Source text - English The term climate change refers to global changes in temperature, wind patterns, and precipitation. These changes are being driven by a gradual warming of the Earth's atmosphere (commonly referred to as global warming). The Earth's climate has been changing slowly over the centuries. Cold periods have alternated with warm periods. However, these changes have been happening at a much faster and devastating rate in recent years. The 1980s and 1990s were the warmest decades on record. Science indicates that this acceleration is due to human activity.
Translation - Spanish El término “cambio climático” está referido a las variaciones globales en torno a la temperatura, patrones de vientos y precipitaciones. Estos cambios están siendo ocasionados por el calentamiento gradual de la atmósfera de la tierra (comúnmente denominado “calentamiento global”). Los climas terrestres han ido cambiando paulatinamente a lo largo de los siglos. Los periodos fríos se han alternado con los periodos calientes. Sin embargo, estos cambios se han ido produciendo de una manera más rápida y devastadora en años recientes. Los años ochentas y noventas fueron décadas en que se registraron niveles de calentamiento récord. La ciencia indica que esta aceleración se debe a la actividad del ser humano.

Source text - English Information about Bipolar I Disorder
What is:
Bipolar I disorder is a brain illness that causes extreme
shifts in your mood and energy level. It is also known
as manic-depressive illness. The manic state makes
you feel extra joyful, edgy, or excited. The depressive
state makes you feel very sad. You may even have lots
of energy and feel very sad at the same time. This is
called a mixed state.
You may have bipolar I disorder if you have a number
of manic or depressed feelings for most of the day,
nearly every day, for at least 1 or 2 weeks. If you
have 4 or more bipolar events in 1 year, it is called
rapid cycling.
These shifts in mood and energy levels are not the
same as the normal ups and downs that people have
from time to time. They are much more severe.
There is no cure for bipolar I disorder. But it can
be treated. Over 10 million people in the United
States have bipolar disorder.
What Causes Bipolar I Disorder?
Bipolar I disorder tends to run in families. It may
be set off by stress or a lack of sleep, or there may be
no trigger at all. If you have bipolar I disorder, the
chemicals in your brain are out of balance. This can
make your mood shift.
Signs of Bipolar I Disorder
Manic Signs
• Extreme joy or excitement
• Feeling jumpy or wired
• Racing thoughts
• Restlessness
• Doing high-risk things (spending a lot of money,
drinking too much, having reckless sex)
• Sleeping little
Depressive Signs
• Extreme sadness
• Worried or empty feeling
• No interest in things you once liked
• No energy, tired
• Can’t think clearly
• Eating more or eating less
• Having thoughts of suicide

Myth or Fact?
Following daily routines can help
you get better.
That’s a fact. Try to eat meals and take your
medications at the same time every day. Also, try to
go to sleep at the same time every night.
The right treatment will help you gain control of
your mood swings and other signs. This is a lifelong
illness, so long-term treatment is needed to keep
your signs under control. Treatment includes:
Medication
Medications are used to control your moods, so
that you do not have such extreme shifts of joy and
sadness. More than 1 may need to be tried before the
best medication (or medications) for you is found.
Medications may cause side effects. You need to work
with your doctor to find the best medications for you.
Do not stop taking your medications unless your
doctor tells you to.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, or “talk” therapy, with a psychologist,
social worker, or counselor can give you support and
guide you, so you can get well. It can help you:
• Understand how to deal with bad thoughts and
control your actions.
• Relate to others better and manage your daily tasks.
• Learn about your illness and how to treat it.
You can learn how to tell when you are showing
signs of the illness, so you can ask for help before
it gets worse.
Ask your doctor about other support programs such
as peer support groups that can help you cope with
your illness.
Remember:
Bipolar disorder is an illness that causes extreme
mood swings. There is no cure, but it can be treated.
You may need to be treated for the rest of your life.
By taking the right medications and getting the
therapy you need, you will have the best chance of
managing your illness.
Translation - Spanish Información sobre el Trastorno Bipolar I
¿Qué es?
El trastorno bipolar I es una enfermedad cerebral que causa cambios extremos en su estado de ánimo y nivel de energía. Es también denominado enfermedad maniaco depresiva. El estado maníaco le hace sentir profunda alegría, ansiedad o excitación. El estado depresivo le hace sentir mucha tristeza.
Puede incluso tener mucha energía y sentirse muy triste al
mismo tiempo. A esto se le llama estado mixto.
Usted puede padecer de trastorno bipolar I si usted presenta una serie de sentimientos maníacos o depresivos durante la mayor parte del día, casi todos los días, por al menos 1 a 2 semanas. Si usted tiene 4 ó más eventos de bipolaridad en 1 año, se denomina ciclo rápido.
Estos cambios en el estado de ánimo y nivel de energía no
son iguales a los altibajos normales que las personas
presentan cada cierto tiempo. Éstos son más graves.
No existe una cura para el trastorno bipolar I. Pero éste
puede ser tratado. Más de 10 millones de personas en
los Estados Unidos tienen trastorno bipolar.
¿Qué Causa el Trastorno Bipolar?
El trastorno bipolar I suele ser hereditario. Puede
desencadenarse por estrés o falta de sueño o puede no haber ninguna situación desencadenante. Si usted presenta trastorno bipolar, las sustancias químicas de su cerebro se encuentran fuera de equilibrio. Esto puede hacer que cambie su estado de ánimo.

enfermedad crónica, por ello se necesita tratamiento a largo plazo para mantener sus signos bajo control. El tratamiento incluye:

medicamentos pueden causar efectos secundarios. Su
médico necesita su colaboración para poder encontrar los
mejores medicamentos para usted. No interrumpa su

I provide language solution services in the following pairs: EN-SP, SP-EN, FR-SP
Languages have always been my passion. While I am a native Spanish speaker born and raised in Peru, having lived 6 years of my childhood in the U.S. has strongly contributed in obtaining English proficiency and sharpening my translating skills. I started my translating career quite young (while still in high school) by assisting an English teacher with her freelance activities. She would strongly encourage me to pursue the Translator profession and continue enhancing my linguistic abilities. And so I did. As a high school student, I participated writing and organizing drama plays, most of which were originally translated from old English texts. My fascination for linguistics brought me to study separately both French and English in a more thorough way.
Also, because it was my all-time goal to become a lawyer, I studied the legal career on a parallel basis and obtained my major in Law. (J.D.)
My experience features a wide variety of jobs (including full time positions and freelance work) for several renowned companies around the world in the following fields: art/education, energy/engineering, food/culinary, IT/technology, legal/patents, marketing/advertising, medical/pharmaceutical, science/biology, social sciences.
On a business relationship with my clients, I am most careful to provide a top quality service, accuracy, and excellent timeliness, that is why my labor has always received the best feedback from them.
It is because I am aware of the client's needs and each job's singularity, that my fees vary depending on whether the job comprises translation, review, transcription, and/or proofreading, and also on the complexity and volume of the job as well as the required deadline.
I also welcome those jobs that require long-term commitment and, for that effect, I am more than eager to negotiate fixed rates.
