Source text - Spanish Contexto económico
En el año 2020 la pandemia del COVID-19 impactó negativamente a todas las economías del mundo en mayor o menor grado, en función de la incidencia de la enfermedad en cada país y de las medidas de restricción adoptadas por parte de los diferentes gobiernos.
La economía mundial en 2020 registró una contracción estimada del -4,1%.
El producto interior bruto (PIB) de las economías avanzadas se redujo un -5,1%, con Estados Unidos mostrando una caída estimada del -3,5% y la Eurozona del -7,3%, en tanto que las economías emergentes tampoco se libraron de la desaceleración, con México contrayéndose un estimado de -9,0% y Brasil un -4,7%.
China fue una de las primeras economías en superar, al menos, la primera ola de contagios, y logró crecer un estimado 1,5% en 2020, aunque de cara al 2021 el gran crecimiento esperado (por el efecto base) podría verse afectado por rebrotes de la enfermedad en varias zonas del país.
Las restricciones impuestas en muchos países bajo la forma de confinamientos y medidas de distanciamiento social dañaron inicialmente a la mayor parte de las actividades económicas, y después de la flexibilización de dichas medidas en el tercer trimestre a los sectores con mayor contacto entre personas, como la hostelería, la restauración y los viajes, en diferente grado.
La actividad económica en el cuarto trimestre de 2020 se vio afectada por nuevas restricciones derivadas de la “segunda ola” de contagios en Europa y Estados Unidos, aunque la caída será menor que la registrada en el segundo trimestre, porque en general se ha intentado evitar la interrupción de toda actividad laboral no relacionada con restauración, ocio y turismo.
Para tratar de minimizar daños estructurales en la economía, los gobiernos han puesto en marcha paquetes de apoyo, especialmente para cubrir los despidos temporales y evitar que se volvieran permanentes, y han facilitado líneas de crédito y avales a empresas.
Incluso, en muchos países, el Estado ha entrado en el accionariado de empresas de interés estratégico nacional para garantizar su permanencia en medio de la profunda recesión.
Asimismo, en algunos países hubo bajadas temporales de impuestos y, en otros, esquemas de ayuda con políticas fiscales de gasto.
Como medida para atenuar los efectos de la recesión y estimular la actividad, muchos gobiernos han aprovechado las circunstancias para acelerar o ampliar sus planes de inversión en infraestructuras.
Particularmente en los países más desarrollados se ha querido orientar ese impulso no solo en las infraestructuras de transporte sino también hacia energías limpias, la digitalización o para transformar la movilidad en las ciudades y reducir contaminación.
En un esfuerzo altamente sincronizado a nivel global, los bancos centrales en todo el mundo han respondido con significativas bajadas de tipos de interés de referencia y, en algunos casos, con programas de expansión cuantitativa a través de compras de bonos gubernamentales o de grandes empresas.
El resultado de estas actuaciones de gran calibre se puede observar en el crecimiento de la masa monetaria; en el caso de los Estados Unidos, el M2 (dinero en circulación y depósitos de corto plazo) se elevó un 24,2%, en tanto que en la Eurozona el M3 (M2 más los depósitos bancarios de más largo plazo) un 10,5%.
Se prevé que este crecimiento sea sostenido, tanto por el mantenimiento de los programas de apoyo monetario de los bancos centrales, como por las políticas fiscales que también serán expansivas y se extenderán, como mínimo, a cinco años vista.
Esta notable expansión monetaria está estimulando ya el debate sobre si ciertos factores inflacionarios podrán fortalecerse en los próximos trimestres.
Posiblemente no implicarán un alza significativa de los índices de inflación general, al menos mientras no se recuperen los empleos y los salarios, pero sí producirían cierta inflación de activos, parte de la cual ya se está observando.
En cuanto al sector bancario, se prepara para los momentos difíciles que vienen, como se observa por el fuerte empuje hacia fusiones que tienen como objetivo la reducción de costes.
Es de esperar que cuando terminen las ayudas a los despidos temporales, o con el motivo del alargamiento de las restricciones en la hostelería, se observe un repunte en los niveles de paro y en consecuencia de la morosidad.
Translation - English Economic context
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted all economies in the world to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the incidence of the disease in each country and the restriction measures taken by different governments.
The world economy in 2020 registered an estimated contraction of -4.1 percent.
The gross domestic product (GDP) of advanced economies fell by -5.1 percent, with the US showing an estimated decline of -3.5 percent and the eurozone of -7.3 percent. Emerging economies did not escape the downturn, with Mexico contracting an estimated -9.0 percent and Brazil -4.7 percent.
China was one of the first economies to overcome at least the first wave of infections and managed to grow by an estimated 1.5 percent in 2020, although by 2021 the high growth expected (due to the base effect) could be affected by outbreaks of the disease in several parts of the country.
Restrictions imposed in many countries in the form of lockdowns and social distancing measures initially damaged most economic activities and, after the relaxation of such measures in the third quarter, sectors with greater contact between people, such as hospitality, catering and travel, to varying degrees.
Economic activity in the fourth quarter of 2020 was affected by new restrictions resulting from the "second wave" of infections in Europe and the United States. The decline will however be lower than in the second quarter, as attempts have generally been made to prevent interruption to all work activities not related to catering, leisure and tourism.
In order to try and minimize structural damage to the economy, governments have launched support packages, especially to cover temporary redundancies and prevent them from becoming permanent, and have provided credit lines and guarantees to companies.
In many countries, the government has even signed on as a shareholder of companies of national strategic interest to ensure their continued existence in the midst of the deep recession.
There were also temporary tax cuts in some countries and, in others, aid schemes with fiscal spending policies.
As a measure to mitigate the effects of the recession and stimulate activity, many governments have taken advantage of the circumstances to accelerate or expand their infrastructure investment plans.
Particularly in the more developed countries, this momentum has been directed not only at transport infrastructures but also toward clean energy, digitization or to transform mobility in cities and reduce pollution.
In a highly synchronized global effort, central banks around the world have responded with significant declines in benchmark interest rates and, in some cases, with quantitative easing programs through government or large company bond purchases.
The result of these large-scale actions can be seen in the growth of the money supply; in the case of the United States, M2 (money in circulation and short-term deposits) rose by 24.2 percent (YoY), while M3 (M2 plus longer-term bank deposits) rose by 10.5 percent in the eurozone.
This growth is expected to be sustained, both by the continuation of central bank monetary support programs and by fiscal policies that will also be expansionary and will be extended to at least the next five years.
This remarkable monetary expansion is already stimulating the debate on whether certain inflationary factors may be strengthened in the coming quarters.
They may not imply a significant rise in overall inflation rates, at least as long as jobs and salaries do not recover, but they would produce some asset inflation, part of which is already being seen.
In terms of the banking sector, it is preparing for the difficult moments that lie ahead, as can be seen by the strong push toward mergers aimed at reducing costs.
When aid for temporary redundancies ends, or with the extension of restrictions in hospitality, there is likely to be a rebound in unemployment levels and, consequently, delinquency.

Los granjeros eliminaran la necesidad de las inspecciones periódicas de silos y dispondrán de información detallada del consumo diario de pienso en su explotación. Los fabricantes de pienso podrán optimizar todo el proceso logístico, procesando automáticamente las órdenes electrónicas de reposición de silos, accediendo a los datos de existencias de sus clientes, obteniendo previsiones de demanda futura y utilizando herramientas de optimización tanto para la producción como para las rutas de distribución. Ambos son beneficiarios directos de la solución ya que el control continuo y preciso de las existencias de pienso tiene un impacto importante en sus procesos de negocio.
Translation - English XXXX's target market comprises modern and industrialised livestock farms on a global scale, in addition to feed distribution companies that supply them. Farmers will eliminate the need for periodic silo inspections and will again detailed information on the daily feed consumption in their farms. Feed manufacturers will be able to optimise the entire logistics process, by automatically processing electronic replenishment orders for silos, accessing their clients stock details, obtaining future demand forecasts and using optimisation tools both for production and for distribution routes. Both are direct beneficiaries of the solution since the continuous and accurate stock monitoring of feed has a significant impact on its business processes.

Source text - French La crise en Ukraine, la guerre meurtrière en Syrie et l'impasse au Moyen Orient ne détourneront pas la principale puissance mondiale de ses priorités. Le basculement vers l'Asie du centre de gravité de la planète est si rapide et si inéluctable que les péripéties de plus en plus alarmantes qui agitent le vieux monde sont bien secondaires au regard de l'avenir qui se joue beaucoup plus à l'est.
La tournée de quatre jours en Asie que Barack Obama vient d'entamer au Japon est, pour nous Européens, une leçon d'humilité. Elle démontre que l'Amérique, la seule puissance globale, a de la suite dans les idées. Le report de ce voyage en octobre dernier, pour cause d'impasse budgétaire au Congrès, avait soulevé des doutes. Il n'a pas remis en cause le « pivot » de la diplomatie américaine vers le Pacifique, pas davantage que les récents développements en Ukraine.
La Russie a beau piétiner en Crimée les règles du jeu international, ramener notre continent à l'époque où l'on changeait le tracé des frontières par la force, nous ne sommes plus le centre du monde. Après le fiasco du traité d'association proposé à Viktor Yanoukovich, la diplomatie européenne est devenue si insignifiante que le sort de l'Ukraine se joue désormais directement entre Moscou et Washington. Quant aux Etats-Unis, s'ils doivent rassurer leurs alliés de l'Otan, ils n'iront pas jusqu'à revenir sur le « pivot » vers l'Asie pour le réorienter vers l'Europe, comme le leur a demandé le ministre polonais de la Défense.
Translation - English The crisis in Ukraine, the deadly war in Syria and the deadlock in the Middle East will not distract the leading world power from its priorities. The swaying of Asia towards the center of gravity of the planet is so quick and so inevitable that the increasingly more alarming twists and turns that agitate the old world are rather insignificant with regard to the future that lies further to the east.
The four-day tour in Asia that Barack Obama has just begun in Japan is, for us Europeans, a lesson in humility. It demonstrates that America, the single global power, is thinking logically. The announcement of this trip last October, given the budgetary dead end in Congress, had raised some questions. It did not question the "pivot" of American diplomacy to the Pacific – not more than the recent developments in Ukraine in any case.
Russia tried in vain in Crimea to eradicate the rules of the international game, taking our continent back to times when we changed the outline of country borders by force - we are no longer the center of the world. After the fiasco of the Association Treaty proposed by Viktor Yanoukovich, European diplomacy has become so significant that, from now on, the fate of Ukraine will be in the hands of Moscow and Washington. As for the United States, if they must reassure their NATO allies, will they not go as far as to "re-pivot" to Asia in order to redirect it towards Europe, asked the Polish Minister for Defense.

Bio
I am a freelance Spanish, Catalan and French to English (UK/US/CA/AU) translator and localisation specialist, with a focus on legal translation, financial translation, corporate translation and digital content localisation. I have 11+ years' experience and my work includes translation, localisation, editing, proofreading and linguistic quality assurance (QA), with particular experience in UX/UI localisation and technology localisation.
Since 2022, I have worked extensively in localisation for major technology companies such as Amazon, Google, PayPal and Apple, supporting the adaptation of digital products, user interfaces, UX content and software localisation for global audiences. This has reinforced a strong focus on clarity, tone accuracy and user-centred English across multiple English variants.
I have been working full-time as a freelance linguist since 2015, following an MSc in Interpreting and Translating from Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh). Earlier academic training includes a BA in International Business and Modern Languages from the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow), including a year of study at the University of Murcia in Spain.
Typical projects include corporate communications, product and feature announcements, in-app content, UX/UI strings, microcopy, help centre and support content, knowledge base articles, user guides, FAQs, terms and conditions, privacy policies, commercial and employment contracts, articles of association, annual reports, audit reports, sustainability reporting, press releases, marketing localisation, email campaigns, CRM and lifecycle messaging, e-commerce content, technical documentation and official certificates.
Alongside translation work, I provide private English tuition focused on fluency and real-world communication.
Outside professional activity, I am a pianist and music teacher with extensive experience performing in bands and orchestras. I also maintain an active interest in languages including Swedish and Mandarin Chinese.
