basim Çok agriyo ona ragmen aynen devam ediyorum...
Text
Submitted by cansina
Source language: Turkish

Başım çok ağrıyor. Buna rağmen aynen devam ediyorum. İşten de ayrılamıyorum bu hafta çünkü kadroda eksik var. Bu aralar bayağı bir gerginim. Yanlış yerde dünyaya geldiğimden şüpheleniyorum, her şey üstüme üstüme geliyor.

Title
I have a bad headache
Translation
English

Translated by Çevirmen
Target language: English

I have a bad headache. Apart from that, everything is the same as usual. I cannot leave work this week since it is short-staffed. I am so nervous these days. I suspect that I was born in the wrong place, everything just happens to me.
Remarks about the translation
I added some punctuation marks to make this clear.

@Lein;

instead of "apart from this", "although this" would be better.

@merdogan;
squad are missing cannot be said since it is not said that all employees are missing, it is said that number of staffs are incomplete.

I may be wrong, but I think "although" is followed by a verb usually. But I'm like you, I'm not native and I can't assume it.

hey Francky,

You are absolutely right, I have research it, let me explain :

although sentence, sentence ..

if you use a word after "although", "despite" is better.

despite word (or a sentence) , sentence.

Finally, "apart from this" is ok but "despite this" is better.

Thanks Francky.

I think it would sound better:

"I have a bad headache. Except for that, everything is the same as usual"

Does it convey the meaning? (I don't know Turkish so I'm just trying to help with the English )

Hi Lilian, it is nice to see you here=)

in the source text,it should be tried to say, "although I have a bad headache, everything is same as usual" that's way, bad headache did not change anything in her life so "this" refers to bad headache..

This syntax would be more natural in English, and again "except" fits perfectly.

"Except for a bad headache (I have), everything is (the same) as usual"

Anyway, Lein knows best.

My interest on this translation is due to the requested version into Spanish I will do/ have to evaluate

For both 'although' and 'despite', I think you would get the idea that the headache was expected to make a difference, or change something.
('Although she has been to Spain, she is still as pale as ever': usually, you would expect people to get a tan in Spain.)

This doesn't sound very logical - in English, I think we would usually assume a headache can be very annoying, but won't really change anything in your life. I think that is conveyed best by either 'except' or 'apart from'.

Most people seem to agree with this translation anyway, so I'll validate. Thanks all!
