Source text - English -- We are all born receptive to love, kindness and hope.
As we grow up, we encounter the less hopeful, more challenging aspects of being human, including discovering that the things humans do at times can be hateful, calculating and unkind.
-- Everyone has dreams. Whether they are big or small, they have vast importance in our lives. However, the procrastinator in all of us doesn't have to win. “The Little Engine That Could” was on to something with the whole "I think I can" mentality. With just a little bit of planning, accomplishing a goal is a simple task.
-- Many students don't get enough shut-eye the previous night. As a result, the students may fall asleep during class. Those students could get in trouble. If you love sleep as much as me, here are a few methods on how to sleep in class and get away with it.
Translation - Portuguese Todos nós nascemos receptivos ao amor, a bondade e a esperança, mas à medida que crescemos descobrimos o lado mais desafiador e menos otimista dos seres humanos. Percebemos que, às vezes, os humanos podem ter atitudes detestáveis, indelicadas e calculistas.
- Todos nós temos sonhos. Sejam eles grandes ou pequenos, eles têm uma grande importância em nossas vidas. No entanto, acabamos adiando todos eles. O livro infantil “The Little Engine That Could” (A Pequena Locomotiva) que não se recusou a tentar adotou a mentalidade “Eu vou conseguir”. Com um pouco de planejamento, atingir um objetivo é uma tarefa simples.
-Muitos estudantes não dormem o suficiente na noite anterior. Como resultado, podem adormecer durante a aula. Esses alunos podem se meter em encrenca. Se você adora dormir assim como a maioria das pessoas, aqui estão alguns métodos de como você pode dormir durante a aula e não ser pego.

Source text - English English
Preparing to confront Ebola – just in case
Countries in Africa have been working on improving their preparedness in the event of an Ebola outbreak. The WHO teams have provided simulated exercises in hospitals and technical training, for immediate emergency response and communication.
Mamo Jatta is a Regional Public Health and Surveillance Officer in The Gambia and, like many people living near Ebola affected countries, he is concerned the disease will enter his own country, “I recently visited the town where I grew up and wondered what would happen if Ebola were to hit us here, would we be ready for it?”
Experts at WHO have the same concerns – and they are transforming these into action. Ebola has already been exported, albeit resulting only in small outbreaks, from the three most-affected countries to the neighbouring countries of Mali, Nigeria and Senegal. Now, because of their geographic location or trading and migration patterns, 14 additional countries are considered as priority countries, in terms of risk of Ebola importation: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Mauritania, Niger, Togo, The Gambia, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“The Ebola outbreaks and response in Nigeria and Senegal showed the world that the disease can be stopped if a country is adequately prepared from the outset,” observed Isabelle Nuttall, Director of the Global Capacities, Alert and Response department at WHO. “WHO is now working with all countries on the at-risk list to help them meet the same standards for preparedness.”

Isabelle Nuttall, Director, Global Capacities, Alert and Response, WHO
The WHO teams provide simulated exercises in hospitals and technical training, for immediate emergency response and communication, to help countries identify opportunities for improvement in order to strengthen their preparedness in the event of an outbreak. Mamo participated in the training and says that, “The mission is timely, as The Gambia prepares for Ebola. It has revealed a lot about our strengths and weaknesses and what we can do better, particularly in the area of coordination.”
Mamo is talking about the first component of the Ebola preparedness checklist, developed by WHO, that calls for overall emergency coordination- designating roles to all national and international agencies in case of an outbreak. The teams are using the checklist in their workshop to review with doctors, government officials, and border guards, among others, the first steps that need to be taken when a case of Ebola appears in the country. The comprehensive checklist follows WHO’s International Health Regulations and is used to identify concrete actions for countries and how they will be supported by the international community.
Lessons learned
The checklist further helps teams to make recommendations on community engagement, infection prevention and control, case management, Ebola Treatment Centres, safe dignified burials or safe alternatives, epidemiological surveillance, contact tracing, laboratory capacity, and border crossing preparedness. The recommendations of the teams can vary- from implementing rapid response teams that carry out infection, prevention, and control measures to identifying diagnostic laboratories that can efficiently test for Ebola and safely transport samples to the laboratory.
The team works closely with the country’s Ministry of Health and international partners, including the UN Mission for Emergency Ebola Response, to best incorporate the recommendations according to each specific country context.
Putting theory into practice
All 13 countries have unique health systems, and WHO is conducting training sessions in each of them to help key actors complete the tasks on the check list. In part, the training sessions involve simulated exercises – for example in hospital settings, where participants seek to meet the gold standard for infection control. There are also table-top sessions where participants do the concrete work needed to determine how national authorities will coordinate their actions with partner organizations and the UN Mission for Emergency Ebola Response.
At present, the training missions represent a race to help countries ready themselves to quickly stamp out any further Ebola outbreaks, but there are broader implications. The exercise is giving countries an opportunity to take a closer look at the functioning of their health systems overall. “Preparedness efforts in Ghana brought sharper focus on the health system and revealed strengths and weaknesses,” says Dr Magda Robalo, WHO Representative to Ghana, where a training session recently took place. “The country’s Ministry of Health will capitalize on the lessons learned during the training.”

Preparação para o Ebola – descobrindo eventualidades
Os países africanos têm trabalhado para melhorar sua prontidão na hipótese de um surto de Ebola. As equipes da OMS providenciaram exercícios de simulação e capacitação técnica nos hospitais para resposta e comunicação de emergência imediatas.
Mamo Jatta é Técnico / Funcionário Regional de Vigilância e Saúde Pública na Gâmbia e, como muitas pessoas que vivem próximas aos países afetados pelo Ebola, está preocupado que a doença entre em seu país, “visitei recentemente a cidade onde cresci e me perguntei o que aconteceria se o Ebola nos atingisse aqui? será que estaríamos preparados para isso?
Especialistas da OMS (Organização Mundial de Saúde) têm as mesmas preocupações – e estão transformando as mesmas em ação. O Ebola já foi exportado, embora resultando em pequenos surtos, dos três países mais afetados próximos a Mali, Nigéria e Senegal. Agora, por causa de sua localização geográfica ou padrões de comércio e migração, outros 14 países são considerados como países prioritários em termos de risco de importação de Ebola: Benin, Burkina Faso, Camarões, Costa do Marfim, República Centro-Africana, Etiópia, Gana, Guiné Bissau, Mauritânia, Níger, Togo, Gâmbia, Sudão do Sul e República Democrática do Congo.
“Os surtos e a resposta de Ebola de Nigéria e Senegal mostraram ao mundo que a doença pode ser interrompida desde que o país esteja adequadamente preparado desde o início”, mencionou Isabelle Nuttall, Diretora de Capacidades Globais, Alerta e Resposta do Departamento da OMS. “A OMS está agora trabalhando com todos os países da lista de risco para ajudá-los a encontrarem as mesmas normas de preparação.”

Isabelle Nuttall, Diretora de Capacidades Globais, Alerta e Resposta da OMS
O comitê da OMS fornece exercícios de simulação e capacitação técnica em hospitais para uma resposta de emergência e comunicação imediatas, para ajudar os países a identificarem oportunidades de melhoria a fim de reforçar a sua preparação em caso de surto. Mamo participou do treinamento e disse que, “A missão é oportuna, à medida que a Gâmbia se prepara para o Ebola. Ele evidenciou muito e nos revelou muito sobre os nossos pontos fracos e fortes e que, nós podemos fazer melhor, particularmente, na área da articulação”.
Mamo está falando sobre o primeiro componente da lista de verificação de preparação para o Ebola elaborada pela OMS que chama para coordenação geral de emergência- atribuindo funções a todas as agências nacionais e internacionais no caso de um surto. As equipes estão utilizando a lista de verificação em suas oficinas para rever com médicos, funcionários públicos, guardas de fronteiras, entre outros, os primeiros passos a serem tomados quando aparecer um caso de Ebola no país. A lista de verificação abrangente segue o Regulamento Sanitário Internacional da OMS e é utilizada para identificar ações concretas nos países e como as mesmas serão apoiadas pela comunidade internacional.
Lições aprendidas
A lista de verificação também ajuda as equipes a fazerem recomendações sobre o envolvimento na comunidade, controle de prevenção de infecções, gestão dos casos, centros de tratamento do Ebola, enterros seguros e dignos ou alternativas seguras, rastreamento de contato, vigilância epidemiológica, capacidade laboratorial, preparação de passagem de fronteira. As recomendações das equipes podem variar desde a implementação de equipes de resposta rápida que possam aplicar medidas de prevenção e controle de infecções na identificação de laboratórios de diagnóstico que possam eficientemente realizar testes de Ebola e transportar amostras, com segurança, as amostras até o laboratório.
A equipe trabalha em estreita colaboração com o Ministério da Saúde e países internacionais incluindo a Missão das Nações Unidas para Resposta de Emergência ao Ebola (UNMEER, em inglês) para incorporar melhor as recomendações de acordo com o contexto de cada país.
Colocar a teoria em prática
Todos os 13 países têm sistemas de saúde únicos, a OMS está realizando sessões de formação em cada um deles para ajudar os principais intervenientes a completarem as tarefas da lista de verificação. Em parte, as sessões de capacitação envolvem exercícios de simulação – por exemplo, em ambientes hospitalares, em que os participantes buscam atender o padrão ouro de controle de infecção. Há também sessões teóricas em que os participantes fazem o trabalho concreto necessário para determinar como as autoridades nacionais coordenarão suas ações com organizações parceiras e Missão das Nações Unidas para a Resposta de Emergência ao Ebola.
Atualmente, as missões de capacitação representam uma corrida para ajudar os países a se prepararem a eliminar rapidamente quaisquer outros surtos de Ebola, mas há implicações mais amplas. O exercício é dar aos países uma oportunidade de analisar mais de perto o funcionamento geral dos seus sistemas de saúde. "Os esforços de preparação em Gana trouxeram um foco mais preciso sobre o sistema de saúde e revelaram os pontos fortes e fracos", diz a Dra. Magda Robalo, Representante da OMS em Gana, em que ocorreu uma sessão de formação recentemente. "O Ministério da Saúde do país aproveitará as lições aprendidas durante a capacitação."

English to Portuguese: Biodiversity General field: Science Detailed field: Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
Source text - English Biodiversity is the sum of all species on the planet. Some of these species contain important substances that treat several diseases. The most relevant thing about biodiversity is that rich North needs it and the poor South has it.
One of the ways to promote a sustainable development is to pay the poor nations to save the forests that they still have. Resources can be extracted but not exhausted. Thus, the environment can be preserved.
The Earth belongs to all mankind. Everybody needs to help in the protection of the planet. And there is much to do. We have to fight pollution in all its forms to avoid acid rain, the greenhouse effect, and the death of species, rivers, lakes and seas.
Translation - Portuguese Biodiversidade
Biodiversidade é a soma de todas as espécies existentes no planeta. Algumas dessas espécies contêm substâncias importantes para o tratamento de diversas doenças. O aspecto mais relevante a respeito da biodiversidade é que o rico Norte precisa e o pobre Sul a possui.
Uma das formas de promover um desenvolvimento sustentável é pagar às nações mais pobres para que poupem as florestas que ainda têm. Recursos podem ser extraídos, mas não esgotados. Dessa forma, o meio ambiente pode ser preservado.
A Terra pertence a toda a humanidade. Todos nós precisamos ajudar a proteger o planeta. E há muito a ser feito. Temos que combater a poluição em todas as suas formas a fim de evitar chuvas ácidas, o efeito estufa e a extinção das espécies, rios, lagos e mares.

Hello everyone! I have always had a passion for languages and learning about different cultures. I LOVE what I do what I LOVE. I don't see translation solely as my profession - I feel it as a calling.
I am a native Portuguese speaker from Brazil, language learning enthusiast- English, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish.
I started loving languages at the very moment I started studying them. I believe I was 18 years old at the time. First English, then Spanish and now Italian. At first, however, I didn't think I was going to end up working with them.
My career was built in large public schools but I felt the need for a shift towards greater autonomy and quality of life, as I've always been passionate about languages, reading and constant learning I've found a new path in translation and my experience of more than 7 years in large companies will make your texts seem as if they were originally written by a native, flowing smoothly and naturally, for this reason, I have worked as a freelance English to Brazilian Portuguese.
I took a basic Spanish course only one year and I am currently studying Italian to add a third language to my range of work and (I have a huge passion for the Laura Pausini and Eros Ramazzotti's songs). I study like a manic for assignments, so yes, one could say I'm a nerd. Grateful, guided and blessed. Favorite expression: "Thank you, Universe".
Since 2019, I have audio described static and dynamic images in Portuguese (Brazil) to improve accessibility for users who have impaired vision.
I pursue excellence in everything I do. As part of a detail-oriented process, each word is thoroughly and expertly researched by using countless specialized dictionaries and glossaries to ensure that terminology is translated accurately and precisely. Try me!
My overall aim is to help you communicate your message more clearly and to ensure that the content is adapted and personalized for your target audience.
My mission is to provide linguistic services, with the aim to offer high quality translations at competitive prices.
