English to Portuguese: Top-rated submission in the Proz's 21st translation contest: "The tides of tech" (EN to PT-BR pair) General field: Tech/Engineering
Source text - English Boom times are back in Silicon Valley. Office parks along Highway 101 are once again adorned with the insignia of hopeful start-ups. Rents are soaring, as is the demand for fancy vacation homes in resort towns like Lake Tahoe, a sign of fortunes being amassed. The Bay Area was the birthplace of the semiconductor industry and the computer and internet companies that have grown up in its wake. Its wizards provided many of the marvels that make the world feel futuristic, from touch-screen phones to the instantaneous searching of great libraries to the power to pilot a drone thousands of miles away. The revival in its business activity since 2010 suggests progress is motoring on.
So it may come as a surprise that some in Silicon Valley think the place is stagnant, and that the rate of innovation has been slackening for decades. Peter Thiel, a founder of PayPal, and the first outside investor in Facebook, says that innovation in America is “somewhere between dire straits and dead”. Engineers in all sorts of areas share similar feelings of disappointment. And a small but growing group of economists reckon the economic impact of the innovations of today may pale in comparison with those of the past.

Across the board, innovations fueled by cheap processing power are taking off. Computers are beginning to understand natural language. People are controlling video games through body movement alone—a technology that may soon find application in much of the business world. Three-dimensional printing is capable of churning out an increasingly complex array of objects, and may soon move on to human tissues and other organic material.
An innovation pessimist could dismiss this as “jam tomorrow”. But the idea that technology-led growth must either continue unabated or steadily decline, rather than ebbing and flowing, is at odds with history. Chad Syverson of the University of Chicago points out that productivity growth during the age of electrification was lumpy. Growth was slow during a period of important electrical innovations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; then it surged.
Translation - Portuguese Uma nova Era de Ouro surge no Vale do Silício. Mais uma vez, os parques empresariais ao longo da Highway 101 estão carregados com os emblemas de startups cheias de expectativas. Os aluguéis sobem, assim como a demanda por casas requintadas em cidades turísticas, como Lake Tahoe; sinais de que fortunas estão sendo criadas. A área da baía de São Francisco foi o berço da indústria de semicondutores e das empresas de informática e internet que se desenvolveram com o surgimento dela. Seus gênios foram responsáveis por muitas das maravilhas que fizeram o mundo parecer futurístico; de celulares com telas sensíveis ao toque às bibliotecas de pesquisa instantânea e, até mesmo, à capacidade de pilotar um drone a quilômetros de distância. Desde 2010, o reaquecimento desse mercado tem apontado um progresso a pleno vapor.
Logo, é natural se surpreender ao saber que muitos no Vale do Silício acham que a região está estagnada, sofrendo com uma diminuição na sua taxa de inovação. Peter Thiel, um dos fundadores do PayPal e o primeiro investidor externo do Facebook, disse que a inovação na América está "em algum lugar entre a decadência e a extinção." Engenheiros de todos os setores compartilham sentimentos semelhantes: desilusão. E um grupo pequeno de economistas, que tem vivido uma ascensão, crê que o impacto econômico da inovação nos dias de hoje é ínfimo quando comparado aos do passado.
[ … ]
De forma geral, com o custo de poder de processamento mais baixo, as inovações estão decolando. Computadores rumam à compreensão da linguagem natural. As pessoas controlam videogames somente com o movimento do corpo—uma tecnologia que muito em breve deve encontrar aplicação no mundo dos negócios. Impressões tridimensionais são capazes de produzir uma gama cada vez maior de objetos, podendo eventualmente emular tecidos humanos e outros materiais orgânicos.
Um pessimista da inovação poderia tachar isso de "uma eterna promessa". Mas a ideia de que o crescimento liderado pela tecnologia deve continuar ou inabalável ou em constante declínio, em vez de oscilante, não condiz com a história. Chad Syverson, da Universidade de Chicago, aponta que o crescimento da produtividade durante a época da eletrificação era instável. O crescimento era lento durante um período de inovações elétricas importantes, no final do século 19 e no início do seguinte, e, de repente, explodiu.

PORTUGUESE TRANSLATOR - GAME LOCALIZATION

About me
I'm an English to Brazilian Portuguese translator specialized in game localization. I also carry out some literary translation personal projects, mainly in horror/gothic fiction.
Apart from translation, I've a technologist degree in the manufacturing field, more specifically in Manufacturing Management.
I usually use MemoQ, but I also work with OmegaT, Crowdin and Phrase.
I have been working with game localization for 5 years, and contributed (both as reviewer and translator) with millions of words to field-related projects. You can find some of my contributions in my portfolio!
I also occasionally write about games, so if you need someone that is passionate about gaming, look no further! Yeah, my Steam and Xbox account wouldn't let me lie...
