Source text - Spanish Se trata de una disciplina reciente en el mundo de la acrobacia. Si bien no se sabe con certeza cómo y cuándo surge, hay acuerdos que la ubican como una extensión del trabajo acrobático realizado sobre cuerdas. Por un lado, la tela se desprende de la tradición de la cuerda proveniente de India; por otro, se toman elementos de las evoluciones realizadas por los artistas sobre las cuerdas de los trapecios. El impulso en el desarrollo específico de esta técnica se ubica en Francia, a partir de los años 80.
Se utiliza una tela de tejido sintético (generalmente acetato deportivo o jersey deportivo) que se cuelga a una altura mayor a cuatro metros. Trepado sobre la tela el acróbata realiza distintas figuras a partir de ciertas «llaves» que brindan un sostén preciso y seguro desde distintas zonas del cuerpo. La tela se puede instalar de diferentes formas teniendo en cuenta los mecanismos de seguridad y la estructura que la sujetará. Es importante el conocimiento básico de algunos nudos para que la instalación sea segura y no dañe el material.
Translation - English This is a new field in the world of aerial arts. Although it is not exactly known how and when this discipline first emerged, people agree that it is part of a field of acrobatics performed using ropes. On one hand, silks derived from the Indian acrobatic practice of using ropes; on the other hand, it borrows elements from the changes brought about by aerial artists using the cords of the trapeze. The desire to develop this specific technique had its origins in France, starting in the 80s.
The silk is made of synthetic fabric (generally sports acetate or jersey acetate) and hangs at a height of at least 13 feet. Climbing the fabric, the acrobat makes various poses starting with certain “basic skills” that provide support and safety for different parts of the body. The silk can be hung different ways taking into account the structural and safety mechanisms that will support it. Knowledge of basic knots is important so the configuration is secure and doesn’t damage the fabric.
Spanish to English: Recolección y composición de látex recién extraído
Source text - Spanish El caucho se obtiene del árbol por medio de un tratamiento sistemático de "sangrado", que consiste en hacer un corte en forma de ángulo a través de la corteza profundizando hasta el cambium. Una pequeña vasija cuelga en el tronco del árbol para recoger el látex, jugo lechoso que fluye lentamente de la herida del árbol. El látex contiene 30 a 36% del hidrocarburo del caucho, 0.30-0.7% de cenizas, 1-2% de proteínas, 2% de resina y 0.5 de quebrachitol. La composición del látex varía en las distintas partes del árbol; generalmente el porcentaje de caucho (hidrocarburo) decrece del tronco a las ramas y hojas. La época del año afecta a la composición del látex, así como el tipo de suelo y la línea o casta del árbol. El caucho es una secreción irreversible o producto de desecho del árbol, y cuanto más se extrae, tanto más la planta regenera. El caucho es producido en el protoplasma por reacciones bioquímicas de polimerización catalizadas por enzimas.
Translation - English Rubber is extracted from a tree through a systematic process known as “tapping” that consists of making an angular cut across the bark of the tree to the cambium. A small pot is hung from the trunk of the tree to collect the latex, a milky fluid that flows slowly from the cut in the tree. Latex contains 30 to 36% rubber hydrocarbon, 0.30 to 0.7% ash, 1-2% proteins, 2% resin, and 0.5 quebrachitol. The make up of the latex varies in each part of the tree; generally the percentage of rubber hydrocarbon decreases from the leaves and branches down to the trunk. The time of year also affects the composition of the latex, as well as the make up of the forest floor, tree line, and species of tree. Rubber is an irreversible secretion of the tree and the more that is secreted the more the tree produces. Rubber is produced in the protoplasm by biochemical reactions of polymerization, caused by enzymes acting as catalysts.

Source text - Spanish Mi queridísima Ani:
No es mucho lo que tengo que decirte, al leer las cartas te darás cuenta de todo y me evito el repetirlos.
No sé si has recibido los del mes pasado y anteriores. Quiero me escribas a la casa diciéndome por lo menos si las recibes y si las publican y demás impresiones tuyas sobre el tema. Como verás en éstas van algunos nombres, le dices a Humberto que no tema en publicarlos que si lo hacemos así es porque lo consideramos correcto y que debe ser así. Como ves ésta es la última que hago hoy y ya es un poco tarde, estoy bastante cansado y mañana es la visita.
Escríbeme dos letras y cuéntame.
Dale mis recuerdos a todos en estos días navideños.
Te quiere y besa tu hermano.
Translation - English My dearest Ani:
I don’t have much to tell you, after reading the letters you will find out everything and I won’t have to repeat anything.
I don’t know if you received those from last month or before that. I want you to write me at the house letting me know at least that you receive them and that you will share them along with your other thoughts on the matter. You will see in them that there are some names. Tell Humberto not to be afraid to share them because if we do it, it’s because we feel it’s right and should be this way. As you will see, this is the last one that I will write today because it’s already late, I am rather tired and tomorrow is the visit.
Write me two letters and tell me.
Send my thoughts to everyone during the Christmas holidays.
Your brother sends kisses and loves you.

Bio
As the child of a Spanish-speaking mother who loved to travel, I started traveling to Spain and Mexico at a very young age. It wasn't until college that I started studying Spanish in earnest, earning a double major in Spanish and English and participating in various summer study abroad programs in Spain. After a 20-year career teaching Spanish at the high school level and developing content for online Spanish courses, I decided to earn a Masters in Translation Studies. Although I have strong language skills, I wanted to learn the methodology behind translation and how I can use those methods to create high-quality translations for my clients. I specialize in the translation of educational materials, such as e-learning content, and human resources materials. I also have experience transcribing video content and creating subtitles.
