English to Khmer (Central): Overview of Diabetes General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English Diabetes is a silent epidemic that claims more lives each year than AIDS. In 2007, diabetes caused an estimated 3.5 million deaths across the world, according the World Diabetes Foundation.
Each year another 6 million people develop diabetes and the prevalence of the disease is growing faster in developing countries than in developed nations.
But in developing countries, many cases of diabetes are undiagnosed and untreated. In developing nations less than half of people with diabetes are diagnosed. Without timely diagnosis and adequate treatment, complications and deaths from diabetes rise exponentially.
In this issue we explain what diabetes what diabetes is, how it is caused and as health workers, how you can help treat and prevent it.
The diabetes epidemic consists primarily of type 2 diabetes and has occurred due to increased urbanization and rapid cultural change which leads to decreased physical activity and changes in diet.
In 1985 there were an estimated 30 million people with diabetes. Today diabetes affects more than 230 million people, almost 6% of the world’s adult population. The number of people living with diabetes is expected to grow to 350 million in less than 20 years if action is not taken.
Type 2 diabetes is responsible for 90-95% of diabetes cases, but 80% of type 2 diabetes cases are preventable by making changes to diet and increasing physical exercise.
English to Khmer (Central): Abortion and Family Planning in Cambodia General field: Medical
Source text - English Overview of Abortion and Family Planning in Cambodia
Abortion, whether spontaneous or induced, is next to childbirth the most common obstetric event in the world.
Last year more women of childbearing age died in Cambodia from pregnancy-related causes than from HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis put together. Nearly a third of these women are estimated to have died from unsafe abortion.
Current Situation of Abortion
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), of the 210 million pregnancies that occur each year, around 46 million worldwide end in induced abortions. Almost half of them are estimated to be unsafe. Nearly all unsafe abortions (97%) happen in developing countries and over half (55%) are in Asia.
More than 10 years after the adoption of the Abortion Law, access to abortion services is still very limited in Cambodia.
Many women risk their lives attempting to end their pregnancy themselves, seeking care at clinics run under unhygienic conditions by unskilled health workers or turning to traditional methods of unsafe abortion used by TBAs and traditional healers known as ‘Kru Khmer’, eg.:
- abdominal massage
- jumping
- oral herbal medication
- insertion of plant stems into vagina and cervix.

Bio
As a child born in 1979, a significant year in Cambodian history following the fall of Pol Pot's regime, I was raised in an ordinary family of medical professionals. Despite having limited access to educational resources, I persevered through my academic challenges and earned a diploma in banking from the Faculty of Law and Economics (now Royal University of Law and Economics), followed by a bachelor's degree in finance and banking from Build Bright University. While attending university, I worked part-time as a teacher of English and completed various freelance translation projects in Phnom Penh. I continue to teach and translate to this day, attending professional development trainings to improve my teaching methodology and translation skills.
I am proud to be the founder of KHMERTRANS, which offers an array of language services to individuals, government agencies, and foreign entities in Asian languages. Additionally, I am a certified member of the ProZ.com PRO Network and a translator for the language combination of English and Khmer. Lastly, I am honored to be a voting member of the American Translators Association. My impressive 17-year track record in translation is noteworthy, particularly due to the diverse range of topics I have worked on. My versatility in working with various types of documents, including those with Unicode fonts in different formats and styles, is a testament to my expertise. Additionally, my proficiency in using software applications such as MS Office, Acrobat Professional, SDL Trados, SmartCAT, MateCAT, Memsouce, XTM, and others CAT tools, showcases my adaptability and mastery. You can rest assured that I will handle your translation and proofreading projects with efficiency and effectiveness.
