English to Spanish: Maintenance Services Detailed field: Real Estate
Source text - English Your property is a valuable asset, whether it is used for personal holidays or rental income, and you need to know it is being properly looked after in your absence.
This is why we insist one of our management team meets with you or your representative at the property and conducts a free, no obligation survey, in order to fully establish the needs of both you and your property. From this we will be able to determine the total amount of hours required to service the property in each of the cleaning and maintenance areas, and to prepare a comprehensive quotation.
Included in the property maintenance service is a weekly inspection of the property in order to ensure that it is secure, that water, gas and electricity supplies are functioning. If necessary we will collect and forward mail if required, and obviously communicate any problems to the owner. When the property is rented by the owner we will visit the client and instruct them on the use of the facilities, deal with any problems they come across etc.
Translation - Spanish Su propiedad puede ser un recurso muy valioso si es utilizada para vacaciones familiares o para obtener ingresos alquilándola, por lo que es importante que esté seguro de que está siendo mantenida en su ausencia.
Por eso, insistimos en que un miembro de nuestro equipo quede con usted o con el representante de su vivienda para realizar una encuesta gratis y sin compromiso, con el fin de averiguar el número total de horas necesarias para dedicar a la vivienda en cuanto a limpieza y mantenimiento, además de prepararle un presupuesto completo.
Se incluye en el servicio de mantenimiento una revisión semanal de la vivienda, para asegurarnos que es segura y que funcionan bien los suministros de agua, gas y luz. En caso necesario, recogemos y reenviamos el correo y contactamos con los propietarios si surge algún problema relevante. Cuando la propiedad esté alquilada, visitamos al inquilino para informarle del uso de las instalaciones y ayudarles con cualquier problema que puedan encontrar.
Spanish to English: Morocco Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - Spanish La mezcla de los ciudadanos e influencias árabes, beréberes, europeas y africanas ha producido un demográfico excepcionalmente cosmopolita que acoge con los brazos abiertos a los recién llegados de todas partes del mundo. Como tal, los marroquís están muy bien conocidos por su actitud amable y acogedor que predomina en todas partes. Aunque sea su primera visita a Marruecos, se sorprenderá de la sensación de regreso y de la cordialidad de esta gente fabulosa.
En Marruecos es imposible no hacer amigos, aunque cuando ocurra, le va a llevar una sorpresa. Una invitación ocasional a cenar, que tiene que ser aceptada cortésmente, puede convertir en una experiencia inolvidable. El hogar de una familia marroquí es su sanctasanctórum; la impresión que tenga del exterior jalbegado desparecerá una vez que entre el hogar de una familia marroquí. Después de ser guido por unas puertas grandes de roble y un patio interior, llegará a la sala de estar principal. Normalmente es una sala grande rebosada de color – tapices elaboradas colgadas en las paredes y sofás hechos a mano muy bajos en el suelo lleno con cojines mullidos y alfombras.
Se presentará un festín de muchos colores y sabores y se considera muy maleducado no comer raciones enormes de más de diez platos de una comida más buena que ha probado nunca. ¡Disfrutará del reto de devolver esta invitación!
Translation - English A rich mixture of Arab, Berber, European and African influences and peoples has lead to a uniquely cosmopolitan demographic which naturally welcomes and nourishes new arrivals from any part of the world. As such, the Moroccan people are renowned for their friendly, welcoming attitude which is strongly prevalent in all areas. Even on a first visit to Morocco, one cannot help but be struck by the sensation of homecoming and the warmth of this fabulous people.
In Morocco it’s impossible not to make friends, although when you do, you’ll be in for a shock. What may seem like a casual invitation for dinner, to be accepted graciously, will often develop into an unforgettable experience. A Moroccan family’s home is their inner sanctum; whatever impression you may have of a simple whitewashed exterior will be totally blown away when you are fortunate enough to enter the home of a Moroccan family. Having been ushered through a large pair of oak doors, into an interior courtyard, you will then be shown into the main living area.
This is usually a large room bursting with colour – ornate tapestries decorating the walls, hand crafted sofas low down on the floor strewn with soft cushions and rugs.
A feast of colour and taste will be laid out in front of you and it will be considered very impolite not to each huge portions of over 10 courses of the finest food you’ve ever tasted. You’ll love the challenge of reciprocating!
