¿Qué características cree que tiene que tener un traductor literario?

Eso es muy difícil de medir, porque los perfiles de los traductores son muy variopintos. Pero yo creo que sobre todo tienes que tener una curiosidad brutal, te tiene que interesar todo. También tienes que tener un sentido lingüístico especial. Los alemanes lo llaman “sentimiento lingüístico”, que es un concepto un poco extraño en castellano pero muy expresivo, un sentimiento de la propia lengua, un sentido táctil de lo que estás escribiendo y, volviendo a la primera pregunta, de que estás escribiendo. Eso es lo que me parece fundamental. Luego hay algo que nadie podría definir, que es lo que diferencia al buen traductor del traductor, digamos, mediano. Yo diría que esto es como La Bamba, hace falta una poca de gracia y otra cosita.

We specialize in offering perfume samples and perfume decants of a superlative array of fragrances. What we do is spray, pour, or use sterile pipettes to take perfume from its original large bottle and repackage it in a smaller bottle (we only use brand new sterile glass bottles) so that the consumer can try as many fragrances as they desire before buying a full bottle.

El 60% del territorio gallego es superficie forestal, el 11% del total español. Casi el 70% es de propiedad privada. Existen 670.000 propietarios con una media de 2 hectáreas. El 28%, pertenece a las comunidades de vecinos. Sólo el 2% de ese terreno es de propiedad pública (en Europa, la media es el 35%). En los últimos años, Galicia produjo más del 60% de la madera de eucalipto de España y la 3ª parte de la madera de pino. Pero el mayor cambio se ha producido en la geografía social. Además de (protagonizar) las grandes emigraciones, la población gallega ha abandonado el campo sin que lo parezca. A principios de los años 50, el 85% del censo habitaba en el rural y un 70% vivía de la agricultura. Cuando España se incorpora a la UE son aprox. un 35% las personas con actividad económica agrícola/ganadera. En la actualidad no alcanzan el 7%. Pero la principal singularidad se mantiene: la dispersión de la población. El gallego sigue viviendo pegado a la tierra, pero le ha dado la espalda.

Jost Zetzsche, The 207th Tool Box Newsletter:
Eñaut Urrestarazu has launched a new site called Translation Tutorials that contains instructional videos for all kinds of mainstream tools (such as Trados), along with tools that you might not have heard about, such as Xbench, CatCount, and Change Tracker. Eñaut has organized the sites into various categories, many of which are still empty and awaiting your contributions. The majority of the existing videos are free, no-nonsense, and very informative, with only a couple that ask for payment.

Comprehensive Trados 2011 manual for freelancers written by Swedish translator Mats Linder. Its 280-some pages cover virtually all aspects relevant to the freelance translator. Yes, a spellcheck would have been helpful and/or a native English proofreader wouldn't have hurt either, but it's one of those books that demonstrates the hard-earned knowledge of the author and his determination to communicate it.
Mats does not confine his manual to the main Trados application, but he points his readers to a good number of plug-ins from SDL's OpenExchange program as well as other third-party products that can be useful in combination with Trados. He's also not shy about highlighting some of the shortcomings of Trados, such as the processing of PDF files, but overall he is very positive and encouraging and manages to communicate both to a novice as well as a more advanced user.

The improvisatory space in which the indies thrived has shrunk for several reasons. One is the ever-prevalent and finely tuned ability for corporate culture to absorb fringe behaviour and repackage it and market it as cutting edge. Another is the formalising of Britain's creative industries, a process that has seen the development of college degrees in music business, music journalism and, indeed, being in a band, lead to industry standardisation. The independent sector's greatest attributes – its ability to ad-lib, to trust its instincts and to hang the consequences are both impracticable and unteachable in such rigid frameworks. The sort of behaviour that allowed Wilson, McGee, Watts-Russell and their contemporaries to conceive some of their more extreme and fanciful ideas would also be something of a stretch for a human resources department to manage.

The Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii Collection features color photographic surveys of the vast Russian Empire made between ca. 1905 and 1915. Frequent subjects among the 2,607 distinct images include people, religious architecture, historic sites, industry and agriculture, public works construction, scenes along water and railway transportation routes, and views of villages and cities. An active photographer and scientist, Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) undertook most of his ambitious color documentary project from 1909 to 1915. The Library of Congress purchased the collection from the photographer's sons in 1948.

If you have been provided with a Word document and a 2007 Translation Memory and have been asked to provide an unclean bilingual file by your customer:

1) Create the bilingual document, pretranslated against the 2007 Translation Memory. To do this you open the memory in SDL Trados Translators Workbench and use the Translate feature under Tools. a) You must have "Segment unknown sentences" checked to ensure the file is fully segmented even where no match is found from the 2007 TM; b) You must uncheck the "TRADOStag XML workflow for Word .doc files" to avoid getting a *.TTX file instead;

2) Now you can add your doc file by clicking "Add" and then "Translate". The result will be a fully segmented doc file that you can now open in Studio 2011 for translation.

3) Translate in Studio, save bilingual as Target and, if relevant, update the TM using Workbench.

Confirm and Translate until Next Fuzzy Match
This command will do the following:
Move into all segments, no matter its status. (The exception being locked TUs - manually or through PerfectMatch). So no skipping of already confirmed segments as now.
Do a TM lookup in each segment:
If it's a 100% match, continue to the next segment.
If it's a new, non-100% match, stop.
If there is a changed target, stop.
When editing is finished, the user calls "Translate to Fuzzy" again and these steps get repeated until the end of the document is reached or Esc is pressed.

Cómo analizar archivos rápidamente en Trados Studio 2011.

- The basic concept is to create a Project that you only use for analysis and then you leave this permanently in the Projects view.

- Para que se analicen las repeticiones internas (dentro del propio archivo): "In Studio we have an option called Report internal fuzzy match leverage. This can be activated under All Language Pairs - Batch Processing - Analyze Files."

About
My name is Ken Titmuss and my walks use old maps to help you find lost London. Each walk is round a specific, often over-looked London neighbourhood. If you are looking for a theme, it is history in unlikely places.

My walks celebrate everyday London and the many unsung local heroes who have contributed to the richness of this great metropolis. Most people who join these walks are either live here or who visit regularly and have ticked the usual tourist boxes. Be that as it may everyone is welocme.

I started London Trails after a 30 year career providing advice, support and encouragement to community groups across London. I thought it was time I shared my passion for London.

I am immensely proud to be in The Guardian’s Top 10 London Guided Walks

Today, with the reliance and dependability of search, we pretty much get exactly what Google thinks we are looking for – and I think that’s a problem.

The ramping of this idea of “social search” or giving us results based on where we’ve been before, where we are now, who we know and what our friends have +1’d is leading us further down the path where no real learning or discovery is even possible. (And this is not just if you click the social search icon, you can’t turn some elements of this off anymore.)

You’re no longer in charge of what you discover unless you take charge.

To me the new master skill is undiscovery of what you already know and this is quickly turning into something you’ll have to intentionally practice as we live our lives more and more fully online.

The price is high to keep volume low (less customer support), and all profits go to Beaver Brook to continue the forest regeneration program Zach started there.

It’s harder to imagine the past that went away than it is to imagine the future. What we were prior to our latest batch of technology is, in a way, unknowable. / In my lifetime I’ve been able to watch completely different narratives of history emerge. The history now of what World War II was about and how it actually took place is radically different from the history I was taught in elementary school. If you read the Victorians writing about themselves, they’re describing something that never existed. The Victorians didn’t think of themselves as sexually repressed, and they didn’t think of themselves as racist. They didn’t think of themselves as colonialists. They thought of themselves as the crown of creation.
Of course, we might be Victorians, too.

Fink session for the Dutch program 2 Meter Sessies. Recorded on October 9th, 2011.

Cuando un expatriado regresa a su país, se genera un choque cultural reverso. Se trata del impacto de una persona que regresa a su cultura original o país de origen (entiéndase de donde es nacional o donde ha establecido residencia habitual) después de haber vivido en una cultura extranjera por un período mayor a un año. Estas personas, se encuentran a menudo con cambios, debiendo enfrentarse a una readaptación. Se genera en ellos una combinación de expectativas, emociones y tensiones que experimentan cuando regresa a su país de origen.
Estos cambios, afectan al expatriado física y psíquicamente, presentando una sintomatología muy específica que se traduce en dolores de cabeza, desorden del sueño (insomnio o exceso de sueño) y en los hábitos alimenticios, depresión, aburrimiento, pérdida de la energía, agresividad, resentimiento, entre otros, que les pueden llevar en ocasiones a tener problemas con la pareja, incluso aislamiento.
