English to Spanish: Mending with Microbes General field: Science Detailed field: Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
Source text - English Microbes are all around us. They live inside of us, on top of us, in our food, and in nearly all the places on earth we can think of. Most microbes are friendly – like almost all of the ones inside of our intestines – but a few are dangerous to our health. Despite needing a microscope to see them, microbes make up about 18% of all the living material in the world. We are only beginning to understand how important microbes are to life on Earth.

Translation - Spanish Los microbios nos rodean. Viven dentro de nosotros, por encima de nosotros, en nuestros alimentos, y en casi todos los lugares de la tierra que podamos pensar. La mayoría de los microbios son beneficiosos - como casi todos los que están en nuestro intestino- pero algunos son peligrosos para nuestra salud. A pesar de necesitar un microscopio para verlos, los microbios componen aproximadamente el 18% de toda la materia viva en el mundo. Sólo estamos empezando a comprender cómo los microbios son importantes para la vida sobre la tierra.

English to Spanish: Crazy Climate and Wacky Weather General field: Science Detailed field: Meteorology
Source text - English People are talking about it all over the globe. In some places, storms are more frequent, in others, temperatures are changing and droughts are longer. So what’s going on with all this wacky weather?
In today’s world, climate change is a popular topic, as it stands to affect the entire globe, including many of the plants and animals that we depend on to live. But what exactly does this crazy climate mean? What is causing it and why should we care? To understand the changes in Earth’s climate, we first need to look at how climate is different from weather.

Translation - Spanish La gente está hablando sobre esto en todo el mundo. En algunos lugares las tormentas son más frecuentes, en otros las temperaturas están cambiando y las sequías duran más. Entonces, ¿qué está pasando con este clima loco?
En el mundo de hoy, el cambio climático es un tema popular, ya que está afectando a la totalidad del planeta, incluyendo muchas de las plantas y animales de los que dependemos para vivir. Pero ¿qué significa exactamente este clima loco? ¿A qué se debe y por qué nos debería importar? Para entender los cambios en el clima de la Tierra debemos, en primer lugar, evaluar la diferencia entre clima (‘climate’) y tiempo meteorológico (‘weather’).

Source text - English DATOS CLÍNICOS: Cervicalgia
EXPLORACIÓN:
En la exploración realizada de Resonancia Magnética de columna cervical, con cortes sagitales y transversales, potenciados en STIR (Short-tau inversion-recovery), T1, T2 y TSE (turbo spin-eco), vemos:
INFORME:
Ligera rectificación en la alineación de cuerpos vertebrales, que presentan una morfología e intensidad de señal normal.
Los arcos posteriores, carillas articulares y agujeros de conjunción, presentan una morfología e intensidad de señal normal.
Los discos intervertebrales, son de una altura, volumen e intensidad de señal normal, no viendo ninguna imagen que nos haga sospechar la existencia de protrusión o hernia discal.
El conducto y cono medular son de morfología e intensidad de señal normal, no viendo imágenes sospechosas de estenosis o masas.
La unión vertebro basilar, es de morfología e intensidad de señal normal.
JUICIO DIAGNÓSTICO:
Ligera rectificación cervical
Translation - Spanish CLINICAL INFORMATION: Cervical pain
EXPLORATION:
In the exploration of the cervical spine by imaging magnetic resonance (IMR), with sagittal and transverse slices, enhanced by STIR (Short-tau Inversion-recovery), T1, T2 and TSE (turbo spin-echo), we see:
REPORT:
Slight rectification of the alignment of vertebral bodies, which have normal morphology and signal intensity.
The posterior arches, articular veneers, and conjunction holes have normal morphology and signal intensity.
The intervertebral discs present normal height, volume and signal intensity, seeing no image that makes us suspect the existence of disc bulging or herniation.
The medullary duct and cone are of normal morphology and signal intensity, not seeing suspicious images of stenosis or masses.
Spinal cord of normal morphology and signal strength.
DIAGNOSTIC JUDGMENT:
Slight cervical rectification

Bio
Personally, I consider myself a translator, but also a scientist.
Part of my professional career has been dedicated to do and to teach science in English and in Spanish. After getting my PhD in Science (Animal Health) in Spain, I relocated in the US to develop my postdoctoral studies at the Florida Atlantic University.
Now, back in Spain, I am a full time translator and interpreter who enjoys finding the meaning in the original language, and the best suitable words to convey it in the target language. My knowledge of the context is my greatest skill.
