Lo que debe ser y lo que dice el cliente. George: no te quito la razón, me ha pasado. Sin embargo, creo que debemos dejarnos convencer por lo que dice el cliente solo en última instancia y presentarle argumentos sólidos de por qué no se dice de tal manera. El mismo cliente no le dice a su abogado como ganar su caso, ni a su arquitecto como construir la casa. Con todo respeto a tu opinión, prefiero que no me pagen porque una mala traducción se refleja en toda la comunidad de traductores profesionales.

Lorena, these are response options to a question about how 'controlled' a patient's condition is with the medication they are taking. My question was: which is the best translation? the client's suggestion didn't sound right to me. Thank you

Thank you George.

Your options are impeccable. If the client insists on using what they want, it is their problem, not yours, as long as they pay you. I would submit what I consider correct, and add apolite note about their suggestion. Their suggestions, while extemenly ankward and unnatural sounding, are understandable by anyone who speaks Spanish, so nobody is going to die as a result of not understanding the questions.

Hi Maria What is the question or what is better controlled, what are we talking about?
