Source text - Spanish Aún no se veían los primeros rayos de sol cuando empezaron a sonar las sirenas. Era la madrugada del Miércoles 18 de Abril de 1906 y la ciudad de San Francisco se despertaba sacudida por un terremoto de 8,25 grados en la escala de Richter.
Translation - English The sun had yet not risen when the sirens began to sound. It was the morning of Wednesday, April 18, 1906 and the city of San Francisco was shaken awake by an earthquake measuring 8.25 on the Richter scale.
Finnish to English: Arek Application Platform General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Computers: Software
Source text - Finnish Arek-alusta on sovellusalusta, jonka päälle Arekin nykyiset Java J2EE -pohjaiset järjestelmät on toteutettu
Tulevat Java-pohjaiset järjestelmät on tarkoitus toteuttaa Arek-alustan päälle
Arek-alusta ratkaisee tietyt tekniset ongelmat kertaalleen niin hyvin, että samat ratkaisut voidaan tarjota useiden järjestelmien käyttöön
Kustannussäästö, kun ei ”keksitä pyörää uudestaan” joka järjestelmälle erikseen.
Vertaus (ehkä ontuva) autoteollisuudesta: Ford Focus ja Volvo V50 toteutettu saman alustan päälle, jossa tietyt asiat ratkaistu kertaalleen riittävän hyvin. Tätä alustaa kehitetään edelleen siinä missä sen päälle rakennettuja automalleja.
Translation - English Arek application platform is the platform on which existing Java J2EE-based systems of Arek have been developed
Future Java-based systems will be implemented on the Arek platform
The Arek Application Platfrom solves certain technical problems so well that the same solutions can be offered on a number of systems.
There are cost savings for each system, without ’inventing the wheel’ all over again.
The example (maybe lame) of auto industry. Ford Focus and Volvo V50 were carried out on the same platform, with cerain issus settled once and for all. The platform will be further developed to be built on top of car models.
