Translation Tips and Tricks from the Experts

Translation Tips and Tricks from the Experts

Translation Tips and Tricks from the Experts
źródło: Daily Health Study

People often mention that they would like to learn translation. So I thought I would share some of my tips and tricks with you and your colleagues. As the joke goes, translation depends on context. Therefore, none of the things I am about to share is a rule. It's simply what has worked for me and my coworkers.

A word on definitions. Translation is a vast field. For the purposes of this article, however, I will be focusing on the part of translation that I do: I translate written literary prose from Polish into English.

TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI 

Software and hardware

Everybody has their own tools and methods. A classic split screen is my preference: a PDF of the Polish text on one side, and a Word document with English on the other. My electronic dictionary is always open. I also use a web browser to search for information. A two-volume Polish-English dictionary is also available.

Literary translators rarely use translation software. This is because it's more helpful for technical texts. Some people use transcription software to type out their text or listen to the audiobook. It is also very useful to read your own translation aloud - especially when you are translating dialogue.

Vocabulary and idioms

Translating words one at a time into English is only one part of translation. While you want to stay true to the original words, there are many tricky ones that require you to be creative.

Beginning translators make the common mistake of choosing the first or the second definition when looking up words in dictionaries. [...] I enjoy looking up words I already know in order to see if there are subtleties of meaning beyond the obvious first and second denotations. I often do internet searches for colloquial terms that I don’t understand. This allows me to see their usage in everyday contexts.

TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI 

Grammar & syntax

Grammar is something I love to hate. Polish can do things English cannot, but English can do things English cannot. Therefore, I look for ways to make English as useful and effective as possible.

TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI TI

However, English and Polish grammar are quite different. There are no easy conversion rules between them. For example, the Polish perfective or imperfective is used in a very different way to the English perfect or imperfect. It is often helpful to look at the entire sentence from a different perspective. After I have understood all of the information in Polish, I ask myself how I would translate it into English. This helps me to understand the English grammar and prevents me from getting too stuck in the Polish structures.

A few final words of wisdom

Perhaps you are wondering if your ability to translate is something that you might want to improve upon. You might think of translators either as scholars who are eminent and always at the desk, or as jet-setting citizens fluent in many languages.

Translators come from many backgrounds. You don't have to be a native speaker of a language to translate. Many successful translators are not native English speakers, or they work in a language that they have learned or grew up speaking. Monolingual speakers may even be able to pair up with native speakers of the source language and work together as a team.

For women's health, tips for heart, mind, and body - https://www.mpolska24.pl/blog/for-womens-health-tips-for-heart-mind-and-body



If you want to avoid problems such as strokes and heart disease, there is an easy way.


Get more fruits and vegetables.

Whole grains are better than refined ones. Brown rice is better than white. Switch to whole-wheat pasta

Consider lean proteins such as poultry, fish and beans.

Reduce your intake of processed foods, sugar, salt, saturated fat, and other unhealthy food.

Flexibility is key to eating well, according to Joyce Meng, MD assistant professor at UConn Health's Pat and Jim Calhoun Cardiology Center. You can follow a strict diet plan if you prefer. It's okay if you don't like following a strict diet plan.


Tricia Montgomery (52), founder of K9 Fit Club knows firsthand the benefits of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Her favorite things are eating healthy food and making small, frequent meals. She says, "I don’t deny myself anything." "I still enjoy dessert, key lime pie, yum!" -- I love frozen gummy bears and moderation is the key.


Get regular checkups. Your doctor will keep track of your medical history so that you can stay healthy. If you are at high risk of osteoporosis (a condition that weakens bones), your doctor may recommend more vitamin D and calcium.


You may be recommended by your doctor to have screening tests done to monitor your health and detect conditions before they become serious.


Be open to communication. Meng said, "If you have any questions, ask your doctor." "Ensure you are satisfied with the information." Talk to your doctor if you have concerns about any medication or procedure.


Reduce Stress

It can be very detrimental to your health. It is impossible to avoid it all, but there are ways you can reduce the effects. Do not take on too many responsibilities. Set limits for yourself and others. It is okay to say no.


To relieve stress, try:


Deep breathing

Meditation

Yoga

Massage

Exercise

Healthy eating

Talking to a friend or family member.

Develop healthy habits

You can prevent problems from coming your way tomorrow if you make the right decisions today.


Brush your teeth twice daily and floss each day.

Don't smoke.

Limit your alcohol. Limit your alcohol intake to 1 drink per day.

Take your medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Get better sleep. Try to sleep for at least 8 hours. Talk to your doctor if you are having trouble sleeping.

Keep out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Wear your seatbelt.

Meng suggests that you take time each day to invest in your own health.


Montgomery was able to see the benefits. Montgomery says that she has overcome health issues, is happy, and has a positive outlook. She says that her life has been forever transformed.
