English to Dutch: Technical translation on cylinders General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Source text - English Extremely powerful yellow workhorse supplies hydraulic power to tension racing yachts’ rigging
The glamour world of international yachting might not at first glance seem to have much in common with the workday world of mining and energy, manufacturing, construction and heavy vehicle maintenance.
But down inside the hulls of some of the world’s biggest and sleekest racing yachts performance tuned by the Rig Pro operation of New Zealand’s XX company are bright yellow YY cylinders any worksite engineer would recognise. XX is a world leader in the design and construction of carbon fibre spars and components, rigging, and rig servicing. As the industry pioneer, XX built its first carbon spar in 1990.
These compact but extremely powerful YY 700 bar hydraulic cylinders, used to tension rigging on yachts including Americas Cup contenders, are the same rugged cylinders used by industry to hoist huge weights and to press, pull, form, fabricate and maintain plant and equipment ranging from bridges and buildings to trucks, turbines and production machinery.
Translation - Dutch Buitengewoon krachtig geel werkpaard levert hydraulisch vermogen om tuigage van racejachten te spannen
De glamoureuze wereld van de internationale zeilsport heeft op het eerste zicht misschien niet veel gemeen met de dagelijkse praktijk in de mijnbouw en energiesector, de industrie, de bouw en het onderhoud van zware voertuigen.
Maar binnenin de romp van enkele van de grootste en meest gestroomlijnde racejachten, waarvan de prestaties werden afgesteld door de Rig Pro-afdeling van het Nieuw-Zeelandse bedrijf XX, bevinden zich felgele cilinders van YY die elke technicus herkent. XX is wereldleider in het ontwerpen en bouwen van koolstofvezelmasten en onderdelen, tuigage en het onderhouden van tuigage. Als pionier in deze industrie bouwde XX zijn eerste koolstofmast in 1990.
Deze compacte, maar uiterst krachtige YY hydraulische cilinders van 700 bar, die worden gebruikt om de tuigage te spannen van onder andere jachten van de mededingers naar de America´s Cup, zijn dezelfde robuuste cilinders die in de industrie worden gebruikt om enorme gewichten te hijsen en installaties en apparatuur, variërend van bruggen en gebouwen tot trucks, turbines en productiemachines, te persen, uit elkaar te trekken, te vormen en te onderhouden.
English to Dutch: Pregnancy app translation General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Health Care
Source text - English First trimester scans
Usually at some point during your first trimester, your doctor will recommend an ultrasound. Depending on how many weeks pregnant you are at the time of the ultrasound, the scan may be done either abdominally or through a transvaginal scan. An ultrasound can determine how far along you are, which provides you with a more accurate due date than counting from your last period. Your doctor will be able to see if there is more than one little bundle of joy in there.
Bad hair days during pregnancy
Lacklustre locks can also be an equally common pregnancy side effect. Hormonal changes can affect all areas of your body, even your hair. In some cases, those annoying hormones make your hair dry and dull looking.
Embarrassing pregnancy problems
Oh, boy. (Or girl). You had a great breakfast this morning, were feeling good, and then… you farted in the middle of a business meeting. Everyone looked at you, your face turned beet red, and you pointed to your belly as if to say, “It was the baby’s fault.” Truthfully, you weren’t totally off base there.
Itchy nipples are a real thing, and are the result of growing breast issue – but moisturising can help! And if you are having trouble leaking out urine between bathroom visits, you aren’t alone – but you might find relief with Kegels.
TENS machine
TENS stands for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (rolls of the tongue, doesn’t it?). A maternity TENS machine is a hand-held controller attached to a number of sticky pads.
The Apgar score
Your prenatal teacher probably mentioned the Apgar score during your classes. APGAR stands for activity, pulse, grimace, appearance and respiration. These are the things being assessed.
Translation - Dutch Echo’s in het eerste trimester
Tijdens het eerste trimester van je zwangerschap raadt je arts of verloskundige je meestal aan om een echo te laten maken. Afhankelijk van het aantal weken dat je zwanger bent, wordt de echo uitwendig (via je buik) of inwendig (via de vagina) gemaakt. Met een echo wordt vastgesteld hoe ver je bent en kan een nauwkeurigere uitgerekende datum worden bepaald dan wanneer je rekent vanaf de eerste dag van je laatste menstruatie. De verloskundige zal je ook kunnen vertellen of je straks één of meerdere wondertjes mag verwelkomen.
'Bad hair days' tijdens de zwangerschap
Een ander veelvoorkomend zwangerschapskwaaltje zijn doffe lokken. Hormonale veranderingen beïnvloeden alle delen van je lichaam, ook je haar. Soms laten die vervelende hormonen je haar er droog en dof uitzien.
Gênante zwangerschapsproblemen
Jongens toch! (Of meisjes). Je had vanochtend heerlijk ontbeten, je voelde je goed en dan plots... liet je tijdens een belangrijke vergadering een serieuze wind. Iedereen staarde je aan, en met een gezicht zo rood als een tomaat wees jij verontschuldigend naar je buik, alsof je wilde zeggen: "Het ligt niet aan mij maar aan de baby." En eigenlijk is dat ook zo, je hebt het niet zomaar uit je duim gezogen.
Jeukende tepels, je kunt ze niet negeren. De jeuk wordt veroorzaakt door toenemend borstweefsel. Smeren met een hydraterende crème kan verlichting bieden! En als je last hebt van urineverlies tussen toiletbezoekjes door, weet dan dat je niet de enige bent en dat oefeningen voor je bekkenbodemspieren kunnen helpen.
TENS-apparaat
TENS staat voor Transcutane Elektrische Neuro Stimulatie (makkie, toch?). Een GeboorteTENS is een draagbaar apparaat dat met een aantal plakkers is verbonden.
De apgarscore
Je hebt tijdens je zwangerschapscursus vast over de apgarscore gehoord. APGAR staat voor Appearance (kleur), Pulse (hartslag), Grimace (reactie op prikkels), Activity (spierspanning) en Respiration (ademhaling). Dit zijn de vijf punten waarnaar wordt gekeken.

Experience
Years of experience: 13. Registered at ProZ.com: Feb 2015. Became a member: May 2015.
Translator since 2010 5+ years of experience as an inhouse translator/reviewer and project manager at a certified translation agency in the Netherlands Master's degree in Translation for the languages Russian and English into Dutch Previously obtained a Bachelor's degree in Social Work (with HRM specialisation)
It's my interest in other cultures and languages that inspired me to start with translation studies after graduating as a social worker (HRM specialisation). Apart from Russian and English, the languages I studied, I also know some French and Spanish.
After gaining ample experience and knowledge during the 5 years that I worked at a translation agency, I decided to become my own employer so that I could concentrate on translating. I love working on interesting projects in a variety of fields.
My main specialisation is maternal health care and anything releated to pregnancy, breastfeeding and babies, as I have translated an elaborate app and blog posts about pregnancy, as well as a baby app.
Other than that, I have experience with business communication (letters, emails, newsletters, intranet posts, ...), organisational psychology, management and HRM, but also websites, manuals for appliances, stairlifts, hydraulic tools, course manuals, a guide book for family caregivers, terms and conditions, board and card games, and much more.
I work with SDL Trados Studio 2017.
Don't hesitate to contact me for more information or to receive my resume if you are looking for an EN -> NL translator or a Dutch proofreader. A small test translation is possible.
