Thread: Looking for translated medical texts to analyze

Hello, does anyone have a suggestion as to how or where I can find medical journal articles translated between English and Spanish? I need material to contrast and compare for my thesis on the translation of scientific articles.
Thank you,

Hello traductoro:
There are a lot of papers online.
Have you tried looking into medical journal websites? I think they have Spanish translations there as well.
Check that out and let me know if you found anything that helped you.

I had another idea, you can log into the OMS (Organización Mundial de la Salud) and WHO (World Health Organization) websites, they have a lot of documents and I'm sure they have a lot of translations as well.
Thanks

It's a great idea! There are some websites from government agencies (like the NIH) that have a Spanish portal with lots of papers already translated. I have no idea about how useful it may be, but remember that you usually have the summaries in English for papers originally written in Spanish.

You can also find papers in Spanish at the Asociación Médica Argentina Website

¡Hola a todos!

Puedo recomendar algunos artículos que tratan el tema de tu tesis: las diferencias en la traducción de textos médicos.

Los enlaces de esos artículos son:

¡¡Espero que nos cuentes cómo has armado tu tesis!!

Cordialmente.
