Yes, correct Claudia re the extent of the translation requested!
DS Trans Sep 6, 2013:
Oops - my last message was in response to an old comment of Claudia's, which I mistook to be the most recent!
DS Trans Sep 6, 2013:
Nu cred...I don't see evidence that it has been translated from Spanish. It's a difficult text to translate due to it's technicalities. Face is a common term in relation to lumber (at least in the US).
Claudia Coja Sep 6, 2013:
Denise Sintagma de tradus (postata de Danieline) este "worst meter". Restul textului, inclusiv "of one face", nu face obiectul prezentei intrebari...:) Si, cu siguranta, oricine doreste este liber sa faca orice completare sau sa propuna un raspuns mai bun :)
DS Trans Sep 6, 2013:
The face is the flat part of the timber. For example, if it's 4x4x10, there would be 4, each of 4x4x10, Claudia's translation is good except that the original says worst meter on one "face".
Claudia Coja Sep 5, 2013:
Nu sunt foarte sigura dar cred ca textul in engleza a fost tradus din spaniola...
danieline (asker) Sep 5, 2013:
multumesc nici nu intelegeam la ce se ferera... de altfel, tot textul are o formulare ciudata :)

va multumesc!
Claudia Coja Sep 5, 2013:
Danieline am citit contextul mai larg in care apare pasajul din referinte, daca am inteles bine este vorba despre cherestea... "can have 1 intergrown sound knot of maximum 10 mm (...) on the worst meter of one face" -ideea e ca se accepta un nod (nu stiu exact ce tip de nod e acesta...) pe suprafata (de un metru) considerata ca fiind cea mai slaba dpdv calitativ (pe una dintre fețe).
Cel mai rău/prost metru sună cam aiurea...:) Trebuie reformulat, cred eu, dar nu vad cum s-ar putea face asta in putine cuvinte...
