300k words translation of technical manuals for electron and ion microscopes
Ongoing project for the translation of manuals for electron and ion microscopes and related devices.
Since the project first started in November 2009, I have translated 14 different user manuals and for three of them I have translated the updated version.
Each manual comprises sections on safety, principle of operation, transport and storage, operation, maintenance and repair, troubleshooting, shutdown and disposal, parts and tools, declaration of conformity.

English to Italian: Technical - Heating Systems
Source text - English Central heating systems
Central heating systems in most modern homes have a forced-air distribution system like the one shown at right. Typically, a gas or oil furnace heats air, and the blower propels it into supply ducts that carry it throughout the house. Return ducts carry the air back to the heat source. To heat a house evenly, a forced-air system may need to be balanced by adjusting the dampers inside the supply ducts that control air distribution. A dirty filter, poorly adjusted dampers, and obstructed registers are the usual causes of inefficient heating by a forced-air system.
Most other central heating systems use pipes to carry hot water or steam to convectors or radiators throughout the house. Easily solved problems, such as trapped air or insufficient boiler water, are the most common causes of complaints.
Adjusting and fixing a gas furnace is relatively easy. Except for changing oil and air filters and restarting the unit in an emergency, oil furnace repairs are best left to a professional.
One or more thermostats control a central heating system. You can clean and adjust a troublesome mechanical thermostat; replace an electronic model that tests faulty. For safety, keep the area around a furnace clear of combustible materials. Cut off both fuel and electricity to a furnace whenever you shut it down for repairs. Don't try to remove the asbestos coating found on some older ducts or pipes; that's a job for an asbestos-abatement contractor (listed in the Yellow Pages).
Translation - Italian Sistemi di riscaldamento centrale
Nella maggior parte delle abitazioni moderne, i sistemi di riscaldamento presentano un sistema di distribuzione ad aria insufflata, come quello mostrato qui a destra. Tipicamente, una caldaia a gas o ad olio combustibile riscalda l’aria e la ventola la sospinge in condotti di alimentazione che la trasportano in tutta la casa. I condotti di ritorno riportano l’aria alla sorgente di calore. Per riscaldare una casa in modo uniforme, potrebbe essere necessario regolare gli attenuatori di flusso all’interno dei condotti di alimentazione che controllano la distribuzione dell’aria, in modo che il sistema ad aria insufflata risulti bilanciato. Un filtro sporco, attenuatori di flusso non ben regolati e registri otturati sono le cause abituali di riscaldamento inefficiente nel caso di sistemi ad aria insufflata.
Gli altri sistemi di riscaldamento utilizzano per lo più tubi che trasportano acqua calda o vapore a radiatori o convettori posti in vari punti della casa. I più comuni motivi di lamentela sono problemi di facile soluzione, come la presenza di aria intrappolata o un’insufficienza d’acqua nella caldaia.
Regolare e riparare una caldaia a gas è relativamente semplice. Al contrario, gli interventi su caldaie ad olio combustibile, ad eccezione del cambio dei filtri di olio ed aria e del riavvio dell’unità in caso di emergenza, vanno eseguiti da professionisti.
Un sistema di riscaldamento centrale è controllato da uno o più termostati. È possibile pulire e regolare un termostato meccanico che dia problemi; un modello elettronico che risulti malfunzionante va invece sostituito. Per motivi di sicurezza, l’area intorno alla caldaia deve essere mantenuta sgombra da materiali combustibili. Ogni volta che si arresta il sistema per eseguire delle riparazioni è necessario interrompere sia l’alimentazione di combustibile della caldaia che quella elettrica. Non bisogna cercare di rimuovere il rivestimento di amianto che si può trovare su tubi e condutture vecchi; rivolgersi ad un professionista della bonifica dell’amianto (si trovano sulle Pagine Gialle).

Profile:
I am an Italian native, experienced technical and scientific translator extablished in 2006, working with full confidence in fields ranging from mathematics and physics, through biology and engineering, to electronics and software.
My language pairs are English to Italian, Spanish to Italian and French to Italian.
I have an advanced knowledge of all my source languages, which I constantly keep up and improve by means of practice and reading.
I have a Master's degree in Physics and I've been awarded a three years Ph.D. scholarship in Physics at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris. In addition to the notions and skills I gained in my undergraduate and graduate studies, I pursue continuing professional development through high quality e-learning courses in a range of technical and scientific disciplines, all the while keeping myself up to date with recent developments through scientific journals and magazines.
