Cuando la ignición del cordón se realice con detonador, se situará éste en el sentido en que se quiera transmitir la detonación. Se tendrá siempre en cuenta que la presencia de agua en contacto prolongado con el cordón puede causar problemas de iniciación o transmisión. La conexión de los detonadores a las líneas maestras de cordón detonante o descendentes del mismo en los barrenos no debe realizarse hasta el momento en que todo esté listo para efectuar el disparo.
En la carga de barrenos, antes de ser introducida la carga, el barreno se limpiará adecuadamente para evitar rozamientos, arranques de los cartuchos de explosivo, etc. Si en un barreno fuera detectada la presencia de agua se tomarán las medidas oportunas, utilizándose el explosivo adecuado. Si la temperatura en el interior de los barrenos excediese de 65º C no se cargarán sin tomar precauciones especiales, debidamente aprobadas por la autoridad minera.

When the fuse ignition is to be carried out via a detonator, this will be positioned in the same direction as the transmission of the required detonation. It must always be borne in mind that the presence of water in prolonged contact with the fuse could cause problems of initiation or transmission. The connection of the detonators to the master detonating cord or branches of the same in the shot holes must not be made until the moment when everything is ready for the shot firing to be carried out.
When charging the shot holes, and before the charge is introduced, the shot hole will be adequately cleaned to avoid abrasions, the setting off of the explosive cartridges, etc. If the presence of water is detected in a shot hole the appropriate measures will be taken by using the adequate explosive. If the interior temperature of the shot holes is in excess of 65º C they will not be charged without taking special precautions, duly approved by the mining authority.
Spanish to English: Marketing translation and business objectives General field: Marketing
Source text - Spanish Lo primero que hemos de tener en cuenta al abordar la traducción de los textos publicitarios es que son persuasivos y descriptivos. Son persuasivos porque nos recomiendan una serie de productos determinados y descriptivos porque nos los presentan de tal manera que atraigan nuestra atención. Estos atributos también se manifiestan en el lenguaje que se emplea enla traducción de textos de marketing y publicidad: para persuadirnos los autores se valen de constantes sugerencias en modo imperativo y para describir los productos en cuestión les aplican numerosos adjetivos. Lo que distingue los textos publicitarios de otro tipo de textos que desempeñan una función semejante es, que ofrecen un producto determinado en un mercado competitivo y se dirigen especialmente a los destinatarios potenciales de dicho producto de manera que se adaptan a los receptores.
Translation - English The first thing we have to take into account when dealing with the translation of advertising copy is that it is persuasive and descriptive. It is persuasive because it recommends a number of specific products, and descriptive because it presents them in a way designed to attract our attention. These attributes also emerge through the language used in the translation of marketing and advertising copy; in order to persuade us, the writers employ a series of suggestions expressed as imperatives, and to describe the products in question they use a wide range of adjectives. What makes advertising copy stand out from other text styles which play a similar role is that it presents a specific product within a competitive market, and specifically addresses potential recipients of the product in a way that is adapted to those recipients.

I have been living and working in Spain since 1992, first as an English teacher and then as a business English teacher/trainer and translator.
Given my educational background I usually have no problem with complex technical and scientific texts.
I live in a small village near Guadalajara, Spain with my partner, two daughters, a dog and a lot of cats.
I read literature and the newspapers in my languages daily. I enjoy solving cryptic crosswords, writing, playing the acoustic guitar, woodwork and gardening.
