Swedish to English: Skäggolja/Beard oil General field: Other Detailed field: Cosmetics, Beauty
Source text - Swedish Den som inte tar hand om sitt skägg och tvättar det regelbundet, kommer inom kort att få uppleva rynkade näsor och en och annan gliring om att kransen på din haka inte direkt luktar hallontårta. Då utbudet av skäggoljor erbjuder både starka och lite lättare dofter i alla olika nyanser, är det egentligen bara en tidsfråga (okej, även en ekonomisk fråga) innan du hittar en egen favorit.
Translation - English Those who don't care for their beards and wash regularly will quickly have the experience of seeing wrinkled noses and the occasional remark that your facial hair doesn't exactly smell like sweet pastries. Since the selection of beard oils offers both stronger and lighter scents in all forms, it's really only a matter of time (okay, also a matter of money) before you find a favourite of your own.
English to Swedish: Neil Gaiman - the power of fiction General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English If you were trapped in an impossible situation, in an unpleasant place, with people who meant you ill, and someone offered you a temporary escape, why wouldn't you take it? And escapist fiction is just that: fiction that opens a door, shows the sunlight outside, gives you a place to go where you are in control, are with people you want to be with (and books are real places, make no mistake about that); and more importantly, during your escape, books can also give you knowledge about the world and your predicament, give you weapons, give you armor: real things you can take back into your prison. Skills and knowledge and tools you can use to escape for real.
Translation - Swedish Om du var fast i en omöjlig situation, på en obehaglig plats, med folk som ville dig illa, och någon erbjöd dig ett sätt att tillfälligt fly, varför skulle du inte ta det? Och eskapist-fiktion är just det: påhittade historier som öppnar en dörr, visar solljuset utanför, och ger dig någonstans att ta vägen där du har kontroll, där du kan vara med människor du vill vara med (och böcker är verkliga platser, tro inget annat); och ännu viktigare, under din tillflykt så kan böcker också ge dig kunskap om världen och din situation, ge dig vapen, ge dig en rustning: verkliga saker som du kan ta tillbaka med dig in i ditt fängelse. Färdigheter och kunskap och redskap som du kan använda för att fly på riktigt.
English to Swedish: LGBTA stereotyping (HBTA) General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - English Studies show that people who identify as LGBTA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual, and Asexual) have higher levels of stress and experiences of psychological distress, in very large part due to the discrimination and prejudice that accompanies a stigmatized social status. Since same-sex attractions and romantic relationships are marginalized in most cultures, stigma is a universal feature of gay, lesbian, and bisexual lives. Therefore, showing an LGBTA character for any other reason than making it about their sexuality is a rarity―the sexual orientation itself is considered a big enough issue to focus on―and representation for this group is in turn, somewhat negatively, affected. Furthermore, an asexual character is often portrayed as something of an emotionless robot, often either due to, or because of, their asexuality, when in reality, this is very rarely the case. Those who identify as asexual generally don't differ from anyone else in anything but their level of sexual interest (or, more accurately, their lack thereof)
Translation - Swedish Studier visar att människor som identifierar sig som HBTA (Homosexuell, Bisexuell, Trans, och Asexuell) har högre nivåer av stress och upplevd psykologisk oro, vilket till stor del beror på diskriminationen och fördomarna som medföljer en stigmatiserad social status. Eftersom samkönade attraktioner och förhållanden är marginaliserade i de flesta kulturer, så är stigma en universell aspekt av homo- och bisexuellas liv. Därmed är det sällsynt att visa en HBTA-karaktär av någon annan anledning än att betona dess sexualitet―den sexuella läggningen i sig anses vara ett stort nog ämne att fokusera på―och representationen för denna grupp är på så sätt, till viss del negativt, påverkad. Dessutom visas ofta en asexuell karaktär som en slags känslolös robot, ofta antingen som en effekt av, eller på grund av, dess asexualitet, när detta väldigt sällan är fallet i verkligheten. De som identifierar sig som asexuella skiljer sig generellt inte från någon annan, utöver deras nivå av sexuellt intresse (eller, snarare bristen på sådant intresse).
