English to Spanish: Ancient Persia (for worldhistory.org)
Source text - English The Seleucid & Parthian Empires
After Alexander's death in 323 BCE, his empire was divided among his generals. One of these, Seleucus I Nicator (r. 305-281 BCE), took Central Asia and Mesopotamia, expanding the territories, founding the Seleucid Empire, and Hellenizing the region. Seleucus I kept the Persian model of government and religious toleration but filled top administrative positions with Greeks. Even though Greeks and Persians intermarried, the Seleucid Empire favored Greeks and Greek became the language of the court. Seleucus I began his reign putting down rebellions in some areas and conquering others but always maintaining the Persian governmental policies which had worked so well in the past.
Even though this same practice was followed by his immediate successors, regions rose in revolt and some, like Parthia and Bactria, broke away. In 247 BCE, Arsaces I of Parthia (r. 247-217 BCE) established an independent kingdom which would become the Parthian Empire. The Seleucid king Antiochus III (the Great, r. 223-187 BCE) would retake Parthia briefly in c. 209 BCE, but Parthia was on the rise and shook off Seleucid rule afterwards.
Translation - Spanish Los Imperios seléucida y parto
Tras la muerte de Alejandro en el 323 a.C., su imperio se dividió entre sus generales. Uno de ellos, Seleuco I Nicator (que gobernó del 305 al 281 a.C.), se hizo con Asia Central y Mesopotamia, por lo que ganó territorio y fundó el Imperio seleúcida, y helenizó la región. Seleuco I mantuvo el modelo de gobierno persa y la tolerancia religiosa, pero llenó los altos cargos administrativos con griegos. Aunque griegos y persas se casaron entre sí, el Imperio seleúcida favoreció a los griegos y el griego se convirtió en la lengua de la corte. Seleuco I comenzó su reinado al detener rebeliones en algunas zonas y conquistar otras, pero siempre mantuvo la política gubernamental persa que tan bien había funcionado en el pasado.
Aunque sus sucesores inmediatos siguieron esta misma práctica, algunas regiones se rebelaron y, como en el caso de Partia y Bactria, llegaron a separarse. En el año 247 a.C., Arsaces I de Partia (que gobernó del 247 al 217 a.C.) estableció un reino independiente que se convertiría en el Imperio parto. El rey seléucida Antíoco III (el Grande, que reinó del 223 al 187 a.C.) retomaría Partia brevemente alrededor del 209 a.C., pero Partia estaba en alza y se quitó de encima el dominio seléucida.

Bio
More than 15 years of experience as a translator and proofreader, and willing to learn every single day. I'm Miriam López, a native Spanish translator and interpreter with the following language pairs: EN/ES, ES/EN, DE/ES. I've worked in several projects and for different translation agencies (AMI-Trans, MTM Translation, Kyoti¡o traducciones, ADP Spain and University of Leon among others) and clients over the years, and my main fields of expertise go from law and legal documents, medicine, IT software to localization and transcreation, history and literary texts. I love my work and I'd be very much interested in being involved in your project. This is a very changing and challenging industry and every translator must be aware of the changes and updates, own his/her glossaries, dictionaries, sources, apps, and of course learn new CAT tools every now and then.
It is a truly daring and inspiring profession.
