TASK 1. TRANSLATION
PARAGRAPH 1
The next few decades will see great changes in the way energy is supplied and
used. In some major oil producing nations, 'peak oil' has already been reached, and
there are increasing fears of global warming. Consequently, many countries are
focusing on the switch to a low carbon economy. This transition will lead to major
changes in the supply and use of electricity. Firstly, there will be an increase in
overall demand, as consumers switch from oil and gas to electricity to power their
homes and vehicles. Secondly, there will be an increase in power generation, not
only in terms of how much is generated, but also how it is generated, as there is
growing electricity generation from renewable sources. To meet these challenges,
countries are investing in Smart Grid technology. This system aims to provide the
electricity industry with a better understanding of power generation and demand, and
to use this information to create a more efficient power network.
TRANSLATION INTO SPANISH LANGUAGE
Las próximas décadas verán grandes cambios en la forma en que es suministrada
y utilizada la energía. En algunas de las principales naciones productoras de
petróleo, ya se ha alcanzado el "pico de petróleo" y hay un temor creciente al
calentamiento global. Consecuentemente, muchos países se están centrando en el
cambio hacia una economía baja en carbono. Esta transición dará lugar a cambios
importantes en el suministro y uso de electricidad. En primer lugar, habrá un
aumento en la demanda general, a medida que los consumidores pasen del petróleo
y el gas a la electricidad para alimentar sus hogares y vehículos. En segundo lugar,
habrá un aumento en la generación de energía, no solo en términos de cuánto se
genera, sino también de cómo se genera, ya que existe una creciente generación
de electricidad a partir de fuentes renovables. Para enfrentar estos desafíos, los
países están invirtiendo en tecnología Smart Grid. Este sistema tiene como objetivo
proporcionar a la industria eléctrica una mejor comprensión de la generación y
demanda de energía, y utilizar esta información para crear una red eléctrica más
eficiente.
TASK 2. REFLECTION
The text is very interesting and explains how some changes will be made in the
energy of the planet and the consequences that this can bring, on the other hand, it
was somewhat difficult to translate expressions that are in the past, although in the
context of the Future showing a more complex syntax in its structure and making this

a language objective easier to understand in its native language, such as: (in the
way energy is supplied and used)
In addition, we can observe how an expression used in different contexts is used as
a model of language transformation which is another expression that must be
supplanted in its syntactic form in Spanish, since it cannot be described in the same
way as in English. , which is: in some of the major oil producing nations, this
expression caused me confusion because the grammatical form is something
strange: "peak of oil" has already been reached, this expression caused me
confusion because I have always observed (has been) and not (it has already been).
in this it was possible to observe how the legal regimes of a language is covered by
parts in which the original form of many phrases and words must be respected,
opening the field to which it is of law in this language and which must be fulfilled.
TASK 3. CHART
METHOD STRATEGY TECHNIQUE
The way in which the
translator faces the whole
of the original text and
develops the translator
process according to
certain principles. It
supposes the
development of a
determined translator
process and regulated by
some principles in
function of the translator's
objective, the method has
therefore a conscious
supraindividual character
and responds to a global
option that runs through
the entire text.
It is the concrete
application visible in the
result that affects minor
areas of the text; It is
individual and procedural
in nature, consisting of
the mechanisms used by
the translator to solve the
problems encountered
These affect the result of
the translation and are
cataloged in comparison
with the original referring
to textual microunits, they
have a discursive and
contextual character
being functional
Adaptation: it consists of
replacing a reality in one
language with the same
reality in another. It is not
done with the same words
but in a way that is more
understandable to
whoever is reading or
listening to it.
Expansion: the text is
amplified for reasons of
structure or when the
ambiguity of the original
texts must be ended. This
is usually done when
translating from English to
Spanish, since many
English terms lack gender
and in Spanish if it is
necessary to specify
whether it is male or
female.
Reduction: is the reverse
procedure to the interior.

Loan: consists of using
words from the original
text in the translated text
and they are usually
written in italics. Example:
sandwich or blue jeans.
Compensation: usually
used by translators in the
case of not finding an
appropriate
correspondence. Both
expansion and reduction
are used, as appropriate
at each moment.
Calco: words are created
following the structure of
the language of origin, as
for example "basketball"
was created "basketball".
Modulation: it consists of
varying the form thanks to
a semantic change,
making the new
translation from a new
point of view. For
example, if the actual
translation gives you "it's
not hard to prove", it
would actually translate to
"it's easy to show".
Transposition: the
grammatical category is
changed without
changing the meaning of
the message.
Equivalence: the
meaning of a word
corresponds to both a
language and another,
being equivalent words
that have the same
meaning.

COMMENTS BY YEISON ARIEL FRANCO
Hello
Dear mate Nubia
I think you have been successful in your translation especially when you mention the
superlative form in the translation (they will be able) you mention: they could collect
information in real time.
This part of the translation is the same but with a small change in its grammatical
structure, another important point in the translation well deduced from this paragraph
is the literal taking of the words in the sentence: For example, they could use the
washing mashine at night. Smart meters too
can be connected to the internet or telephone system, allowing the consumer
Turn off or turn on the equipment to Remote Control.

PARAGRAPH 2
Smart Grid technology basically involves the application of a computer system to the
electricity network. The computer system can be used to collect information about
supply and demand and improve engineer's ability to manage the system. With
better information about electricity demand, the network will be able to increase the
amount of electricity delivered per unit generated, leading to potential reductions in
fuel needs and carbon emissions. Moreover, the computer system will assist in
reducing operational and maintenance costs.
La tecnología Smart Grid implica básicamente la aplicación de un sistema
informático a la red eléctrica. El sistema informático se puede utilizar para recopilar
información sobre la oferta y la demanda y mejorar la capacidad del ingeniero para
administrar el sistema. Con una mejor información sobre la demanda de electricidad,
la red podrá aumentar la cantidad de electricidad entregada por unidad generada,
lo que dará lugar a posibles reducciones en las necesidades de combustible y las
emisiones de carbono. Además, el sistema informático ayudará a reducir los costos
operativos y de mantenimiento.
TASK 2. REFLECTION
We know that on doing made ourselves a translation we face to innumerable
disadvantages that can put in risk the original text. The complex process of
translation demands to bear in mind such different aspects as the linguistic one, the
sociocultural one, the semantic one and the textual one, in order to achieve a
translation that is, simultaneously, faithful to the content

and to the ideas that the author expressed in the original text. Nevertheless, I Had
some disadvantages or doubts with the word "Smart" and "Grid" since it did not know
if to translate it or to make her like was. So finally I decided to use the technique of
tradition LENDING, for solving my problem.
TASK 3. CHART
The translator method is the
development of a specific
translator process, regulated
by a principle based on the
translator's objective; The
method has, of course, a
supraindividual and
conscious character
(although sometimes it can be
unconscious) and it is a global
option that runs through the
entire text.
The method of translation is
applied to the totality of the
text for translating.
 Translation word for
word.
 Literal translation.
 Faithful translation.
 Semantic
translation.
 Adjustment.
 Free translation.
 Idiomatic
translation.
Communicative
translation.
It possesses an individual
character since it consists
of the mechanisms used
by the translator to solve
the problems found in the
development of this
process depending on his
specific needs.
The technique of translation
changes inside the same
text according to every case
and depending on the verbal
punctual elements that will
be translated.
1.The lending is a
procedure of translation that
consists of using a word or
an expression of the original
text in the text of destination.
Example: This vedette a
high and slender woman.
2. THE TRACE
When a translator resorts to
the lexical trace, believes or
a neologism uses in the
language of destination by
means of the adoption of the
structure of the language of
origin.
Example: The German word
handball is translated in
Spanish balonmano, or the
term Englishman skyscraper
is translated in Frenchman
gratte-ciel.
3. LITERAL
TRANSLATION Normally is
called a literal translation or
metafrase. It consists of
translating word for word,

achieving a text in the
language of destination so
correct as idiomatic.
Example: I am reading a
book ⇒ Yo estoy leyendo un
libro.
4. TRANSPOSITION The
transposition consists of
happening from a
grammatical category to
other one without altering
the meaning of the text. This
technology introduces a
change in the grammatical
structure.
Ejemplo: He learns
quickly ⇒ Es veloz para
aprender.
5. MODULATION
The modulation resides in
changing the form of the text
by means of a semantic
change or of perspective.
Example: Maybe have
reason?
Your n'as peut-être pas tort.
6. EQUIVALENCE.
The equivalence is a
procedure of translation by
which the same reality is
transmitted by means of a
totally different expression.
Ejemplo: Chat échaudé
craint l’eau froide ⇒ Él que
se quemó con leche ve la
vaca y llora.
7. ADJUSTMENT
The adjustment, also so
called cultural substitution or
cultural equivalent, consists
of replacing a cultural
element of the original text
by other one who adapts

I have read his work. His translation is very good and rigorous, I congratulate it. In
spite of the fact that it had some problems on having realized the translation, as it
explains it in the reflection it could confront and give him a solution, made Good it.
Nevertheless I believe that in this phrase "This transition will lead to major
changes in the supply and uses of electricity" You translated it like: "Esta
transición dará lugar a cambios importantes en el suministro y uso de
electricidad" I think that it remains better "Esta transición conducirá a cambios
importantes en el suministro y el uso de la electricidad"

better to the culture of the
language put.
Ejemplo: baseball ⇒ football

I have read his work, and think that it is a good translation, nevertheless you might
improve her, for example in the phrase " pilot schemes to promote and test it
ploughs already underway " - I think that you would have more coherent if you
write " los planes piloto para promoverla y probarla ya están en marcha" Also
in this phrase: " Consumers ploughs currently testing the new smart meters
" Maybe podrias to translate it hereby : "Los consumidores actualmente están
probando los nuevos medidores inteligentes".

PARAGRAPH 3
Smart Grid technology offers benefits to the consumer too. They will be able to
collect real-time information on their energy use for each appliance. Varying tariffs
throughout the day will give customers the incentive to use appliances at times when
supply greatly exceeds demand, leading to great reductions in bills. For example,
they may use their washing machines at night. Smart meters can also be connected
to the internet or telephone system, allowing customers to switch appliances on or
off remotely. Furthermore, if houses are fitted with the apparatus to generate their
own power, appliances can be set to run directly from the on-site power source, and
any excess can be sold to the grid.
La tecnología de red eléctrica inteligente también ofrece beneficios para el
consumidor. Ellos podrán recolectar información en tiempo real del consumo de
energía de cada electrodoméstico. Varias tarifas durante el día le dará a los
consumidores el incentivo para usar los electrodomésticos en tiempos que el
suministro exceda en gran medida la demanda, llevando así a una considerable
reducción en los recibos. Por ejemplo, ellos podían usar la lavadora por la noche.
Medidores inteligentes también pueden estar conectados al sistema de internet o
teléfono, permitiéndole al consumidor apagar o encender los equipos a Control

remoto. Además, si las casas están equipadas con el aparato que genere su propia
corriente los equipos podrían ser puestos a trabajar directamente desde el sitio de
la fuente de alimentación, y cualquier exceso de energía puede ser vendida a la red.
TASK 2. REFLECTION
The text is very interesting too, because it explains the benefits that offers Smart
Grid Technology to the consumer. The translate was a bit difficult for me, firstly some
sentences doesn´t have the same structure of Spanish or the syntax, sach as: “on
their energy use for each appliance” its metaphrase will be” sobre sus usos de
energía para cada dispositivo” but it really means “ del consumo de energía de cada
electrodoméstico” other example is “at times when supply greatly exceds demand”
that metaphrase will be “en tiempos cundo el suministro exceda extremadamente la
demanda”. But its translate is en tiempos que el suministro exceda en gran medida
la demanda. Other example is “allowing customers to switch appliances on or off
remotely”. This is known as: transposition.
We can identify modeling technique in “leading to great reductions in bills” that
translate “llevando así a una considerable reducción en los recibos. because the
form of the text is changed through a semantic or perspective change. Othor
example is “appliances can be set to run directly from the on-site power source” that
means los equipos podrían ser puestos a trabajar directamente desde el sitio de la
fuente de alimentación.

bear in mind such different aspects as the linguistic one, the sociocultural one,
the semantic one and the textual one, in order to achieve a translation that is,

PARAGRAPH 4
With these changes comes a range of challenges. The first involves managing the
supply and demand. Sources of renewable energy, such as wind, wave and solar,
are notoriously unpredictable, and nuclear power, which is also set to increase as
nations switch to alternative energy sources, is inflexible. With oil and gas, it is
relatively simple to increase the supply of energy to match the increasing demand
during peak times of the day or year. With alternative sources, this is far more
difficult, and may lead to blackouts or system collapse. Potential solutions include
investigating new and efficient ways to store energy and encouraging consumers to

use electricity at off-peak times. A second problem is the fact that many renewable
power generation sources are located in remote areas, such as windy uplands and
coastal regions, where there is currently a lack of electrical infrastructure. New
infrastructures therefore must be built. Thankfully, with improved smart technology,
this can be done more efficiently by reducing the reinforcement or construction costs.
Con estos cambios viene una serie de desafíos. El primero implica gestionar la
oferta y la demanda. Fuentes de energía renovable, tales Como el viento, las olas y
la energía solar, son notoriamente impredecibles y nucleares. El poder, que también
está programado para aumentar a medida que las naciones cambian a fuentes de
energía alternativas, es inflexible. Con petróleo y gas, es relativamente simple
aumentar El suministro de energía para satisfacer la creciente demanda durante las
horas pico del día o del año. Con fuentes alternativas, esto es mucho más difícil, y
puede provocar apagones o colapso del sistema. Las soluciones potenciales
incluyen investigando nuevas y eficientes formas de almacenar energía y
fomentando que los consumidores usen la electricidad en horas de poca actividad.
Un segundo problema es el hecho de que muchas fuentes de generación de energía
renovable se encuentran en áreas remotas, tales como tierras altas ventosas y
regiones costeras, donde hay actualmente una falta de infraestructura eléctrica.
Nuevas infraestructuras por lo tanto deben ser construidas. Afortunadamente, con
la tecnología inteligente mejorada, esto se puede hacer más eficientemente
reduciendo el refuerzo o costos de construcción.

TASK 2. REFLECTION
The reflection that I give on the text is that if it seemed a bit complex in terms of the
translation of the text because even if you know the vocabulary, you must know how
to interpret it so that the wording has a more coherent meaning and when passed to
Spanish it makes a better sense.
I had some difficulties with some phrases like: The first involves managing the supply
and demand. Because you have to take structural grammar into account and not
translate word by word.
If a paraphrase is made "El primero involucra Gestionando la oferta y la
demanda".
But if we interpret it to Spanish, it says: La primera consiste en gestionar la oferta y
la demanda.
Another phrase was: power, which is also set to increase as nations switch to
alternative energy sources, is inflexible, yes we do the paraphrase says in Spanish:
“El poder, que también se prevé que aumente como las naciones cambian a
Fuentes alternativas de energía, es inflexible.”, but if we put interpretation on it,
it says: El poder, que también está programado para aumentar a medida que
las naciones cambian a fuentes de energía alternativas, es inflexible.
We must take into account five basic structures of sentences for example
Subject-verb, Subject-verb-object, Subject-verb-adjective, Subject-verb-adverb and
Subject-verb-noun.

Likewise, the order of adjectives is essential, for example: opinion, size, age, form,
color, origin, material, purpose and substantive example:
The picture shows a middle aged man with gray hair. I have dark skin and very
white teeth.

PARAGRAPH 5
Although Smart Technology is still in its infancy, pilot schemes to promote and test
it are already underway. Consumers are currently testing the new smart meters
which can be used in their homes to manage electricity use. There are also a
number of demonstrations being planned to show how the smart technology could
practically work, and trials are in place to test the new electrical infrastructure. It is
likely that technology will be added in 'layers', starting with 'quick win' methods which
will provide initial carbon savings, to be followed by more advanced systems at a
later date. Cities are prime candidates for investment into smart energy, due to the
high population density and high energy use. It is here where Smart Technology is
likely to be promoted first, utilising a range of sustainable power sources, transport
solutions and an infrastructure for charging electrically powered vehicles. The
infrastructure is already changing fast. By the year 2050, changes in the energy
supply will have transformed our homes, our roads and our behaviour.

TASK 2. REFLECTION
After I have written the translation of the paragraph above (number five) I had some
problems with the unknown words and expressions such as underway, smart
meters, to manage, trials, likely, ‘layers’, ‘quick win’, prime, savings, investment,
sources, utilizing, charging, supply and roads. Taking into account the word “utilizing”
in my opinion is associated with using.
About the above, to achieve the translation of the paragraph five into Spanish
Language I used the following techniques:
First I read the whole paragraph in English language.
Second, I identified the unknown words and expressions, then I underlined them.
Third, I used the online dictionary “WordReferece” in order to know the meaning of
each unknown word and expression into Spanish Language, then I associated them
with the context of the paragraph, since a word in English has a lot of meanings.

Fourth, after the above, I started with the translation of the paragraph into Spanish
Language, and at the same time I was writing and reading in order to get a coherence
in my writing. In this step when I did not know the meaning of the words I used the
Calque technique since I translated word per word from the source language into
the target language (Spanish). Also, I used the literal translations in some
sentences however, I used the compensation technique because I added some
articles in Spanish Language that are not used in English, but in Spanish they are
used. For example, changes in (English) and Los cambios in (Spanish). Finally, in
my translation was used the transposition technique as well. since some parts of
speech changed their sequence/grammatical category when the words were
translated.
Finally, I read whole the translation again and if there were mistakes I made
corrections, however I’m not very sure if these two words (‘layers’ and ‘quick win’)
are translated well.

advice:
When we are writing in English or Spanish language is very important to know
when we should use the capital letter, and the sign of the comma. for example in
this sentence:
"Nevertheless I Had some disadvantages or doubts with the word "Smart" and
"Grid" since it did not know if to translate it or to make her like was."
it's very important to use the comma since if you don't write it the sentence is very
long. Also, the use of capital letter in the expression I Had, it's not correct. For that
reason, I think that your sentence could be like the following:
"Nevertheless, I had some disadvantages or doubts with the word "Smart" and
"Grid" since it did not know if to translate it or to make her like was."
Note 1: According to your question about "Smart and Grid" I want to say you that it
means in spanish language: Red inteligente. I did know about the meaning of Grid,
however I use the online Dictionary Wordreference and I could find that Grid = red
eléctrica.
So, from my view, the expression " Smart Grid technology" = Tecnología de Red
inteligente or Tecnología de Red inteligente.
