peer agreement (net): +2Retain the Spanish terms and give measurements Explanation: I can't find equivalent terms in English for pieces with the same dimensions and I very much doubt they exist in the lumber industry. There's really no point in giving literal translations, which would mean nothing to an English-speaking reader ("metre pile" and "pine inch", for example). I think what you will have to do is put the Spanish terms and add definitions either in parentheses or in a note, as follows: metro ruma (a pile of wood for pulp with a volume of 2.44 m3: 1 x 1 x 2.44 m) pulgada pinera (a board measuring 1" x 10" x 10.5'). "- 1 Metro ruma (Mr): = 1m x 1m x 2,44 metros; = 2,44 m3 estereos - 1 Pulgada pinera : = 1 pulg x 10 pulg x 10,5 pies. - 1 Pulgada maderera: = 1 pulg x 10 pulg x 12 pies." http://www.corma.cl/_file/material/manual-forestacion-campes... "La unidad de volumen es el metro ruma (mr), que consiste en una pila de madera con corteza de 2,44 m de largo por 1 m de alto y 1 m de ancho (Souter et al, 2003)." http://cybertesis.uach.cl/tesis/uach/2010/fifv473d/doc/fifv4... |
