Discussion

Neil Ashby Mar 16, 2017:
THe point of my last entry was an attempt to explain the situation and apologise, but I see it didn't go down too well.
Taña Dalglish Mar 16, 2017:
Neil, what is the point of this discussion? I have removed my comments, and furthermore, nowhere did I post a definitive answer. You have! I reiterate your answer and links WERE NOT THERE when I posted my original discussion! Additionally, I am not trying to steal your thunder, and if you think that similar things don't happen to me, then you are very wrong! Neil, this discussion is moot, and if you are fed up, it cannot be with me! So... let it be!
Neil Ashby Mar 16, 2017:
Taña my proposal was there before 12:50 pm because I posted the suggestion before my cue about water ("I simply typed, -POU water quality- into google....."), which I posted in the discussion at 12:50 immediately after answering. You obviously didn't see it because you were concentrating on the discussion - sorry for my tetchinees.

Sorry Taña I'm a bit fed up with people not reading my suggestions and then basically repeating the same thing elsewhere; as I said it's happened to me a lot recently. Credit where credit is due.
Taña Dalglish Mar 16, 2017:
@ Neil Your proposal was not there when I edited my entry! (I took out what I had before and then used your queue about water). I noticed the delay in the syncing of the system, so it appears we posted almost simultaneously. Neil, in any event, I don't see the issue, as I am not trying to minimise your efforts in any way! Look, I will remove all my entries!
sebaspedlp (asker) Mar 16, 2017:
Thanks! I know maybe for you I have asked some silly questions but I want to learn from my mistakes, and I know that everybody had a few silly questions while learning too. Thanks both of you for taking your time answering. Tomorrow I will ask my teacher about this too. Thanks again
Neil Ashby Mar 16, 2017:
Sebas err.... why water???
"Routine Tests on purified water" is always a give away. Have you even read your own question before posting it?
Neil Ashby Mar 16, 2017:
Saludos Taña I think it refers to water standards rather than anything pharmaceutical or medical (admittedly the water is used in pharma production, but that's not too relevant).
sebaspedlp (asker) Mar 16, 2017:
classes / these things! sorry
sebaspedlp (asker) Mar 16, 2017:
Neil Sorry, but why water quality?

Taña:
Yes. I can ask for help, but I have clases tomorrow, I was trying to do the homework before going to class. Nothing to do with DNA! Sorry,

Neil, I really, trully dont know why they gave us this things to translate, last week we had something about law and it was so complicated and nobody understand a thing... thanks for your help!
Neil Ashby Mar 16, 2017:
That source text is appalling. I don't see what educational purposes it serves to translate such a very poor source.
Neil Ashby Mar 16, 2017:
I simply typed, -POU water quality- into google and immediately got several, very obvious suggestions......maybe you could develop your internet research skills a bit.
sebaspedlp (asker) Mar 16, 2017:
Hi Neil!! They gave us a translation from French into English to do it into Spanish, then they gave us a translation from Chinese into English to translate it into Spanish, and I also have an Intalian translation into English to translate it into Spanish, I dont know realy where do they take this translations from, I only know I have one week to do them and they tell us how we are supposed to do them, I tried my best to find the equivalent in Spanish, but after reading your answer may be I could try a little harder, I thought there was nowhere else to look. I dont have findings related to this translation with POUs... I mean, I have found sth but nothing to do with Medicine.
Neil Ashby Mar 16, 2017:
FWIW The text appears to be gobbledygook to me. MT from Chinese? I'm surprised that your professors give you something of such poor quality to translate.
Neil Ashby Mar 16, 2017:
Hi sebas,

What research have you done before posting this question? Have you exhausted all possible avenues of investigation, please include your findings in your question - as requested by the Kudoz rules.

As your question stands it looks like you just immediately resort to Kudoz for help without bothering to learn how to do it yourself. Kudoz is not available in the exam room.

Maybe I should be clearer AND INCLUDE A TRANSLATIONS! (sorry forgot about that bit!):
POU = point-of-use (water purification system).
