abrir cuentas de ahorro...sea en beneficio exclusivo o en el de sus trabajadores, depositar y girar en ellos.

As a political slogan. The idea is that the candidate will provide better, higher-quality representation than the incumbent, and that the voters should be asking for more and better service from their representatives. I want the precise verb that will ...

Used in training workshops in Bolivia. They (probably) aren't posters because the word "poster" is used in the Spanish elsewhere to refer to something else. Large-format flash cards?

Appears in parallel with "ayudas visuales", talking about things that are used in training workshops. "Ayudas populares" include: pizarras, papelografos, and cartillas.

When you feed a horse using a small bale of hay (as opposed to the giant ones that look like spirals and have to be lifted using mechanical equipment), when you cut the baling twine, the bale falls apart into little "slices" about five inches thick. Each ...

In an unidentified "anexo" to an unprovided agreement. Related to an international public tender in Mexico. Is this just "preference margin"?

In a tortilla chip factory. This is where chips are weighed, and the weights on the left and right side of the "banda comal" must be equal. (This is *before* frying, BTW, so it probably isn't anything to do with "griddle"...??) The masa has been rolled ...

In a tortilla chip factory, under the heading "Empaque de producto". No other context is available. The statement is simply a direction to check that one of these is available. Thanks!

A reagent used in immunology tests in the lab.

I opted for this translation given the careful consideration of cultural issues. Nothing wrong with the other option, but I think the extra idea of inclusion of the voters will complement the candidate's image nicely.

Another idea. This is simply a way of introducing the related topic of the program. It's a transition phrase, nothing more. The second sentence of that paragraph is really saying nothing more than "Because Christmas is about warm feelings, caring ...

This is more inclusive (not limiting the plants to those from outside an area) if that is important to the translation here. The USDA uses "noxious or invasive weeds".

The Chinese phrase is not really appropriate -- at least in my experience pure 在職進修 is usually going to be advanced classes or skills related to the job. This person has done a complete MA and Ph.D. from a major university while still keeping his or her ...

"The common feature of the faith that escapes suffering and the faith that endures suffering is this: both of them involve believing that God himself is better than what life can give to you now, and better than what death can take from you later." (This ...

You could also choose not to be a slave to the English wording, and just say "en". The English sentence could just as well read "...red glass art in cutout arches". (Those of us with poor language skills have to find the simplest way out, I'm afraid. ...

There is a physical device called a counter block with an input and output port on it, used to control other devices. There is also a counter block used in data transmissions. One sees references to it being a certain number of bits or octets in ...

This might cover the idea of everything related to the school and how those who attend it or work there interact -- a parallel to business culture.

TO ALL: I am no longer going to moderate the infantile exchanges that commonly go on in this combination. Go ahead, kill each other verbally. Have fun, if this is the only way you know how to do so, as would seem to be the case for some of you. You may ...

Only if the cognate is not the preferred usage in the target language...cognates are not always the right answer.

Jane, I think you're looking for "interchange". Like those big twisted-noodle spaghettic shaped on and off ramps to highways. "Intersections" are usually on the flat, right?

Actually, "bunched flowers" is used in the floral sales sector, to express the idea of multiple flowers sold together in a group. They are not a bouquet -- the bunch usually does not include "filler" flowers such as baby's breath or greens. Loose flowers ...

The question is how to say "plaga vegetal". Any translator worth her salt is going to then translate "plaga animal" in the right way -- separately, as English requires. Or else just go non-technical and say "plant and animal nuisances."

To me, "on-the-job" means that the training is separate short courses related directly to a person's duties, and usually provided at the company.

Rosa, It's not particularly emphatic in English. I have no problem with folks saying "por eso" is not colorful or warm enough -- that's valid. But don't read more into the original English wording than is there! (And see below, you don't support "poner ...

You're welcome to your opinion, Sandra, but "enters the picture" is not particularly emphatic in English. If a more colorful statement is wanted that's one thing, but I don't see where the whole idea of the phrase "enters the picture" is one of emphasis.

Only problem is, the original doesn't necessarily entail a species coming in from outside, as I read it, only an undesired one in a particular area. The undesired plant could very well be a native of the area as well.

Thanks for the clarification! Of course we mighty linguists are the only ones who bother to really use words right these days... ;-)
