español term

circunscribe la esterilización

español al inglés Mercadeo Mercadeo / Estudios de mercado Cat food market research
This is the text on a PowerPoint slide so there is no more context than it is about spayed cats and food for them:

En ese ejercicio de normalidad en el que se circunscribe la esterilización, el usuario de AEGE (meaning a specific kind of kibble) sigue fielmente lo que el veterinario aconseja:

Cambiar la alimentación
No se plantean “no seguir” esa recomendación
Entra en su lógica


Does "circunscribe" mean "limit" or "restrict" perhaps? When looking for synonyms I have found a variety of words and I am not sure which would be correct, apart from what I have posted here. HEEEELP, please :-0((

Couldn't agree more we all suffer them!

@Beatriz Ramirez de Haro Thank you for your comment Beatriz, you have been of great help, some of these marketing text writers suck!! ha ha ha. Thank you again.
Localization No worries Eileen. You may need to adapt your translation to your audience. If stating that sterilisation is normal seems too obvious, you could replace it by something like "Para asegurar que la esterilización se lleva a cabo con toda normalidad, el usuario de AEGE sigue fielmente lo que el veterinario aconseja"

@Beatriz Ramirez de Haro Thank you for your answer, I forgot to show my appreciation for your help, excuse me. (Sheer frustration with the text!!)
Eileen Brophy (asker) Jun 4, 2017:
@Beatriz Ramirez de Haro How on earth can I say that in English Beatriz? "Sterilisation is a normal practice?"
Sinónimos Hola Eileen: aquí "circunscribir" no tiene ningún sentido limitativo. Equivale a "enmarcar" o "encuadrar" y significa que la esterilización se lleva a cabo en un contexto/entorno de normalidad.

Within this standard exercise in which sterilization is performed

There are of course any number of ways one can express this, but I agree with Bea's interpretation of "se circunscribe" here, and my understanding of "ejercicio de normalidad" is "standard exercise."

I find the Spanish here a bit tangled, and I can see why you would have been confused.
Note from asker:
Thank you Robert, I have translated it as "Sterilisation is a normal practice, where the SFSC user closely follows the vets advice"
I agree that the source text is a bit tangled!! You should see the rest.... :-0((
Peer comment(s):

agree JohnMcDove : From a Spaniard viewpoint, I'd say the Spanish is slightly pedantic. "Tangled" to be translated, but I don't see a big problem "Spanish-Spanish". :-) /./ Okay. As a Spanish native I don't see a problem at all. Mind you, I studied before the LOGSE. ;-)

Thank you for the agree, but I would argue that the meaning is unclear and even misleading, since the Spanish implies (at least in my reading) that sterilization is taking place as part of some other procedure.
agree neilmac : Too wordy in English for my liking, but this is indeed what it says...

I agree, but I felt an obligation to be faithful to the Spanish in this instance. Thank you, neilmac.

agree neilmac : "this" isn't even necessary either. (IMHO the Spanish is... "carried away by the exuberance of its own verbosity"... Something I was warned against in primary school.
