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.

Translation - Growing Fears about the Brazilian economy

Crecen los temores sobre la economĂ­a de Brasil


Growing Fears about the Brazilian economy

The country risk rose nine percent to 700 points. The dollar surpassed three real. For the Fund [International Monetary Fund], it is a temporary situation. Lula, questioned by some of his allies, affirmed the direction of his economic policy.

Brazil is experiencing turbulent economic times, a product of international and domestic problems. As a result, its country risk grew by 9 percent this afternoon while the dollar closed at 3.062 real, complicating President Lula da Silva’s financial program.

Cristina Kirchner’s administration is using all its economic levers to sustain internal demand and incidentally stave off a defeat in crucial parliamentary elections in October.


by Rodrigo Lara Serrano


Will it work? Cristina Kirchner wagers the future of her administration.


Exiting difficult situations is rarely easy. Like Sempé, the great French humorist says, when it is easy, everything gets complicated. Argentina faces a challenge in 2009: convince itself first and later the world that it is not a particularly catastrophic situation...
