While they farm using traditional horse-drawn methods, their agriculture is highly productive. The document also notes that the Amish population is expanding and only about 18% of young Amish leave the community's austere lifestyle.
The document discusses translating a paragraph from English to Spanish about Amish communities in the United States. It provides the original English paragraph, followed by the Spanish translation. It then includes three reflection texts discussing particular translation techniques and challenges encountered, such as replacing the word "roadsign" with "traffic signal" and changing the phrasing of "two black horse-drawn buggies" for clarity. Finally, it presents a table comparing translation methods, strategies, and techniques as the mental processes and specific linguistic transfer activities involved in translation.

The Amish community in the United States is growing rapidly through high birth rates. In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the original and largest Amish community, the Amish population grew by 400% between 1950 and 1990 solely through natural growth. While the white American population has remained stable, the Amish population has risen from a few thousand in 1900 to over 100,000 currently, spread across communities in the eastern U.S. and Ontario. Amish families average over six children due to their rejection of modern medicine and birth control. Amish teens are typically rebellious like other American teens until baptism between ages 16-21, after which they must conform more strictly to Amish traditions and codes.

The document discusses translation techniques used in summarizing a group project about translation between Oscar Herney Escobar Gómez and 6 other students. It includes a sample paragraph translated into Spanish using techniques like transposition, literal translation, modulation, and reformulation. The original paragraph describes an unexpected encounter with an Amish community in rural America.
The document is a translation assignment from a Spanish language course. It contains the original English text of three paragraphs describing Amish communities in America, along with the Spanish translation of those paragraphs completed by two students, Erika Congote and Olga Yaned Nel. It also includes reflections from the students on challenges they faced in translation and charts outlining translation methods, strategies and techniques.
The document provides an overview of Amish Americans, including their history, beliefs, and practices. It discusses how the Amish are descended from Anabaptists in Europe and faced religious persecution. Many Amish immigrated to Pennsylvania and Ohio in the 1700s-1800s for economic and religious reasons. Their beliefs emphasize humility, separation from the world, and plain dress and language. Teens may experience mainstream culture during Rumspringa before committing to the church. While the Amish try to separate from technology, some adopt modern conveniences depending on their congregation's Ordnung. Tourism both benefits and challenges Amish communities.

Here are a few key points regarding employee reimbursement analysis and improving patient satisfaction:
- Reimbursement from insurance companies and government programs is increasingly tied to patient satisfaction metrics like HCAHPS scores. Higher satisfaction leads to higher reimbursement.
- To improve satisfaction, organizations need to focus on the employee experience as well. Satisfied, appreciated employees directly contribute to better patient care and outcomes.
- Conducting an analysis of current reimbursement policies can help ensure employees feel sufficiently compensated and supported in their important work. This contributes to employee satisfaction and loyalty.
- Areas to analyze include compensation compared to market rates, benefits offerings, reimbursement processing times, and policies around things like continuing education or travel for

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

2. PARAGRAPH 1
America's Amish communities live a lifestyle that has changed little since the 18th
century; but in other respects, they are showing other Americans the way forward into
the twenty-first....
The road sign is, to say the least, unexpected; driving through a prosperous rural part of
North America, the last thing you expect to see beside the highway is a yellow diamond
road sign with a horse and buggy in the middle! Watch out for horses and buggies on
the road? What is this? Do they exercise racehorses here, or what?
You keep an eye open for horses; for two miles you see nothing, then all of a sudden,
look! Coming towards you on the other side of the road, two black horse-drawn buggies!
As they go by, your surprise turns to disbelief; what's going on? Are they making a
movie about eighteenth century America? The men and the women in the buggy look
like they jumped out of a novel by Fennimore Cooper. Then, another mile and things get
even stranger; beside a neat-looking farm-house, there is a whole line of buggies. In the
door of the house, half a dozen men in black coats, and with long beards, are talking
while some women dressed in a curiously ancient fashion are sitting on a bench. Is this
2015 or 1715?
3. PARAGRAPH 1
Las comunidades americanas de Amish viven un estilo de vida que ha cambiado poco
desde el siglo 18; pero en otros respectos, ellos están mostrando a otros americanos el
camino hacia el veintiún…
¡Las señales son, para decir lo menos, inesperado, conduciendo hacia un próspero
campo de Norte América, la última cosa tu esperarías ver además de la autopista es
una señal de transito diamante amarrillo con un caballo y carrosa en el medio!
¿Cuidado con los caballos y carrosas en la vía? ¿Qué es eso? ¿Ejercitan caballos de
carrera aquí, o qué?
Mantén un ojo abierto por los caballos; ¡por dos millas tú no ves nada, entonces de
repente, mira! ¡Viniendo hacia ti en el otro lado de la vía, dos caballos negros tirando
carrosas! Mientras pasan, tu sorpresa se convierte en incredulidad; ¿Qué está
pasando? ¿Están haciendo una película sobre el siglo XVIII en américa? El hombre y la
mujer en el carruaje parecen que saltaron de una novela por Fennimore
Cooper. Entonces, otra milla y las cosas se tornan más extraño, al lado de un apuesto
granjero, hay toda una línea de carrosas. In la puerta de la casa, media docena de
hombres in abrigos negros, y con largas barbas, están hablando mientras algunas
mujeres vestidas curiosamente de forma antigua están sentadas en una banca. ¿es
esto 2015 o 1715?
Translation methods, strategies and techniques
Translation techniques are defined as the different techniques the translator can use to
change the text from a language to another because the text can have some difficulties
to translate specific words, phrases or ideas to another language.
Strategy translation are the potentially conscious plans for solving concrete translation
problems, in my opinion the strategy is set of techniques that a translator will use to
solve the problems he can find in a text to be translated to another language, if this text
needs some sort of special technique or the grammatical of the text need changes to be
understand in the other language.
In other words, the strategy is the use of the technique in a concrete situation.
The method is another part of the translation, the method difference itself from the
strategy in the point that strategy change depending on each phrase depending of the
situation, while the translation strategy us used for sentences the method is related to
whole text.
So in my opinion the method is the type of translation we want to produce if it is a literal
translation, adaptation or faithful translation, etc. The strategy are the steps, the plan we
have to use to produce this translation and last the technique are concerned to the
specific change of a word or a phrase from the source language into another language.

they were part of the idiosyncrasy of the American and the culture.

You drive on, wondering what has happened to this part of the United States of
America? Have you driven into a time-warp, and without realizing it, gone back 300
years, or is it the people you've just seen who're stuck in a time warp?
A quick enquiry at the nearest gas station gives you the answer; you are in Amish
country, and the men and women you have just seen are Amish, part of a strange
religious group that settled in America in the 18th century, and much of whose lifestyle
has changed little since then.
If you had seen the movie "Witness", you would have already known something about
the Amish, how their community is strictly religious and self-contained, how Amish
people do without the essentials of modern-day life such as electricity and cars, and how
they do not mix with people outside of their own community. It is virtually unheard of for
anyone to become an Amish, who was not born an Amish.
PÁRRAFO 2
¿Sigues conduciendo, preguntándote qué ha pasado con esta parte de los
Estados Unidos de América? ¿Te has metido en una deformación del tiempo, y sin
darse cuenta, ha retrocedido 300 años, o es la gente que acabas de ver que está
atrapada en una deformación del tiempo?
Una investigación rápida en la gasolinera más cercana le da la respuesta; Usted está
en el país de Amish, y los hombres y las mujeres que usted acaba de ver son Amish,
parte de un grupo religioso extraño que se estableció en América en el siglo XVIII, y
mucho de cuyo estilo de vida ha cambiado poco desde entonces.
Si usted hubiera visto la película "Testigo", usted ya habría sabido algo sobre los
Amish, cómo su comunidad es estrictamente religiosa y autónoma, cómo la gente
Amish hace sin los elementos esenciales de la vida moderna como la electricidad y los
coches, y Cómo no se mezclan con personas ajenas a su propia comunidad. Es casi
inaudito que alguien se convierta en un Amish, que no nació como Amish.
Reflection
About the text, I don’t have so much to say because I didn’t have any problem to
translate, and always what I do is compare whit the dictionary the structure of the words
to make my sentence perfect as much possible.
I think is quietly interesting what we can learn about the text where is spoken about how
the Amish culture still there they life style it can be like that, just whit out technology and
that Cain of tools that we use every single day to make our life style just easier.
6. If I think about myself then I can say that technology has made our life very much better
in some aspects like regarding family and friends whit the media that we use every day
to contact, but on the another side we know also that some other people they use it whit
another intentions except for the good one but ja this is life and must be further.

PARAGRAPH 3
In brief, the Amish are members of an ultra-protestant religious movement that first
came to America from the upper Rhine valley over three hundred years ago, and have
kept their traditions and lifestyles. They are very law-abiding citizens, and their
community is one in which crime is almost, though not entirely, inexistent; Amish families
live strict lives, following the same code of morals as their ancestors. In a sense, they
are indeed stuck in a time warp.
Yet the most remarkable things to note about the Amish are not their quaint lifestyles
and their home-made clothes, but the expansion of their community, its efficiency, its
social cohesion, and their recent adoption of "green" technology, including wind-power
and solar energy. Although they work the land using traditional horse-drawn machines,
and use no chemical fertilizers, their agriculture is - interestingly - among the most
productive in North America!
Párrafo 3
Brevemente los Amish son miembros de un movimiento religioso ultra protestante que
vino primero de America desde valle más alto desde hace cientos de años, y ha
guardado sus tradiciones y estilo de vida. Ellos son ciudadanos de una ley duradera y
su comunidad es una donde el crimen no es del todo inexistente. Las familias Amish
viven vidas muy estrictas, siguen el mismo código moral de sus ancestros, en un
sentido, ellos están atascados en un momento para dañarse.
Aún las cosas más remarcables para notar sobre los Amish no son sus pintorescos
estilos de vida y sus ropas hechas en casa, pero la expansión de su comunidad, su
eficiencia, su cohesión, y su reciente adopción de las tecnologías verdes, incluyen el
poder del viento y la energía solar. Aunque ellos trabajan la tierra usando sus
tradicionales carrozas y el no uso de fertilización química, su agricultura es interesante
dentro de las más productivas en Norte América.

The fact that only about 18% of young Amish abandon the austere way of life of their
ancestors is not the only reason why the community is growing so fast. Other factors
include increasing life-expectancy, and higher standards of living.
As for machines and modernity, Amish families do not live a primitive life; while they
reject the use of mains electricity in the home, they accept the use of kerosene and
efficient wood-burning stoves that provide plenty of light and heat and comfort in their
homes; and they are certainly not out of touch with technology. It was estimated that in
2007, 80% of homes in some Amish communities were using wind or solar power! In
this respect, far from being stuck in the past, they can be considered as one of the most
advanced communities in the world!
As for leisure, it is not one of their major preoccupations! While they do not have
televisions or radios, they have other social activities; yet Amish leaders fear that the
development of a cult of leisure could rapidly destroy their society.
Contrary to popular belief, the Amish are not cut off from the rest of America; like any
farmers, they need markets for their products and suppliers for their goods; some work
for non-Amish employers. Many have non-Amish neighbors. They know what is going
on in the rest of the United States, and like many other Americans, they are alarmed by
many modern developments.
This too explains why most young Amish opt to carry on with the hard-working and
strict way of life of their community. Though Amish life is hard in many ways, it is free of
most of the pressures and problems of the rest of American society. As long as this
lifestyle is not forced into radical change, many of those who have been brought up in it
will continue to see it as an attractive option.
8. Translación: Párrafo 5
El hecho de que solo un 18% de los jóvenes Amish abandonan la austera forma de vida
de sus ancestros no es la única razón por la que la comunidad está creciendo tan
rápido. Otros factores incluyen la incrementación de la esperanza de vida, y más altos
estándares de vida.
En cuanto a las máquinas y la modernidad, las familias Amish no viven una vida
primitiva; aunque ellos rechazan el uso de redes principales de electricidad en los
hogares, aceptan el uso de queroseno y eficientes estufas de leña que les proporciona
abundancia de luz y calor y comodidad en sus hogares; y ellos, desde luego, no han
perdido el contacto con la tecnología. Se estimó que, en el 2007, el 80% de los hogares
de algunas comunidades Amish estaban usando energía eólica y solar! En este
contexto, lejos de estar atascados en el pasado, ¡pueden ser considerados como una
de las comunidades más avanzadas del mundo!
En cuanto al ocio, ¡no es una de sus mayores preocupaciones! Aunque no tienen
televisiones y radios, tienen otras actividades sociales; pero de hecho los lideres Amish
temen que el desarrollo de un culto al ocio podría rápidamente destruir su sociedad.
Contrario a la creencia popular, los Amish no están desconectados del resto de los
Estados Unidos; como cualquier granjero, necesitan mercados para sus productos y
para los proveedores de sus productos; algunos trabajos para empleadores no Amish.
Muchos tienen vecinos no Amish. Ellos saben que es lo que ocurre en el resto de los
Estados Unidos, y como muchos otros americanos, están alarmados de tantos avances
modernos.
Esto también explica él porque la mayoría de los jóvenes Amish optan por continuar con
el trabajo duro y la forma estricta de vida de su comunidad. Aunque la vida de los Amish
es difícil en muchos sentidos, esta liberada de la mayoría de las tensiones y problemas
del resto de la sociedad estadounidense. Mientras este estilo de vida no sea forzado a
un cambio radical, muchos de estas personas han sido educadas en ella continuaran
viéndolo como una opción atractiva.
9. Reflection
The translation of this text or paragraph was not so difficult, but, I have a few problems
such as the meaning or because is a phrasal verb.
1. Austere: in Spanish is Austera which means severe in manner, appearance, or
morals, strict or serious; the problem was that I did not know the meaning in
English or Spanish.
2. Life-expectancy: the direct translation is esperanza de vida, but, there are some
meanings which are so similar and I thought that the direct translation was the
best meaning for the context in the paragraph.
3. As for: the problem whit these words it was that I knew the meaning of the two
words but I did not know the meaning of these words together.
4. While: the direct translation is mientras but when is starting a sentence it become
in aunque, so it was a problem.
5. Reject: one of the meanings is rechazar and I thought that is the best one for this
text or context.
6. Kerosene: in Spanish is queroseno the problem was that I did not know the
meaning in English and Spanish which means is a combustible hydrocarbon
liquid which is derived from petroleum.
7. Wood-burning stoves: these words can be translating as estufas de leña but
sometimes can be hard to be sure because of the different meanings.
8. Leisure: this word means ocio the problem was that I did not know meaning in
English.
9. Yet: I had a little problem because I was not sure about the meaning but I put the
meaning I thought was the best for the context
10. Goods: the problem was that I did not know the meaning of this word.
