Spanish to English: Come Lay It, Will You! General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - Spanish Guatemala debería ser más precisa y no andar diciendo que uno de sus hijos más brillantes acaba de cumplir 40 años de muerto y que nadie estuvo a la altura de semejante esquela. Miguel Ángel murió el mismo día que nació, por haber tenido la temeridad de nacer en un sitio como éste, enemigo total del espíritu, de los libros, de sus autores, de
sus editores y de sus cada
vez más escasos lectores.
Translation - English Guatemala should be more precise and not go around saying that one of its most brilliant children has just turned 40 years dead, and that nobody was up to such an obituary. Miguel Ángel died the same day he was born, for having the temerity to be born in a place like this: a total enemy of the spirit, of books, of their authors, of their publishers, and of their increasingly scarce readership.

English to Spanish: Las variedades lingüísticas y su finalidad retórica General field: Science Detailed field: Linguistics
Source text - English Linguistic varieties and their rhetoric purpose
Translators have been facing the problem that a target language may not have adequate
resources to provide for an equivalent target text, e.g. when the source language reflects the
close relationship between the speaker/medium/context in which it is used. The literary use of
a dialect raises important questions to the study of translation, not only because it is specific
of the source language system, but also because it is always embedded in the source text with
a pragmatic and semiotic significance. The creative use of linguistic varieties in literary dialog
contributes to inform the reader about who is speaking and under which circumstances he/she
is speaking, showing itself as a textual resource which defines the sociocultural outline of the
character in addition to his/her position in the sociocultural fictional context.
Translation - Spanish Las variedades lingüísticas y su finalidad retórica
Los traductores se han enfrentado al problema de que el idioma meta pueda no tener los recursos adecuados para ofrecer una equivalencia en el texto meta, p. ej. cuando en la lengua de origen se refleja la estrecha relación entre el emisor – canal – contexto en el que se utiliza. El uso literario de un dialecto plantea cuestiones para el estudio de la traducción, no solo porque es específico en el sistema lingüístico de la lengua de origen, sino también porque siempre es incorporado en el texto fuente con un significado semiótico y pragmático. El uso creativo de las variedades lingüísticas en el dialogo literario contribuye a informar al lector sobre quién habla y en qué circunstancia lo hace, mostrándose como un recurso textual que define el panorama sociocultural del personaje además de su posición en el contexto sociocultural ficticio.
