Hi all, I am translating a contract about helicopters and repairing/replacing parts. Please see the part from the source text I am working on below: 'Los requisitos y criterios expuestos en este apartado serán aplicables a repuestos, conjuntos, equipos de apoyo en tierra (AGE), herramientas, utillaje y en general a todos aquellos artículos necesarios para garantizar el apoyo logístico de la Flota XXX.'

Please see the part from the source text I am working on below: 'Los requisitos y criterios expuestos en este apartado serán aplicables a repuestos, conjuntos, equipos de apoyo en tierra (AGE), herramientas, utillaje y en general a todos aquellos artículos necesarios para garantizar el apoyo logístico de la Flota XXX.' I'm really stuck on what 'conjunto' means here. This is what I have so far: 'The requirements and criteria displayed in this section will be applicable to spare parts, ... , ground support equipment, tools and in general all the necessary items to guarantee logistical support from Fleet XXX.' The main translations I have found are: combination, group, ensemble, unit, set among others. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance, Catharine ▲ Collapse | | |
Hi Catharine, I believe "sets" or "compounds" may fit in that context. Still, you will get better answers aboit vocabulary if you ask in KudoZ. Regards | | |
There's a specific section on the website for terminology questions: https://www.proz.com/ask That being said, I'd use "assemblies" (I know there's a lot of hose assemblies involved in aerial units' maintenance, and I bet there's other pre-assembled kits and sets too in general). | | |
Hi Rossana, Thank you for letting me know about the other section for terminology, that's really helpful. Thank you also for your thoughts on the term - I like it! Gracias y saludos, Catharine | |

It appears that my response to the kudoz query was insufficient for your needs. However, whether you call it an assembly/kit/set, it is what it is. Unless there is a more specific term in the source text, that is all we have to work with. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Vocab help needed: conjunto - from a technical text about helicopters Wordfast Pro | Translation Memory Software for Any Platform
