Source text - English Defrosting
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket, open the door and remove all the food to a cool place. Defrost using a plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise naturally until the frost melts. Then wipe away the remaining ice and water, after this plug the freezer back into the mains supply.
Note: To avoid damaging the freezing compartment wall, do not use any sharp objects to remove the frost or separate the frozen food.
Cleaning your freezer
Before you start to clean your freezer remove the mains plug from the power supply.
◆ Dusts behind the refrigerator and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
◆ Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent.
◆ The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
Translation - Croatian Odmrzavanje
Izvucite kabel napajanja iz utičnice, otvorite vrata, izvadite sve namirnice i spremite ih na hladno mjesto. Uklonite led plastičnom lopaticom ili ga pustite da se otopi na sobnoj temperaturi. Zatim obrišite preostali led i vodu te nakon toga zamrzivač ponovno spojite na napajanje.
Napomena: Kako ne biste oštetili stjenku odjeljka za zamrzavanje, ne rabite oštre predmete pri uklanjanju leda ili odvajanju zamrznute hrane.
Čišćenje zamrzivača
Prije početka čišćenja zamrzivača odspojite utikač iz električne utičnice.
◆ Prašinu iza uređaja i s poda treba redovito uklanjati kako bi se poboljšao učinak hlađenja i uštedjela energija.
◆ Redovito provjeravajte jesu li brtve vrata čiste. Brtve vrata čistite mekanom krpom navlaženom vodom sa sapunicom ili razrijeđenim deterdžentom.
◆ Redovito čistite unutrašnjost uređaja kako biste izbjegli stvaranje neugodnih mirisa.
English to Croatian: Excerpt from the novel General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Lunch is trout almondine and arugula salad, washed down with a crisp Riesling. The first glass off wine calms my nerves. The second lets me lower my guard. By the third, when Franny asks me about my job, my personal life, my family, I answer honestly—hate it, still single, parents etired to Boca Raton.
“Everything was delicious,” I say when we finish a dessert of lemon tart so tasty I’m tempted to lick the plate.
“I’m so pleased,” Franny says. “The trout came from Lake Midnight, you know.”
The mention of the lake startles me. Franny notices my surprise andd says,, “We can still think fondly of a place where bad things have occurred. At least, I can. And I do.”
It’s understandable that Franny feels this way in spite of everything that happened. It is, after all, her family’s property. Four thousand acres of wilderness at the southern base of the Adirondacks, all preserved by her grandfather after he spent a lifetime deforesting land five times that size.
Translation - Croatian Za ručak je pastrva s bademima sa salatom od rikole, uz što je poslužen svježi rizling. Prva čaša vina smiruje mi živce. Druga mi spušta gard. Do treće, kad me Franny pita o poslu, privatnom životu, obitelji, odgovaram iskreno – mrzim ga, još uvijek sam solo, roditelji su se umirovili u Boca Ratonu.
„Sve je bilo ukusno“, kažem dok dovršavamo kolač od limuna za desert. U iskušenju sam da poližem tanjur.
„Baš mi je drago“, odgovori Franny. „Znaš, pastrva je iz jezera Midnight.“
Lecnem se na spomen jezera. Franny to primijeti i kaže, “Još uvijek možemo imati lijepa sjećanja na mjesto gdje su se dogodile ružne stvari. Barem ja mogu. Pa tako i pamtim.“
Razumljivo je da se Franny osjeća tako usprkos svemu što se dogodilo. Naposljetku, to je njezin obiteljski posjed. Četiri tisuće jutara divljine u južnom podnožju planinskog lanca Adirondack, a sve je sačuvao njezin djed nakon što je proveo život krčeći pet puta veću površinu.

Translation - Croatian Pozdravite svoj savršeni televizor
Vjerna Philipsova slika samo je početak. Bogate, prirodne boje. Nevjerojatna dubina, kontrast i detalji.
Onda je tu i zvuk. Čist i prostran. Dubok i bogat.

I onda ste tu vi.

Zašto bi televizor bio išta drugačiji?
Vaš savršeni televizor vas čeka. Pozdravite ga.
English to Croatian: Excerpt from the essay "Forensic Finance, or Blood into Algorithms" General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Source text - English The second issue regarding algorithmic reading relates to the manner that many algorithms are created. Many algorithms, especially those involved in machine learning (i.e. artificial intelligence), are not programmed directly, and this leads to their opacity. In brief, an initial algorithm is created, which can only be a few lines long and is fully understandable. This algorithm is then applied to a set of data so that the "machine itself" (with various levels of guidance, nor none at all) learns, say, to pick out cat pictures from a randomized set of images. To do this the algorithm creates better and better models of what a cat picture should look like. Then it can apply this model to a new set of data (and try to find the cats in those pictures). The original, human-programmed algorithm could be transparent and open-source, but the models the algorithm creates are "often so complex and opaque that even their designers cannot anticipate how they will behave in many situations"
Translation - Croatian Drugi problem u vezi s iščitavanjem algoritama odnosi se na način njihova stvaranja. Brojni algoritmi, pogotovo oni uključeni u strojno učenje (odnosno, umjetnu inteligenciju) nisu izravno programirani, što utječe na njihovu transparentnost. Ukratko, početni algoritam može sadržavati svega nekoliko redaka i biti posve razumljiv. Taj se algoritam potom primjenjuje na set podataka, tako da "sâm stroj" (s različitim razinama nadzora ili pak posve slobodno) uči, recimo, kako iz nasumičnog slijeda slika odabrati one na kojima su mačke. Kako bi se to postiglo, algoritam razvija sve bolje modele temeljem kojih se određuje kako bi mačka trebala izgledati. Zatim taj model može primijeniti na novi set podataka (i pokušati na tim slikama pronaći mačke). Izvorni algoritmi koje je programirao čovjek mogu biti transparentni i otvorena koda, ali modeli koje algoritam stvara "često su tako složeni i nejasni da čak ni njihovi tvorci ne mogu predvidjeti njihovo ponašanje u brojnim situacijama".
Croatian to English: Excerpt from the report about state funded advertising General field: Other Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - Croatian U vremenima kada se tradicionalni mediji suočavaju s ozbiljnim problemima u poslovanju uzrokovanima ne samo posljednjom ekonomskom krizom već i novim tehnologijama koje mijenjaju način konzumacije medijskog sadržaja, svaka je podrška produkciji sadržaja po uzusima novinarskog etičkog kodeksa potrebna i dobro došla. Tim je važnije da ulaganje javnih sredstava u medije bude transparentno, uvjetovano jasnim kriterijima i učinkovitim mjerama.
Nedostatak jasnih pravila i nadzor nad njihovom provedbom dovodi u suprotnom do opasnosti da državno oglašavanje postane moćnim alatom za favoriziranje pojedinih medija pri dodjeli javnih sredstava, što pogoduje cenzuri u redakcijama i stvara nekritički nastrojene medije spremne raditi u interesu ‘naručitelja’. Državno oglašavanje u odabranim medijima može ograničiti političku odgovornost i pomoći uspon autokracije, ovaj fenomen do sada je istraživan u susjednoj Mađarskoj.
Translation - English Currently, when traditional media are facing serious business problems caused not only by the last economic crisis but also by new technologies that are changing the way media content is consumed, any support for content production based on the journalistic code of ethics is necessary and welcomed. For this reason, transparency of investment of public funds in media is even more important. Clear criteria and effective measures must be the conditions on which transparency is based.
Otherwise, the lack of clear rules and oversight of their implementation poses a risk that state advertising could become a powerful tool for favoring certain media when allocating public funds, which favors censorship in newsrooms and creates uncritical media willing to work in the interests of their "clients". State advertising in selected media outlets can limit political responsibility and stimulate the rise of autocracies, a phenomenon that has hitherto been explored in the neighboring country of Hungary.
