FM London 2014

Wordwide FX’s General Director and Head of Sales had the great pleasure to attended the last Forex Magnates Summit, held in London last week. It was two intense days of business and sharing experiences with the finest of the FX industry. It was a real pleasure to meet up with old friends and to make new acquaintances. Wordwide FX also exhibited in London for the first time, and for sure it won’t be the last one. The two hours of networking from our Blitz table were amazing to take the pulse of the FX sector and we enjoyed them thoroughly. It was also a privilege to attend some of the conferences by some of the best minds in the FX market. And let’s not forget the great organization and the support provided by the Forex Magnates staff. Thank you very much for everything and see you next year! In the photo above, Alex Galera, Managing Director at Wordwide FX, with Forex Magnates Björn Enqvist and Mina Kairesalo.

The Translation Jigsaw: When Legs Are Not Legs… or Maybe Yes

wordwidefx Leave a comment

One of the FX terms that I have discussed more often with my colleagues as an English-Spanish finance translator is that of “leg”, like in “bullish or bearish leg”. Many Spanish versions of FX technical analyses use the word “pata” (“pata alcista” or “pata bajista”) to translate this concept. Any Spanish dictionary will tell you that “pata” is an animal limb (and the female duck). Now, is this right or wrong?

A “leg” is a limb of an animal or a person, true… but it is also a polysemic word. Polysemic words can have more than one meaning, sometimes connected to one another but sometimes totally unrelated. We can argue if the concept of an animal or human “leg” is semantically related to “leg” in the sense of phase, segment, or section; intuitively we can say it probably does, but here it obviously have different meanings. The concept “bullish” or “bearish” leg is, in my view, better translated as “section” (in Spanish, “sección”, “tramo”), not as  “pata” (animal limb)… However, if we use our imagination… who can deny that this nice bearish leg looks like a horse leg?
