Thread: !!! Hi from Argentina !!!

¡ Hi !

I'm Verónica from Argentina. I'm studying to be a Sworn Translator in English at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) Here is the link for you to check it out : http://www.uba.ar/ingles/index01.php

My job has to do a lot with Law, that's why here in Argentina, Sworn Translators take the same subjects as Lawyers. We translate personal documents, such as Birth Certificates, Marriage Licenses, School records, Passports...and of course, contracts of any kind. It's a HARD course of study, you know?

I hope to find the help I need and to MAKE FRIENDS here.


Best regards,

...::: Verónica :::...

in Argentina there are several schools of Translatorship, in different universities, besides UBA (UADE, UCA, UB, etc.) and not all of them are Law-oriented. I'm a graduate from the UNLP (Universidad Nacional de La Plata), I'm a Sworn Translator too, but our courses include Literary Translation, Scientific-Technical Translation AND Legal Translation... AND ALL ARE HARD COURSES! hahaha.

good luck with your studies!

Dos Traductoras Públicas, genial !!!! Estoy más tranquila!! Las voy molestar bastante , ladies!!!! Aca va la primera consulta...estamos traduciendo una Marriage license de Montana, y no sabemos como traducir que los testigos están acting by proxy...dice asi : Maria Molina by Sarah Knapton proxy; David Turner by Kyle (ilegible) proxy. Perdón, pero los corchetes no funcionan aca!!! ¿Cómo lo resolverian, Traductoras?

'Toy felizzzzzzzz, ustedes son las primeras profesionales con las que tengo contacto afuera de la Facu!!!!!

Besos!!!!

Acting by proxy: por poder o en representación de...

El PROXY es una carta poder para representar a una persona en alguna junta, asamblea, reunión, etc. que posiblemente se requiera su votación u opinión, (dependiendo del contenido)
y el POWER OF ATTORNEY normalmente se usa cuando se constituyen empresas u otros trámites legales pero con la diferencia que éste incluye específicamente que poderes tiene y con fundamento en la ley, existen por ejemplo los poderes para pleitos y cobranza POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR LAWSUITS AND COLLECTION, actos de administración, POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR ADMINISTRATION, de dominio, cambiario, delegar poderes, etc. etc.

Hope it helps!
