In the US, when a police officer stops a person suspected of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, he administers a series of tests at the scene to find out if the person is impaired. The tests consist of walking heel to toe in a straight line, counting backward, touching the index finger to the nose, etc. What would be a good equivalent for this expression? Thanks for any suggestions!

Explanation:
"Los agentes de la Guardia Civil de Tráfico de Madrid y Barcelona empezarán este fin de semana a hacer éstas y otras pruebas del mismo tipo a los conductores. Será el primer ensayo del denominado «cuestionario de influencia alcohólica», cuya finalidad es complementar la prueba de determinación de alcoholemia.

El cuestionario se define como el «instrumento necesario para evaluar correctamente si existen o no signos y síntomas de que el conductor se encuentra bajo los efectos del alcohol en el momento de ser realizada la prueba de alcoholemia».

La primera parte de las pruebas explora la «coordinación y equilibrio» del conductor. Así, además de la prueba del dedo en la nariz se le colocará con los pies juntos, le dejarán así durante unos 15 segundos y luego le pedirán que cierre los ojos. El agente consignará en el cuestionario si le ha resultado difícil o sencillamente imposible realizar la prueba. Por supuesto, esta primera fase incluye el conocido «paseo» en línea recta.

Los agentes examinarán el color de la cara para comprobar si tiene enrojecidos los pómulos, las orejas y la nariz. Tampoco se extrañe si el agente le da conversación. Simplemente intenta averiguar si le cuesta pronunciar las palabras, o habla demasiado, «sin sentido» y «resulta difícil interrumpirle».

Igualmente analizarán su comportamiento. «¿Se muestra arrogante, despreciativo o insolente» o, por el contrario, trata al agente como si fueran «amigos de toda la vida»?

Serán 14 pruebas en total de las que dependerá finalmente, si procede, la sanción a imponer, una vez comprobado que el resultado del test de alcoholemia no tiene en cuenta las características propias de cada persona."

prado / pradera

Romanian to Spanish

Atenţie, că este şi fâneaţă şi în dicţionar îmi dă cam la fel.

"Pajistile montane sunt alcatuite din fanete si pasuni naturale care ocupa suprafete intinse impreuna cu cele peste 900 ha de turbarii si mlastini oligotrofe, numite local tinoave."

pajişte - Loc acoperit cu iarbă (măruntă şi deasă), folosită ca nutreţ sau pentru păşunat; vegetaţie ierboasă care acoperă acest loc. (DEX)

prado - Tierra muy húmeda o de regadío, en la cual se deja crecer o se siembra la hierba para pasto de los ganados. (RAE)

fâneaţă - Teren pe care creşte (în mod natural sau prin cultivare) iarba pentru fân; fânărie, fânaţ. (DEX)

pradera - Lugar del campo llano y con hierba. (RAE)

heno blanco - Planta perenne de la familia de las Gramíneas, que tiene tallos de 50 a 80 cm, hojas planas cubiertas de vello suave, flores en panojas ramosas, y se cultiva en los prados artificiales.

Cum el "heno" (fân) se cultiva in "prados artificiales", deduc ca prado ar fi fâneaţă.

păşune - Loc acoperit cu vegetaţie ierboasă perenă, unde pasc vitele. ♦ P. restr. Vegetaţie ierboasă, iarbă (de pe locul unde pasc vitele). (DEX)

pasto - Hierba que el ganado pace en el mismo terreno donde se cría. / Sitio en que pasta el ganado. U. m. en pl. Galicia tiene buenos pastos.

=> păşune = pasto

Singurul care imi ramane ar fi pradera.

In imagini apare in munti cum ai tu in context.

penalitati de intarziere

delayed payment penalty

Romanian to English

Stiu ce inseamna penalitati de intarziere, dar cuantumul mi se pare cam putin, nu stiu.. so I just wanted to check if I am translating this right:
„Penalităţi de întârziere" reprezintă penalităţi in cuantum de 0,1 %/zi intarziere din chiria lunara datorata de Sublocatar pentru fiecare zi de intarziere a plaţii chiriei de la scadenta acesteia si pana la plata efectiva.
"Late fees” represent the additional charge of 0.1%/per day of the monthly rent for each additional day, from the due date until the payment is made"
Mersi mult de anticipare!!

Explanation:
PENALTY, contr. A clause in an agreement, by which the obligor agrees to pay a certain sum of money, if he shall fail to fulfill the contract contained in another clause of the same agreement.
(http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/penalty)

"Delayed Payment Penalty
A delayed payment penalty of one percent (1.0%) per month will be added monthly to the unpaid portion of any bill of $500 or more in accordance with Section 6.7 of the Rules and Regulations herein."
(http://www.mgcwv.com/Tariff/MGCgs.pdf)

plata sumei asigurate

payment of the insured amount

Romanian to English

Eu prefer intotdeauna amount in loc de "sum". Suna mai firesc in engleza cu referire la cantitati/sume de bani.

"While calculating the insured amount for your home, please remember to add the cost of improvements in and around your home like fences, gates, paths, swimming pools, landscaping etc."
(http://www.cheapinsurancecare.com/home-insurance-premium-cal...

"However, if you wish to increase this "insured amount" the additional premium rate is £23.50 per £10,000 (inc. IP-Tax currently @ 17.5%) up to a maximum of £50,000 additional, ie. producing a total insured amount of £100,000 for an extra £117.50 (inc. IPT) added to the standard premium. "
(https://www.thebmc.co.uk/Pages.aspx?page=55)

"A term of the policy is that he would get 40 times the insured amount if he got killed in an air crash."
(http://www.onlyinsurance.com/Life-Insurance-News/12754212-Ma...

"This cover can be based on an insured amount of as little as 20 per cent of your contract price..."

Pero yo lo estuve traduciendo como "infomres de sostenibilidad", pero no estoy segura como poner reporting organizations.

EL texto dice:

Sustainability reports based on the GRI framework can be used to benchmark organizational performance with respect to laws, norms, codes, performance standards and voluntary initiatives; demonstrate organizational commitment to sustainable development; and compare organizational performance over time.
GRI promotes and develops this standardized approach to reporting to stimulate demand for sustainability information – which will benefit reporting organizations and those who use report information alike.

spatiu

business premises

Romanian to English

Space sau altceva?
Stiu ca in dictionar spatiu = space, dar ma intreb daca exista un termen mai formal, avand in vedere ca e vorba de un contract legal. It refers to the space (commercial building) being leased, ex: "costul lunar pentru spatiile subînchiriate este de $XX."

Explanation:
Nu exista nici o definitie a lui "space" in engleza care sa insemne "local comercial". E o traducere mot-a-mot a cuvantului spatiu in engleza. Eu traiesc in Spania si in spaniola nu e "espacio", ci "local".

In sfarsit, sa vorbim de engleza. Se foloseste premises in sensul de proprietate (pamant si/sau constructii) si mai specific business (sau pe alocuri commercial) premises pentru spatiile comerciale.

"Renting business premises. Finding the right premises for your business is crucial."

(http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/layer?topicId=10...

"Premises are land and buildings together considered as a property." (Wikipedia)

In acest caz le numim business premises pentru ca e vorba de un spatiu comercial (de afaceri).

Pentru mine e mai sigur si mai elegant business premises. M-am uitat dupa "subleased space" si nu imi apare la fel de concret ca in cazurile pe care le-am prezentat eu (pagini din UK). Space e prea "furculision", dupa parerea mea. Eu nu l-as folosi, mai ales ca am o varianta atat de solida.
