This article explains how a translator will ensure they are doing their best work, and there are three things every translator must be aware of before they begin their work. The words that are translated for the client must best approximate what is said, and the service must be created to ensure the client hears what is most important in each conversation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_17 counter-hierarchy counter-decimal ez-toc-grey\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"display: none;\"><i class=\"ez-toc-glyphicon ez-toc-icon-toggle\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1\"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/thespanishgroup.net\/blog\/3-common-challenges-translator-faces-translating-english-spanish\/#1_The_Words_And_Phrases\" title=\"1.

The Words And Phrases<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are many colloquial words and phrases that simply do not translate as they should from one language to another. The translator must do quite a lot of work to ensure they understand the nature of each thing said, and they will provide the client with the closest thing to that phrase when speaking. They are tasked with shortening many things that are said, and they must gloss over colloquialisms that are often used.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_There_Are_Many_Long_Words\"><\/span><b>2. There Are Many Long Words<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The long words that are used in many different conversations must be broken down to ensure they make sense when translated, and the translator will find it simpler to offer services when they have an understanding of how to shorten the words that simply make the talks too complex. A translator must have a command of both languages in a way that they may make snap decisions while translating, and they will provide a better approximation of what has been said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_Speed_Of_The_Language\"><\/span><b>3. The Speed Of The Language<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spanish moves much faster than English, and the speaker who is listening to Spanish must be prepared for a slower version of what was said. There are many people who simply need to have each part of a conversation slowed down for them, and the translator will help control the pace of the conversation while they are translating. Translators who choose the translate at the wrong speed will confuse their clients, and they must move with the pace of those who are speaking. Doing anything less will confuse both sides in a conversation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Study_Both_Languages\"><\/span><b>4. Study Both Languages<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Translators must ensure that they are studying both languages constantly. There is something to be learned every day, and the translator will have quite a lot of fun as they read about the war of translated. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thespanishgroup.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spanish translation services<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are quite difficult to learn without the aid of study, and the study of the language ensures the translation is much smoother for everyone involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are quite a few people who need translation services, and they may hire someone who will help them hear their overseas clients in their native language. They will speak the closest thing to what they have heard to their client, and they will offer the services in a two-way conversation that shares information much faster than a translating program. A live person offers a better service that is more personable than a computer program online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Spanish translators are faced with a number of challenges every day, and they are often unaware of how difficult it is to translate every word and phrase properly.
