Talk:Wikinews interviews Spanish Paralympic swimmer Marta Gómez

Journalist notes

This was done at 8am yesterday at the airport in Madrid. The audio quality is kind of problematic and the in person translating was... fun again. I had three at various times: Michelle Alsonso's coach who did Michelle Alsonso and Omar Font. There was the team physician who did some with the María Delgado interview, and Deborah Font who also assisted with María Delgadoand the Marta Gomzez. My normal transcriber was not available. These interviews were done in advance of the 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships which start Monday in Montreal.

UAwiki from Spanish Wikipedia did this transcript. The raw text they sent me of the transcript is below.

-This is Laura Hale, I'm interviewing Marta Gómez, it's a Spanish Paralympic swimmer going to the 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships in Montreal. Are you going to Montreal and what ¿strokes? and distances are you competing in?

-Voy a nadar los 100 [metros] y 400 libres, y los 200 estilo giro ¿?

-Are you going to win any medals?

-¿Vas a ganar alguna medalla?

-En Europeo 2011, en Berlín, gané 3 bronces.

-In Montreal, do you take ¿giro? medals in Montreal?

-¿Tienes medalla en Montreal?

-Voy a intentar luchar por la medalla en el 400 libres que es mi prueba principal, pero bueno, hay que ¿sentir? y nadarlos; la ¿? serán mis opciones más claras, pero hasta que no se nade no hay nada claro.

-Did you competed the previous Paralympic Games in London?

-Sí.

-And no medals?

-No. Fui de ¿cima? en Londres.

-What's the difference preparing for London to the World Championships?

-¿Qué diferencia hay con Londres? [probably she said that]

-Que yo he mejorado muchos aspectos tanto a nivel de técnica como de rendimiento, y sobre todo el aspecto psicológico que a raíz de Londres he afrontado las competiciones de otra manera y me siento mucho más segura de mí misma y me he vuelto más competitiva.

-Are you a swimmer with a visual impediment? Can not see...?

-¿De qué categoría eres?

-S3D.

-When you swim, can you see the swimmers next to you?

-Depende de la prueba, siempre va... la de velocidad en pruebas cortas... por ejemplo en 100 [metros] brazas y 100 libres al ser tan cortas no vas tan pendiente de los rivales, pero por ejemplo en 400 sí que puedo ver más pero solamente a las que tengo a los lados, no puedo ver a todas las nadadoras, a las 8 nadadoras de la serie es imposible, no alcanzo a verlas.

-When you swim, do you mostly think about your own race and you cannot ¿fully? see everyone? Do you race more against yourself because you can not see?

-¿Nadas más contigo misma o por no poder ver ¿? más tu prueba?

-Sí, claro. Al no poder a las rivales te tienes que ¿dedicar? a hacer tu prueba porque no tienes a lo mejor a nadie en quién fijarte, puedes tener una ligera referencia pero tienes que nadar tu prueba y nadar contigo misma.

-Why did you choose swimming as oppose to athletics or ¿? or some other sport.

-Yo solo he practicado la natación desde pequeña, siempre me ha gustado mucho el agua y ha sido el único deporte que he practicado porque me parece un deporte en que sientes mucha libertad y no tienes ningún tipo de barreras arquitectónicas ni nada.

-Gracias.

-De nada.

Caveat

The transcription of the first of these used machine translations in both directions (though the transcriber's function of writing down what was said in Spanish seemed to be done competently, as far as I noticed). --Pi zero (talk) 01:56, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Er. Yes. This. Hopefully that was explained. I tried to get the text into more sensible order. :/ --LauraHale (talk) 07:56, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Revision 1969002 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 05:33, 11 August 2013 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: Although on several questions I didn't think the Spanish translation actually occurred in the audio, and I did "remove" them, I did so by commenting them out. It turns out with enough patience one can actually squeeze somewhat more out of a phrase-based auto-translator that first appears, by probing around in a sentence, testing to see how the translation changes when one inserts linebreaks in various places. Plus, of course, consulting Wiktionary on particularly key words. The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.
