Инструкция к посудомоечной машине gen.

[madn]

Доброго времени суток!
Есть сомнения по поводу следующих фраз:
- second basket switch - Rinsing is activated by a second basket switch (второй переключатель корзины?);
- separation cloaks - Open the machine’s lid.Check if there is motor filter, field strainer, separation cloaks and washing handles.Then close the machine’s lid.

Как их правильно перевести? Спасибо за внимание!

к инструкциям должны прилагаться картинки со стрелочками и цифирями (что и где находится, а иногда еще и как оно выглядит укрупненно)

[madn]

Да, но в этой нет) Есть картинка, где индикаторы, все.

[Aiduza]

у вас вся инструкция перед глазами.
у меня - нет.
если вообще не имеете представления, как работает посудомоечная машина, посмотрите видеоролики на Ютубе.
можете начать отсюда:

Вы пренебрегли артиклем "а", который здесь играет ключевую роль. a second = очередной, а не второй. Не "second basket switch", а "а second basket switch".
Функция ополаскивания запускается повторным переключением [на режим обработки содержимого].
и разделительные шторки на месте

a second basket switch isn't well-written and the meaning isn't clear without seeing a diagram of the machine. The author may possibly have intended to say something like....

* 'by pressing the second basket switch'??? or possibly....
* 'by pressing the basket switch a second time'??? or possibly....
* 'by switching [=swapping] the baskets around again'??? (although this seems a strange way to use a dishwasher) or....
* something else.

The above are all wild guesses, though.

[johnstephenson]

The English in the passage generally looks slightly strange. For example,

* Lids are always on the top; if it's at the front/on the sides, it's simply a 'door'. All of the dishwashers I've ever seen have had a door/doors on the front, not a lid on the top.
* Check if there is a, b, c, d and e -- 'is' should read 'are'. In any case, 'Check if there is/are a, b, c, d and e' with nothing after it, is poor English.
* field strainer -- what's this?!?
* washing handles also looks suspect. '(washing) basket handles'???

Overall it looks like a poor translation into English. Is it a Chinese dishwasher...?

[интровверт]

yes, a special chinese dishwasher (only good for washing china)

[johnstephenson]

Very good!

johnstephenson, Turkey dishwasher.

[johnstephenson]

Why would anyone want to put a turkey in a dishwasher? :-)

Seriously, it could be a poor Turkish-English translation.

nice work, John! the colors are bursting on your picture. the dead-center placement of the subject could be considered somewhat weak, but your use of natural framing does enough to compensate for it. well done, sir!

[johnstephenson]

"All my own work"! Actually I just looked up 'turkey' and 'dishwasher' in Google Images, not expecting to find anything, and there it was -- from an article in the Daily Mail! A 'gift'. I wanted to get that joke in before you did!

There may be pets in the house. Just to keep it away from them until the roasting time. Outdoors - same sh.. (problem).

john, awesome! this kind of healthy competition is what keeps raising the bar on the quality of the discussion in this forum!

PS. Анна Ф, спасибо за пояснение к вашей фотографии!!
