Healthcare and child patients - English Spanish Translator Org: Translation Forum � Translators Forums

sara749 · 07-16-2009, 03:15 PM

Hello, I work in healthcare and occasionally we get some only Spanish speaking child patients (between the ages of 3-9) and I can converse with them for the most part, and get mine and the doctor's point across, however I would like to learn to say a few behavior management and encouragement phrases and would love any help from the translators. I have tried online translations via Google, etc... even I know that their version makes no sense,

! Thank you for your time!!

1. You are doing so well!
2. You are such a great patient!
3. Almost done!
4. It takes longer for us to finish if you keep kicking and screaming!

Now this is a toughie, and saying this one in English works everytime that's why I desperatley need the spanish version:

5. " The less you move and around and fight and/or resist us, the faster you'll be able to go home!"

Again, I would appreciate any help and translation with these, and I thank you for your time! Have a great day!

1. You are doing so well! / Lo est�s haciendo muy bien. or Te est�s portando muy bien
2. You are such a great patient! (Eres muy buen paciente)
3. Almost done! (casi terminamos)
4. It takes longer for us to finish if you keep kicking and screaming! (si contin�as pateando y gritando nos demoramos m�s ) or (nos demoramos m�s si no te mantienes tranquilo)

The less you move and around and fight and/or resist us, the faster you'll be able to go home!"
Mientras menos te muevas y te resistas, m�s r�pido podr�s irte a casa.

Hope it helps!

I suggest "¡Tardaremos más si pateas y gritas!".
It's more direct, the translation is "We'll take longer if you kick and scream!"
