| ps/2 ports (2x legacy ps/2 option) conectores PS/2 (opción de 2 conectores PS/2 compatibles). Explanation: Before to look for a good translation of “PS/2 Ports (2x Legacy PS/2 Option)”, we have to know what is a PS/2. PS/2 is a personal computer of IBM named as “IBM Personal System/2”. Like every computer or electronic device, the PS/2 entered to the market with a series of connectors or ports to connect this personal computer with keyboards, electronic mice, printers, video devices, external monitors, scanners and other machines included other personal computers of other makers (Dell, HP, Compaq, Toshiba or clones of these brands). IBM introduced the IBM PS/2 in 1987. Due to importance of this computer in the moment that IBM launched it to the market, a lot of makers of computers and electronic devices included PS/2 connectors in their machines to receive/send digital signals according to the specifications of the IBM PS/2. After that, IBM discontinued the PS/2, however the industry continued using the PS/2 ports or connectors to connect compatible devices according to this standard. Now we have to understand what the PS/2 port or connector is. The PS/2 port is a connector with 6 pins used for connecting keyboards and mice in IBM Personal System/2 (PS/2) and in compatible personal computers. For the people who are not familiar with the different connectors of the computers and digital devices, we can compare the PS/2 port or connector with the USB ports or connectors used today in the smart-phones, cameras and also computers to transmit data (text), images, video, and sound. About the translation of “port”, the problem is we don’t have an exact translation. The translation of “port” as “puerto” is a textual translation that some people use. But in Spanish, “puerto” doesn’t mean the place where we connect a cable with the specification of the PS/2 computers of IBM or the compatible computers of the brands like HP or Dell that also used during long time PS/2 connectors. This is the explanation of ‘puerto” that the Real Academia gives us: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- puerto Del lat. portus. 1. m. Lugar en la costa o en las orillas de un río que por sus características, naturales o artificiales, sirve para que las embarcaciones realicen operaciones de carga y descarga, embarque y desembarco, etc. 2. m. Localidad en la que existe un puerto. 3. m. Paso entre montañas. 4. m. Montaña o cordillera que tiene uno o varios puertos. 5. m. Presa o estacada de céspedes, leña y cascajo, que atraviesa el río para hacer subir el agua. 6. m. Asilo, amparo o refugio. 7. m. Inform. Punto de conexión de una computadora que la enlaza con algunos de sus periféricos. 8. m. germ. Posada o venta. 9. m. pl. En el Concejo de la Mesta, pastos de verano. puerto de arrebatacapas 1. m. coloq. Sitio por donde corren vientos impetuosos. 2. m. coloq. Lugar o casa donde, por la confusión y el desorden y la calidad de las personas, hay riesgo de fraudes o rapiñas. puerto de arribada 1. m. Mar. puerto en el que entran las embarcaciones forzadas por el mal tiempo. puerto deportivo 1. m. puerto especialmente construido para el amarre de embarcaciones deportivas y de recreo. puerto franco 1. m. Zona portuaria habilitada para recibir depósitos francos. puerto libre 1. m. puerto franco. 2. m. En tiempo de guerra, puerto que no declara bloqueado ningún beligerante. puerto seco 1. m. Lugar de las fronteras donde está establecida una aduana. agarrar un barco el puerto 1. loc. verb. Mar. tomar puerto. de puertos allende 1. loc. adj. Dicho de un territorio: Situado más allá de una sierra o cordillera. de puertos aquende 1. loc. adj. Dicho de un territorio: Que se halla más acá de una sierra o cordillera. naufragar alguien en el puerto 1. loc. verb. Ver arruinados o trastornados sus proyectos cuando más seguros los creía. tomar puerto un barco 1. loc. verb. Llegar a puerto. capitán de puerto capitanía de puerto establecimiento de puerto --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The right translation to Spanish is “conector’. Here, we can read the explanation of the Real Academia about “conector”: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- conector, ra 1. adj. Que conecta. Apl. a dispositivo, u. t. c. s. m The word “dispositivo” in English means: “device”. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And the word “compatible/s” is the best word in this case for “legacy”. Why? Because the “compatible connectors” (In Spanish: “conectores compatibles”) are the connectors that work according to the legacy of a product or machine. In this case, the compatible machines, devices and ports are compatible with the standard of the industry that IBM developed for the PS/2 (the legacy of the IBM PS/2). ============================================================= In summary, if we want to make a good translation of PS/2 Ports (2x Legacy PS/2 Option), we have to translate this expression as: “conectores PS/2 (opción de 2 conectores PS/2 compatibles)”. |
