Please list all the translation errors in the PJ files

[G-Unit]

My opinions are based on exactly the same evidence that you have used to reach your decision. You want to pretend that my beliefs have no basis..you could not be more wrong

It would be helpful if you were able to support your 'beliefs' by reference to evidence. Instead you resort to abuse. Please don't comment on my posts unless you can provide links to support what you say. Otherwise it's just the same old mantra based on nothing and i won't be bothering to answer.

You have claimed that there were no translation errors in the entire PJ Files.  Back up your statement with links please.

I have not. People have given examples but they are minor and don't change anything significant is what I said.

can you provide evidence that Gerrys statement as recorded is totally accurate

you haven't answered the post...what evidence do you expect...do you expect me to supply evidence of innocence

The statements have changed, whether you would like to admit it or not.

Post 1731 - you state there are no translation errors.  Now perhaps you can address the question of why, if it was as significant as you seem to think it is, Gerry was not cross-questioned about the key issue when he was made arguido.

I'm really surprised G-Unit that you have virtually decided to ignore the difficulties explained by the interpreters themselves.

In this extract from the interpreter's note he/she actually mentions 'mistranslations' - so even the translaters themselves are aware that they can occur.   He/she also confirms that it is the translater who at times needs to decide what the intended meaning of the actual author of the statement was - but who is to say those assumptions are correct?

If the former then (s)he, like me, was faced with the need to decide on an intended meaning before selecting the words to be written in the translation.   In other words, I could be attempting to translate a mis-translation of the original English.

It's natural that translators will have difficulties deciding on the exact meaning. In the case of these statements there would be no difficulties with facts in my opinion. ShininginLuz has confirmed that mentioning a key being used to open a door makes it clear which door is being referred to - the one with a key and a lock. There may be difficulties with statements of opinion, but the meaning would be read back to the witness giving them an opportunity to make corrections. Another example is saying whether curtains were open or closed; unlikely for a mistake to be made in that case; aberto = open fechadas= closed

none of us know exactly what Gerry said so we have nothing to compare....what any sensible person knows is that a non verbatim report by a non native English speaker ...translated twice is not going to be 100% correct as you have claimed...

can you provide any evidence that these statements are 100% correct...you cannot
