English to Italian: Home trainer Detailed field: Sports / Fitness / Recreation
Source text - English Direct-Drive
The **’s unique wheel off design saves your tyres but it is also what makes the ** special. The wheel off design allows us to measure your power output at the hub, with no tyre or roller clamp to disturb your readings. The result is consistent, accurate power. Fits All Bikes with **'s swing arm adjusts the trainer to fit any size bike from 24" to the monster 29'er. (Let's see another trainer do that!)
Translation - Italian Direct-Drive
Il design unico di **, senza la presenza della ruota posteriore, oltre a risparmiare le gomme rende speciale questo rullo. L’assenza della ruota consente di misurare la potenza dal mozzo, senza che il copertone o un morsetto per rullo possano intralciare la lettura. Il risultato è una potenza accurata e coerente. Adatto a tutte le bici grazie al braccio oscillante che adatta il rullo ad ogni taglia di ruote, dalle 24” alle enormi 29er (nessun altro rullo lo fa).

French to Italian: Pollen General field: Art/Literary
Source text - French Dans cet article, nous vous présentons quelques produits qui vous mettent à l’abri du pollen et d’autres allergènes et permettent de maintenir, chez vous, une excellente qualité de l’air. Pourquoi est-ce que le pollen est tellement ennuyeux? En vérité, le pollen est quelque chose de fantastique parce qu’une fois qu’il prend son envol, cela indique le début de la saison chaude de l’année. Tout commence à fleurir et le paysage gris de l’hiver cède sa place aux couleurs enjouées du printemps.
Translation - Italian In questo articolo vi proponiamo dei prodotti che vi mettono al riparo dal polline e da altri allergeni e che vi permettono di mantenere una qualità dell’aria eccellente a casa vostra. Ma perché il polline è così fastidioso? In realtà il polline è una cosa magnifica perché, quando inizia a circolare nell’aria, è segno dell’inizio della bella stagione. Tutto comincia a fiorire e i paesaggi grigi dell’inverno cedono il passo ai colori vivaci della primavera.
English to Italian: About Vikings General field: Art/Literary
Source text - English The Vikings would cast wood into the sea before making landfall. The location of the wood would be an indication as to where they should build their mead halls. The wood used for this ritual would found the high-seat pillars of the new hall. Driftwood carried by Arctic rivers was the main, or sometimes only, source of wood for some Inuit and other Arctic populations living north of the tree line until they came into regular contact with European traders. Traditional Inuit boats such as the kayak were fashioned from driftwood frames covered in skins.
Translation - Italian I vichinghi avevano l’abitudine di gettare dei ceppi in mare prima di approdare a riva. Il luogo in cui venivano ritrovati i ceppi era considerato un’indicazione di dove avrebbero dovuto costruire la Sala dell’idromele. I ceppi usati per questo rituale venivano utilizzati come colonne del trono nella nuova sala. Prima di stabilire rapporti commerciali con i mercanti europei, i ceppi trasportati dalla corrente dei fiumi artici rappresentarono la principale, se non l’unica, fonte di legname per alcuni Inuit e altre popolazioni artiche che vivevano a nord del limite degli alberi. Le imbarcazioni tradizionali degli Inuit, come per esempio i kayak, erano costituite da strutture ricavate dai ceppi trasportati dalla corrente e ricoperte di pelli.

Experience
Years of experience: 14. Registered at ProZ.com: Oct 2010.
I am a professional English, Italian
and French translator. I have over 7 years of
experience, including 3 years and half spent as in-house translator. As an in-house translator I worked for an online sports retailer company, being
responsible for the Italian version of the website. This job gave me the chance
to make experience in a crossover of fields (clothing, GPS devices, technical
language, marketing, legal) in translation/proofreading from English into
Italian. On the top of those I was required to do numerous tasks, such as adapting the content and testing the functionality of apps and new website's
developments for the Italian market. The quality of my
experience is confirmed by my membership (MCIL) of the CIOL (Chartered
Institute of Linguists). CIOL is a professional body which certify that the quality
of a linguist’s work meets rigorous standards.
My interests focus mainly on foreign languages and cultures,
travelling, arts and fashion. Here below you can find more details about my
training.
Education
BA in Linguistic and Cultural Mediation, at the Università
degli Studi di Milano: the course aimed at the development of mediation skills
in multicultural settings through the application of sociological, juridical
and economic knowledge. In particular, in this context I was trained on translating
from English into Italian and vice versa
various kind of texts, including material for tourism and arts, articles
on contemporary and scientific topics and instructions.
Master of Arts in Japanese Studies, at The University of
Sheffield. In this course I deepened my knowledge of the Japanese language and
I translated from Japanese into English short tales and articles on
contemporary topics.
Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Modern
Foregin Languages, at The University of Portsmouth. I wanted to transmit my
passion for speaking foreign languages to the younger generations, so I decided
to train in teaching. In this context I taught Italian up to A2 level
(advanced), French up to AS level (upper-intermediate) and Japanese for
beginners.
Learning French: I learnt French by attending language
courses both in Italy and France, by working as an intern in France and by
keeping in contact, in writing and in person, with French communities.
Other interests
Long term passion for the arts and for the ancient history.
Apart from frequent readings and visits to exhibitions on this thematic I
attended various kind of courses and meetings, including drawing & painting
courses, practical and theoretical workshops on modern art and conferences
about the archaeological discoveries in the Como area.
Interest in the fashion world, deepened by registering to an
on-line course on Fashion Design (L4 Diploma in Fashion Design, Brentwood Open
Learning college) and to a short course on fabrics (Understanding fabrics:
fibres and fabrics, University of the Arts London).
