector hembra negro de 18 pines A en el enchufe A. Si A está ya ocupado por un conector de 18 pines original, quite este conector original y conéctelo al conector macho de 18 pines que está en el otro extremo del cable.
Ahora conecte los cables de colores del conector molex de 12 pines.
Conecte el cable negro a tierra.
Conecte el cable rojo al switch de accesorios de 12V.
El cable marrón solo se necesita cuando está instalando con un aparato de pantalla ancha 16:9. En este caso, conecte este cable a tierra. | Translation - English Plug the green 8 pin connector X into plug X. If an 8 pin factory connector is already plugged into X, take out this factory connector and plug it onto the 8 bare pins at the
interface end of the cable.
Plug the black 18 pin female connector A into plug A. Again, if there is an 18 pin factory connector already plugged into A, unplug this factory 18 pin connector and use it to plug
into the 18 pin male connector at the interface end of the cable.
Now connect the coloured single wires from the 12 pin molex connector.
The black wire should be connected to ground.
The red wire should be connected to the 12V accessory switch.
The brown wire is only needed when installing the interface with a 16:9 widescreen device. In this case, connect this wire to ground. | | Spanish to English: Political Dialogue - Indigenous Peoples | Source text - Spanish La emergencia indígena se inicia en la década de los 80, con el fortalecimiento de comunidades locales que han dado origen, progresivamente, al aparecimiento de organizaciones territoriales y/o étnicas, a coordinadoras regionales y a frentes nacionales e incluso “partidos políticos indígenas”. Aunque el estado de desarrollo de estos procesos (hacia lo nacional) es distinto según el país, en todos los casos tienen un alto grado de incidencia en los procesos políticos nacionales desde la década de 1980. Lo que vemos ahora, en los últimos tres años, hace parte de esa dinámica. | Translation - English The influence of the indigenous peoples started to emerge in the 1980s, with the strengthening of local communities which has led, in turn, to the appearance of territorial and/or ethnic organisations, regional co-ordinating committees and national fronts, and even “indigenous political parties”. Even though these processes are at different stages of national development depending on the country in question, in all cases they have had a considerable effect upon national political processes since the 1980s. What we are seeing now, in the last three years, forms part of this change. | More Less | British food, Business and Economy, European Wild Flowers, Geography, Idioms and Sayings, Medicine, Miscellaneous Kudoz Terms, Organisations, Ornithology, Painting and Decorating, Tech and Engineering More Less | | Master's degree - Translation and Technology, University of Heriot Watt (Edinburgh, UK) | | Years of translation experience: 6.

My specialist subjects:
I have a wide scope of knowledge in numerous fields including multimedia, instruction manuals, geography, general medicine, software and science, and particularly ornithology. Residence in Spain for several years has given me a sound knowledge of the language, including slang terms, as well as of the smaller details of Spanish culture.
Recent projects include:
Academic articles on global warming, carbon footprints and renewable energies.
Ongoing translation of documentation and exhibition labels for a Spanish science museum.
Catalogue of cements, mortars and other building materials.
Documents on shoe design and manufacture.
Articles on marine botany.
My background:
I have completed an MSc in Translation and Technology at the University of Heriot Watt (Edinburgh), passing both the diploma and the dissertation stages with distinction.
I also hold a BA in Spanish Language and Literature Major with French Minor - University of Leeds, UK.
Extensive period of residence in Spain.
Experience in technical (multimedia) and business translation, especially instruction manuals. I have hands on experience of working in a business environment in Spain.
