- I got a question When you try to translate a document, how doy you now where "you" means "tú" or "you" means "usted". In this case, I'm trying to translate a chapter from a book, and at the end of the chapter there is a task. Would be good to translate it as "you" in a more personal way or "you" in a former way. Whay should I consider to make this decision?January 29, 201820
- Dear John Smith, James Brown and Robert Miller Dear John Smith, James Brown and Robert Miller I’m writing to you today as psychology student who is amazed by the quality of your work at “Name of the book: part of the title of the book” and who would like to spread the acquired knowledge from your book. Here in south America, just a few people know [NAME OF THE APPROACH DISCUSSED IN HIS BOOK] approach, because there is almost no Spanish published material. My first contact with this approach was through reading Juan Perez, he writes about [XYZ (ANOTHER SIMILAR APPROACH)] in Spanish, and he was my only one reference until I start reading your book, Now, I know there are variations of the [NAME OF THE GENERAL APPROACH] approach. I must be honest, I wrote a Spanish translation of your book for personal use, but I think it would be wrong no to spread the knowledge, it would benefit for everybody to have a Spanish official translation of your book. Said that I must admit I have no experience related to publishing books. I have talked with a professor and he told me that he can help me with that and also he told me that he invited John Smith to come to Perú this year, which would be good to continue spreading the XYZ model around South America. So I’m writing this as the first small step in order to achieve my preferred future, I don’t know what would be the next step until having an answer. Best regards Alejandro Campos
January 24, 201820 - I can't understand the structure of this questions I can't understand the structure of these questions: ‘When you faced this sort of problem in the past how did you resolve it?’ ‘How would you know that you were doing that again?’ <- this question is killing me! I don't know if it has an equivalent on spanish, it would be: "¿Cómo sabrías que estabas haciendo eso nuevamente?" -> does make no sense "¿Cómo sabrías que has estado haciendo eso nuevamente?" -> better, but still does no make sense. I mean, usually when people do something different they tend to notice it... if somebody has a better translation please let me knowJanuary 24, 2018110
