Portuguese to English: Civilian Aspects of Crisis Management
General field: Social Sciences
Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - Portuguese
O desenvolvimento dos aspectos civis dos mecanismos de gestão de crises constitui uma elevada prioridade para os Parceiros da Cooperação, todos eles empenhados no processo de desenvolvimento ou revisão da legislação e dos mecanismos associados. Estas atividades serviram de fórum para debates relacionados com o papel do parlamento, a divisão de responsabilidades entre os ministérios/organismos civis e o aparelho militar, e entre os diferentes níveis governamentais. As atividades conduzidas nos diversos Países Parceiros centraram-se no desenvolvimento duma percepção destes conceitos no seio do governo, da função pública, dos militares e da mídia. Um documento identificando um certo número de princípios comuns aos países da Aliança em matérias de legislação e dispositivos de planejamento civil de emergência está para ser redigido por um grupo de relatores da OTAN [NATO] e será transmitido aos Parceiros da Cooperação ainda este ano.

Developing the civilian aspects of crisis management mechanisms is of high priority to the Cooperation Partners, all of which are engaged in the process of developing or revising the associated legislation and mechanisms. These activities served as a discussion forum concerning the role of Parliament and the division of responsibilities between the ministries/civilian organizations and the military, and between the different levels of government. Activities conducted in the various Partner Countries focused on developing an understanding of these concepts within the government, the public sector, the military and the media. A document identifying a certain number of principles common to allied countries regarding legislation and provisions for civil emergency planning is to be drafted by a group of NATO rapporteurs and will be sent to the Cooperation Partners later this year.

Bio

Greetings!

My name is Robert Long and I am an experienced freelance translator specializing in Latin-based languages. Since 2012, my personal and professional journey has been defined by a strong commitment to consistent quality and meticulous attention to detail. This dedication is aimed at providing substantial value to the companies I work with.

As an American living abroad since 2018, my experiences over the past few years have greatly honed my linguistic abilities while also deepening my understanding of different cultures. Such insights are invaluable in the field of translation.

Over the course of my career, I have skillfully translated over 5 million words across various domains, with a primary focus on legal and marketing content. I am a proficient with Trados and have also worked with a number of proprietary web-based translation tools used by my clients.

Before embarking on this exciting career path, I served as a Project Manager for a successful translation agency in Houston, Texas. This role equipped me with essential industry knowledge and allowed me to develop efficient processes that continue to guide my work as a language service provider today.

Please let me know if you would like additional information or wish for me to complete any test translations. I would love the chance to work together, leveraging my knowledge and experience to provide value and quality to your company.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

 

Warm regards,

Robert 



"In a world of machine translations and less than qualified translators, it can be hard to find quality and reliability. Fortunately, Robert Long offers both in not one, but five crucial languages. His attention to detail and commitment to quality are evident no matter the size or complexity of the translation. Not only is he fast, but his translations are solid. For quality and convenience on an affordable budget, Robert long is the way to go!"
