0ver the past several years, I have watched as ever tighter security restrictions have been set up in and around the building where I work in New York City. First came a redesign of the main entranceway to add a “man-trap,” two bullet- and explosion-proof glass and steel doors that form a chamber through which all visitors must pass. Next came the installation of “Jersey barriers,” heavy concrete emplacements on the sidewalk that form a perimeter through which a truck- or carbomber cannot easily penetrate. Then the windows of the building were laminated with a special plastic designed to keep glass from shattering in a blast. An electronic “sniffing” device was placed in the lobby to screen incoming mail for explosives. Video surveillance cameras were installed on the exterior of the building, and a professional security firm with uniformed guards was hired to monitor the cameras and to inspect the personal possessions of visitors. For a period of time, the New York City Police Department assigned a patrolman to guard the building’s front door.
The building is headquarters of a national Jewish organization. One block away is a large and beautiful synagogue, the oldest Jewish house of worship in continuous use in the city. This Moorish-style landmark is also now surrounded by jersey barriers, and congregants attending services on Saturdays and holidays are guarded by the police. The same is true of a great many synagogues and Jewish institutions throughout the New York area, across the United States, and around the world.

Negli ultimi anni, le misure di sicurezza interne ed esterne dell’edificio di New York in cui lavoro sono state sempre più rafforzate. Tutto è cominciato con la riprogettazione dell’entrata principale, dove è stata aggiunta una doppia porta antirapina, in acciaio e vetro antiproiettile e a prova di esplosione, passaggio obbligato per tutti i visitatori. Poi sono state installate delle “barriere New Jersey” (piazzole in pesante calcestruzzo disposte sul marciapiede), creando così un perimetro di difficile penetrazione per camion e autobombe. Successivamente, le finestre dell’edificio sono state laminate con una plastica speciale, progettata per impedire al vetro di frantumarsi dopo un’esplosione. Nell’ingresso è stato installato un sistema olfattivo elettronico, per controllare che la posta non contenga esplosivi. All’esterno dell’edificio sono state installate delle videocamere di sorveglianza, ed è stato assunto un istituto di vigilanza professionista: le guardie giurate si occupano del monitoraggio delle videocamere e dell’ispezione degli effetti personali dei visitatori. Per un certo periodo di tempo, il dipartimento di polizia di New York aveva assegnato un poliziotto alla sorveglianza della porta d’ingresso.
Nell’edificio si trova la sede centrale di un’organizzazione nazionale ebraica, ad un isolato di distanza si trova una bellissima grande sinagoga. È il luogo di culto ebraico più antico della città, e viene frequentata assiduamente. Ma anche questo punto di riferimento dallo stile moresco è circondato dalle barriere New Jersey, e gli osservanti vengono sorvegliati dalla polizia, mentre si recano ai riti sabbatici e festivi. Lo stesso vale per la maggior parte delle sinagoghe e delle istituzioni ebraiche all’interno dell’area di New York, in tutti gli Stati Uniti e nel mondo intero.
German to Italian: Solare termico
Source text - German
Energie ist ein Thema, das in Europa immer mehr Bedeutung erlangt. Die Europäische Kommission warnt vor einer zunehmenden Importabhängigkeit, die bis 2030 auf 70% ansteigen wird. Die Klimabelastungen durch das Verbrennen fossiler Energien nimmt ständig zu, immer mehr Forscher sehen einen direkten Zusammenhang zwischen den zunehmenden Naturkatastrophen wie den Überschwemmungen des vergangenen Jahres und der Klimaerwärmung. Die EU ist deshalb im Kyoto-Protokoll weitreichende Verpflichtungen zur Reduzierung des CO2-Ausstosses eingegangen. Neben dem sparsameren Energieverbrauch müssen deshalb zunehmend die erneuerbaren Energien genutzt werden.
Solarthermie, die Wärmegewinnung aus Sonnenenergie, spielt unter den erneuerbaren Energien eine besondere Rolle, da sie praktisch in jedem Haushalt eingesetzt werden kann. Solarthermieanlagen gibt es bereits überall in Europa, z.B. kleine und günstige Thermosyphonanlagen in Südeuropa, größere, hocheffiziente Anlagen, die zusätzlich zur Trinkwassererwärmung auch die Raumheizung unterstützen, in Mitteleuropa, und sehr große Anlagen, die in Nahwärmeversorgungssysteme in Nordeuropa einspeisen. Seit den Ölkrisen in den 70er Jahren wird die Sonnenstrahlung zur Wasser- oder Lufterwärmung genutzt. Heute gibt es eine international aktive Industrie, eine ausgereifte, hocheffiziente Technologie und eine Vielzahl attraktiver Produkte. Immer mehr Handwerker haben mittlerweile Erfahrungen mit solarthermischen Anlagen, Forschungsinstitute und Produzenten haben sich ein umfangreiches Know-how über die Solarthermie erworben.
Translation - Italian
Il tema energia sta acquistando sempre più significato all’interno dell’Europa. La commissione europea mette in luce la sempre maggiore dipendenza dall’importazione, che salirà del 70% entro il 2030. Continuano ad aumentare i danni climatici causati dalla combustione delle energie fossili: un numero sempre più alto di ricercatori vede un collegamento diretto tra le crescenti catastrofi naturali (inondazioni dell’ultimo anno) e il surriscaldamento climatico. In questa prospettiva, l’UE ha aderito agli obblighi previdenti del protocollo di Kyoto per la riduzione delle emissioni di CO2. Oltre ad un consumo energetico più responsabile, dovrà crescere il consumo delle fonti di energia rinnovabili.
Il solare termico, ovvero la produzione di calore tramite energia solare, gioca un ruolo fondamentale tra le energie rinnovabili, poiché è possibile introdurlo praticamente in ogni abitazione. Gli impianti solari termici si trovano già in tutta Europa, ad esempio i piccoli e convenienti termosifoni dell’Europa del sud, quelli più grandi e ad alta efficienza dell’Europa centrale, che oltre alla funzione caldaia permettono il riscaldamento della casa, ed impianti assai imponenti, che si immettono nei sistemi di fornitura locale di calore dell’Europa del nord. Sin dalla crisi petrolifera degli anni 70, l’irradiazione solare viene utilizzata per riscaldamento di acqua o aria. Oggigiorno è presente un’industria attiva a livello internazionale, una tecnologia matura e ad alta efficienza ed una pluralità di prodotti interessanti. Nel frattempo, sempre più tecnici hanno preso dimestichezza con gli impianti solari termici, gli istituti di ricerca e i produttori hanno acquisito un vasto know how sul solare termico.

Bio

Unlock a world of seamless communication and captivating gaming experiences with my expertise as a seasoned Italian translator. With 20 years of professional dedication, I have mastered a diverse array of industries, including IT, localization, gaming, software, consumer electronics, ERP, cloud systems, and technical manuals.


In the dynamic realm of gaming, I've shaped millions of words, leaving my mark on MMORPGs, single-player adventures, and puzzle games. I've collaborated with industry giants such as Google, Adobe, Microsoft, and Apple, ensuring that their products resonate globally.


Embark on a journey through my extensive portfolio, which boasts translations for Red Moon Studios' online games like Dig'n'fight, TechWarrior, BananenKoenig, Monsters Game, Tales of Magic, and Pirates Assault. My contributions extend to in-flight games, the Xbox title "Gundam Dynasty Warriors," and Formula 1 titles, where I didn't just translate but immersed myself in gameplay for meticulous testing.


Venturing into the realm of MMORPGs, I've localized AION and Soulworker from German into Italian, showcasing my adaptability. More recently, I've added enchantment to Disney Magic Kingdoms, delved into the pixelated worlds of Minecraft and Dead Cells, explored the strategic landscapes of Northgard, and navigated the eerie atmosphere of Little Nightmares.


To stay at the forefront of industry trends, I completed a game localization course at Glos Academy in December, enriching my already profound expertise.


Beyond my professional pursuits, my love for gaming traces back to classics like Cooking Mama, Chocobo Tales, and Street Fighter on the Nintendo DS and Amiga. Currently, I immerse myself in the enchanting world of Hogwarts Legacy, the futuristic allure of Cyberpunk 2077, and the Viking saga of Assassins' Creed Valhalla.


As a testament to my versatility, I've not only excelled in translation but have also interpreted esteemed industry figures like Miles Tost and Pawel Sasko from CD PROJEKT RED during Cyberpunk panels at Lucca Comics.


Away from the virtual realms, I've embraced the magical allure of Wizards Unite, bringing the wizarding world of Harry Potter to life with every step.


Empowered by cutting-edge tools such as MemoQ, Trados Studio 2021, Passolo, Polyglot, Phrase, Smartling, and SmartCat, I ensure that your content speaks the language of success.


Join me on a linguistic adventure where every translation is an immersive experience, tailored to captivate and resonate with your global audience.
