La gloria del castellano

Buenos Aires Translator and Interpreter

While living as a Buenos Aires Translator and interpreter, Spanish is just as important if not more than using English.

Each day I bridge the linguistic barrier by teaching my students English. In between I have to negotiate Buenos Aires and confront their local version of Spanish, porteño. This is the adjective used to describe the residents of Buenos Aires and so I apply it to their version of Spanish.

Besides teaching English, I translate from Spanish/French/Portuguese to English and do Spanish<>English business interpretation. Spanish and English compete to be the second most spoken language in the world and expertise in both is an advantage here.

The Spanish Advantage

It really pays to learn at least one more language. The obvious choice is Spanish, the next most widely spoken language globally.

From its 7th century roots, the Spanish language spans the world and today remains a socio-economic-politico force.

US-Latin America trade turns on the ability of partners to communicate. A skilled business interpreter plays a pivotal role in breaking down language barriers and promoting a successful business climate one client at a time.

Buenos Aires Business Interpretations

Global Economy

My second business interpretation assignment last week pressed home just how interconnected the global economy is.

An import/export firm in Buenos Aires needed its accountant to answer questions from the accountant of a business associate in the United States.

In a tenuous telephone conference in the noisy office above the sales floor, I proceeded to bridge the understanding between the two parties. The true nature of the misunderstanding regarding accounting figures of course was not apparent until the conference began.

Skilled Consecutive Business Interpretation

A clear explanation of the ground rules at the beginning avoided any frustration during the call. Consecutive interpretation requires each party to understand the interpreter needs to complete the rendering before the other side begins to speak; otherwise, crosstalk results.

As an instructor of accounting and finance vocabulary at a local private university, familiarity with a company's financial data in both Spanish and English was a godsend. Of course, numerous business translations in the past from annual reports to monthly sales figures aided the effort.

My brother and sister interpreters play a vital role in international commerce every working day.

A city in Entre Rios refuses Buenos Aires’ poor

Neighbors fear migrations from towns in Buenos Aires. A history of a crisis full of prejudices

Report by Pablo Calvo, special correspondent

A giant dorado on the side of the road welcomes you to the city of La Paz There are virgin trees along the shoulder of the road, chickens on the sidewalks, and cows tied to trees. The smooth current of the Parana River runs along the camalotes and hides 12 kilogram surubíes.

Life appears to pass by on a post card

Upon arriving in the plaza, an unexpected conflict arises. neighbors in the asphalt streets demand officials to stop the arrival of the poor from Buenos Aires. They speak about a secret plan to “spill” residents from the outskirts of Buenos Aires into the Littoral and met for a month to gather proof to confirm their suspicions.

In the meetings, there are professionals, teachers, nurses, hairdressers, housewives, private school students, drawn by a rumor: that people from Villa 31 of the Retiro, the oldest in the Federal Capital, are possibly landing for these payments.

Official denials do not calm passions : there were complaints on the radio, long list of demands and signs bordering on xenophobia. It is said there have been “strange faces” in the city from “subcultures” which could spark a “clash with local customs” and among the poor exists a possibility of a “contagion.”

LNG Translations in Buenos Aires: Part I

Argentina is LNG (liquid natural gas) rich.

LNG is a liquid form of natural gas (liquefied gas cooled to -256^oF or -161^oC ) used in homes for cooking and heating. Natural gas is also used to generate electricity.

Natural gas is found beneath the earth's surface and can be associated (with crude oil) or non-associated (produced by itself naturally).

A number of operations in the LNG value chain (exploration, production, liquefaction, shipping, and storage) are needed to bring the gas to market.

The growing and changing nature of LNG means that its language brings together terms from the worlds of finance, utilities, trading and many other sectors, as well as from gas and shipping.

A translator skilled in the LNG and petroleum fields as well as business and finance can serve in a support role for both companies in Argentina already engaged in the market and prospective companies from abroad.

Investors and LNG companies involved or planning to enter the Argentine market can rely on Professor Winn to deliver accurate and timely LNG translations in Buenos Aires from Spanish, French, and Portuguese into English.
