SAY IT NOW! British Institute

Se recuerda que traducir un texto no es pasar palabras de un idioma a otro. Es interpretar acabadamente en la lengua vernácula lo que otro individuo ha escrito en su propia lengua.
Así, las traducciones que le hacemos llegar pueden contener palabras distintas de las que Ud. ha utilizado sin que esto signifique que su trabajo esté mal.

Se recomienda el uso de un buen diccionario.

Le recordamos que puede Ud. consultarnos las veces que crea conveniente. Se le dará curso a sus dificultades en el día o de un día para otro en patlannoo@sayitnowinstitute.com.

Interpretar.

No olvide que las palabras pueden ser grandes impostoras. Traduzca ideas, no palabras.
