German to Spanish: KUNSTHISTORISCHES MUSEUM LANDING PAGE General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - German Das Kunsthistorische Museum zählt zu den größten und bedeutendsten Museen der Welt. Es wurde von Kaiser Franz Joseph für die imperialen Sammlungen erbaut und enthält Objekte aus fünf Jahrtausenden: von der Zeit des Alten Ägypten über die griechische Antike bis zum Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts. Sie zeugen von der Sammelleidenschaft der Kaiser und Erzherzöge aus dem Hause Habsburg. Besondere Schwerpunkte liegen in der Kunst der Renaissance und des Barock. Ein großartiger Kunstgenuss ist auch die prachtvolle Architektur des Museums an der Ringstraße und der Bilderzyklus im imposanten Treppenhaus.
Translation - Spanish El Kunsthistorisches Museum es uno de los museos más importantes del mundo. Fue construido por el emperador Francisco José para albergar las colecciones imperiales y contiene objetos que abarcan cinco milenios: desde la época del antiguo Egipto o la antigua Grecia, hasta el final del siglo XVIII. Estos objetos dan testimonio de la pasión del emperador y de los archiduques de la casa de Habsburgo. Cabe destacar las obras de arte del Renacimiento y del Barroco. Resulta también un gran deleite artístico la magnífica arquitectura del museo en la Ringstrasse y el ciclo de pinturas de su imponente escalinata.
English to Spanish: Track 12 by J.G. Ballard General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English 'Gess again,' Sherigham said.
Maxted clipped on the headphones, carefully settled them over his ears. He concentrated as the disc began to spin, trying to catch some echo of identity.
The sound was a rapid metallic rustling, like iron filings splashing through a funnel. It ran for ten seconds, repeated itself a dozen times, then ended abruptly in a string of blips.
'Well?' Sherigham asked. 'What is it?'
Maxted pulled off his headphones, rubbed one of his ears. He had been listening to the records for hours and his ears felt bruised and numb.
'Could be anything. An ice-cube melting?'
Sherighma shook his head, his little beard wagging.
Maxted shrugged. 'A couple of galaxies colliding?'
'no. Sound waves don't travel thorugh space. I'll give you a clue. It's one of thoses proverbial sounds.' He seemed to be enjoying the catechism.
Translation - Spanish J.G. Ballard
- Prueba otra vez – apremió Sheringham
Maxted se colocó los auriculares haciendo presión ligeramente contra sus orejas. Cuando el disco comenzó a girar se concentró en intentar descifrar algún eco reconocible.
El sonido era un fugaz chirrido metálico, como limaduras pasando por un embudo. Duraba unos diez segundos y se repetía una docena de veces para acabar repentinamente en una serie de clincs.
- ¿Y bien? – Preguntó Sheringham - ¿Qué es?
Maxted se quitó los auriculares, tocándose una de las orejas. Había estado horas escuchando las grabaciones y las sentía doloridas e incapaces de reconocer nada.
- Podría ser cualquier cosa. ¿Un cubito de hielo derritiéndose? – Sheringham meneó la cabeza haciendo que su pequeña barba se balanceara. - ¿Un par de galaxias colisionando? – sugirió encogiéndose de hombros.
- No. Las ondas sonoras no viajan por el espacio exterior. Te daré una pista. Es uno de esos sonidos “corrientes” – parecía estar disfrutando de la lección.
English to Spanish: Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Health Care
Source text - English Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is one of over 40 lysosomal storage disorders. It is one of the most common of 8 mucopolysaccharide storage disorders.
MPS I is an autosomal recessive disorder and is caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-L-iduronidase, which leads to accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and cellular dysfunction. MPS I is a progressive, life-threatening, inherited metabolic disorder with an incidence of 1/100,000 newborns.
The disease encompasses a bread clinical spectrum, ranging from the most severe and rapidly progressive phenotype (Hurler) to attenuated and more slowly progressive forms (Hurler-Scheie and Scheie). Early signs and symptoms of the disease can be subtle and can resemble those of other more common diseases.
Diagnostic delay can have serious clinical consequences such as irreversible organ damage, deterioration, incorrect and damaging treatment and/or procedures (surgery, anesthesia), known to be associated with increased risk for attenuated patients.
Translation - Spanish La mucopolisacaridosis tipo I (MPS I) es uno de los 40 trastornos lisosomales de acumulación. Es uno de los más comunes dentro de los 8 trastornos mucopolisacaridos de acumulación.
La MPS I es un trastorno autosomal recesivo causado por una deficiencia en la enzima lisosomal α-L-iduronidasa, que provoca la acumulación de glicosaminoglicanos (GAG) y la disfunción celular. La MPS I es un trastorno metabólico, herediatario, degenerativo y letal que afecta a 1 de cada 100.000 neonatos.
La enfermedad engloba un amplio espectro clínico, desde el fenotipo más agudo y que conlleva un rápido proceso degenerativo (Hurler), hasta formas más atenuadas y de degeneración lenta (Hurler-Schiele y Schiele). Los primeros síntomas y signos de la enfermedad pueden ser muy tenues y asemejarse a otros relacionados con enfermedades más comunes.
Un diagnóstico tardío puede acarrear serias consecuencias clínicas, como por ejemplo, un daño o deterioro irreversibles a nivel orgánico, tratamientos erróneos o perjudiciales y/o intervenciones (cirugía, anestesia) que ponen en riesgo a pacientes con atenuación de la enfermedad.

Welcome to my profile in Proz.com and thanks for your interest in me for your project.
About my formation as a translator, you may be interested in knowing the following facts:
In the Valladolid University I graduated in Translation and Interpretation in 2005, majoring in Legal and Finance translation in my main pair of languages (English to Spanish). In my second pair of languages (German to Spanish) I got training in general translations and Tourism sector.
Afterwards, in the Jaume I University, I finished my Master's degree in Medical translation in 2008, which involved English into Spanish translations in diverse medical areas: pharmacology, microbiology, clinical research, leaflets...
Then in 2009 I completed an online course on literature translation.
On the other hand, you may be interested in knowing how I work as a professional translator:
My approach to any project is always founded in the conviction of increasing my knowledge and my experience while being able to contribute at the same time to create a high quality, non-literal translation. And, of course, having always in mind that the client satisfaction is one of the most important aspects. Communication is also essential to get the most of a project. That's why I discuss any aspect which I consider is relevant with the PM or the final client.
I have been in contact with languages for many years, both as a translator and also as a teacher. I strongly believe that my role as a teacher has strengthen my ability as a translator, since students always want to know how the language they are studying work or why, which makes me be alert to the grammar structures and term collocations.
Beyond my experience and my formation, I would say my resourcefulness and creativity, together with my memory, is what creates an outstanding background - also my self-confidence about my skills. All together, I would say, is one of my strengths. Another one is my honesty: I know my skills and also my limitations, and I am always true when it is about the projects I can join or not. In turn, I always expect the same honesty.
