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
| 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. |

Spanish to English Translations
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.
