Consejos para la traducción

Article about Spanish, written in Spanish. Author El Lobo Demente

    Tras años de realizar traducciones y mucho más tiempo de leerlas y examinarlas, la experiencia y el sentido común me han llevado a aprender varias reglas que distinguen una traducción decente de una chapuza, y la más importante es que no basta con conocer los dos idiomas cualesquiera, si no que hay que tener también grandes cantidades de estilo y dedicación. Poco a poco, he ido aprendiendo estos consejos que me hubiera gustado haber sabido cuando empecé. Puesto que este artículo está escrito pensando en la traducción de canciones, muchos ejemplos y algunas notas se refieren a ellas, pero la mayoría, si no todos, se pueden aplicar a cualquier tipo de traducción, ya sea poesía, subtítulos o textos técnicos. ¡Espero que todo esto te sirva de ayuda!

Tere tulemast! You're one of the minority interested in Estonian, a beautiful Finno-Urgic language. Now, are you like my friends who stare blankly at me when I mention Estonia, and are not sure where it is or if it's even a real place? Estonia is a small country located in Europe, on the Baltic Sea. Until 1991, Estonia was part of the Soviet Union. And although it's considered a Baltic State along with Lithuania and Latvia, it actually has a lot in common with its neighbor across the sea, Finland (especially the language).

Article about Estonian, written in English. Author Lumekuninganna

To simplify things for this lesson, I'll be focusing on cross-language congnates: words that sound similar in both English and Estonian, and have the same meaning. These are fun, and quite useful... especially because I bet you thought the two languages had nothing in common.
