Source text - English SAM – the Storage Application Model – gives you a quick and easy way to determine which drives are right for your applications, hardware and infrastructure. Just run your mouse over the topic you want to know more about. At each stop, you'll get a quick summary, and the dials on the screen will provide a graphic view of typical storage demands.
Translation - Spanish SAM (Modelo de aplicación de almacenamiento), ofrece una manera rápida y segura de determinar qué unidades son las adecuadas para sus aplicaciones, hardware e infraestructura. Sólo tiene que colocar el mouse sobre el tema acerca del cual desea saber más. En cada parada verá un resumen rápido y los indicadores en pantalla le darán una visión gráfica de las necesidades comunes de almacenamiento.

Source text - English To transfer data:
1. Select File / Database / Transfer / In…. This displays the Transfer In dialog.
2. Click the radio button for the type of data to be transferred in: XF1 (QA-Lite format), MIF (QA-Master format), or SpectroStart.
3. From the Look in: drop-down list and list box, select your transfer file directory location.
4. Select the transfer file in the Look in: list box, or type the transfer file name in the Filename: field.
5. Click OK.
Color Differences/Tolerances
For the L*a*b* color model, DL*, Da*, and Db* values are mathematically manipulated to create a “box” of acceptable colors around the point in the color model which represents the standard color. This type of color tolerance is numerically acceptable. For the L*C*h° color model, DL*, DC*, and DH* (the calculated hue difference) values are mathematically manipulated to allow a “box” of acceptable colors to be rotated in orientation to the hue angle. This type of color tolerance is also numerically acceptable, but more closely matches human perception than L*a*b* color differences. Unfortunately, visual acceptability (color differences we accept visually) in a color model is more in the shape of an “ellipsoid” (a three dimensional ellipse).
Translation - Spanish Para transferir datos:
1. Seleccione File / Database / Transfer / In …. Con ello se desplegará el diálogo Transferir a.
2. Haga clic en el botón de radio del tipo de datos que va a transferir en: XF1 (formato QA-Lite), MIF (formato QA-Master) o SpectroStart.
3. En la lista desplegable y cuadro de lista Look in:, seleccione la ubicación en el directorio del archivo que va a transferir.
4. Seleccione el archivo que va a transferir en el cuadro de lista Look in: o escriba el nombre del archivo que va a transferir en el campo Filename:.
5. Haga clic en OK.
Tolerancias/diferencias de color
Para el modelo de colores L*a*b*, los valores DL*, Da* y Db* se manipulan en forma matemática para crear un “cuadro” de colores aceptables alrededor del punto en el modelo de colores que representa al color estándar. Este tipo de tolerancia al color es numéricamente aceptable. Para el modelo de colores L*C*h°, los valores DL*, DC* y DH* (la diferencia de tonos calculada) se manipulan en forma matemática para permitir la rotación de un “cuadro” de colores aceptables en orientación con el ángulo del tono. Este tipo de tolerancia al color también es numéricamente aceptable, pero se acerca más a la percepción humana que las diferencias de color de L*a*b*. Desafortunadamente, la aceptabilidad visual (las diferencias de color que aceptamos visualmente) en un modelo de colores se asemeja más a un “elipsoide” (una elipse tridimensional).

English to Spanish: Medical
Source text - English Like all medicines, nitric oxide can have side effects. Your baby’s doctor will examine your baby closely for all side effects.
The most common side effects relate to a very high concentration of nitric oxide reaching your baby’s blood, or side effects associated with formation of nitrogen dioxide:
• If too much nitric oxide reaches your baby’s blood, the capacity of his/her blood to carry oxygen may be reduced. If this happens, your baby’s doctor will immediately reduce the dose of nitric oxide being given, and your baby’s blood will regain its ability to carry oxygen.
• When nitric oxide and oxygen combine, they form a chemical called nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide is associated with airway inflammation and damage, and should be maintained as low as possible.
Furthermore, although both nitric oxide and the presence of nitrogen dioxide at high nitric oxide concentrations may cause tissue damage, the long-term clinical significance is unknown. Therefore, your baby’s doctor will consider this potential risk in balance with the immediate benefits, which the short-term treatment with Xxxx may provide and will carefully monitor the dose of nitric oxide being given.
Translation - Spanish Al igual que con todos los medicamentos, el óxido nítrico puede tener efectos secundarios. El médico vigilará estrechamente al bebé para detectar cualquier efecto secundario.
Los efectos secundarios más frecuentes están relacionados con el hecho de que en la sangre del bebé llegue a haber concentraciones muy elevadas de óxido nítrico; o. Otros efectos secundarios están relacionados con la formación de dióxido de nitrógeno:
• Si llega demasiado óxido nítrico a la sangre del bebé, podría disminuir la capacidad de su sangre para transportar oxígeno. Si esto sucede, el médico del bebé reducirá inmediatamente la dosis de óxido nítrico que le está administrando, y la sangre del bebé recuperará su capacidad de transporte de oxígeno.
• Cuando se combinan el óxido nítrico y el oxígeno, se forma un compuesto químico llamado dióxido de nitrógeno. El dióxido de nitrógeno se asocia con inflamación y daños en las vías respiratorias, y debe mantenerse lo más bajo que sea posible.
Además, aunque tanto el óxido nítrico como la presencia de dióxido de nitrógeno junto con altas concentraciones de óxido nítrico pueden causar daños en los tejidos, se desconoce la importancia clínica de esto a largo plazo. Por ello, el médico del bebé evaluará este posible riesgo teniendo en cuenta los beneficios inmediatos que puede brindar el tratamiento a corto plazo con INOmax, y vigilará estrechamente la dosis de óxido nítrico que se esté administrando.

I am here to share with you 24 years of expertise in the industry: I can do the same as the big companies, but faster and at a lower rate. You'll have one single, accountable individual, instead of an unidentifiable string of middlemen and middlewomen.
In me you'll find someone who is really dedicated to provide a prompt response via email, whether I'm at my home office or on the go, even during weekends.
Also, you'll find in me someone who cares about her mother tongue: SPANISH. I will not use terms that have been stolen from English and then shoehorned into my target language, SPANISH. I will not pay heed to the "voices from the street" if there is an equivalent term that has been approved by the Real Academia de la Lengua. I will thoroughly research every term in your document, and will be able to attest to the correct placement of every comma and of every accent.
I’m certified by the American Translators Association in my language pair (English -> Spanish) and also hold a college degree in Translation.
In addition, you can see in my profile that 33 of my clients have already taken the time to manifest their enthusiasm for the translations that I've provided. I hope that you'll be next!
Recently, I earned a certification in Literary Translation as well, so I'm open to commissions in that field, that will never be assailed by machines.
Please inquire for details, references, and samples of my work.
Additional personal info:
I was born in Valparaiso, a town along the coast of Chile, on the Southwest of South America.
I became a full-time professional translator from English into Spanish in 1990, received a degree in Translation from the Universidad Arturo Prat in 2005, and was certified by the ATA for this pair also in 2005.
I adore CATs of all colors and shapes. My favorite is Trados, but I'm willing to live and work with any and all of those adorable creatures. >^..^<
I believe that a real, thriving culture is no longer to be found in opera houses, museums, or theaters, but is being created in the technological arena and now lives in our computers, phones, scanners, vehicles, and gadgets. Thus, I specialize in IT, Telecommunications, and Medicine, 3 areas that have fascinated me since forever.
Here at ProZ, I hope to build a working relationship with my colleagues and clients that will extend through the years as we help each other expand and prosper in our businesses.
My preferred payment option is via wire transfer/check, but online money transfer systems will also work.
I'll be happy to reply to any and all inquiries. Also, you can request a test translation of your project at no cost. Ask me for a translation quote now!
