French to German: Pinocchio - Belgian non-profit organization for burned children (translation project of Institut Libre Marie Haps) General field: Medical
Source text - French La brûlure est recouverte de gazes mélangées à de la Flammazine. Puis on protège cette couche avec des bandes "Velpeau" et des collants pour tout tenir en place. Cette première phase permet de séparer les cellules mortes des cellules saines. La partie brûlée change de couleur après quelques jours.
Translation - German Die Verbrennung wird mit einer Mullbinde verbunden, unter die Flammazine-Salbe gemischt wird. Danach wird diese Schicht mit einem „Velpeau"-Verband und mit Stützstrümpfen geschützt, um alles zu fixieren. In dieser ersten Phase können die toten Zellen von den gesunden getrennt werden. Nach einigen Tagen verändert sich die Farbe an der verbrannten Stelle.

Source text - English Native Instruments Komplete Elements Software
Packing a comprehensive selection of production-ready sounds and effects, this is the perfect introduction to the world of Komplete. This Komplete Elements collection delivers a wide range of studio quality tools at unbeatable value and is infinitely expandable with the ever-growing range of Komplete instruments and effects. The Native Instruments Komplete Elements contains over 3 GB of material with over 1000 sounds, all carefully compiled to provide a strong toolkit for the widest possible range of production tasks. There are acoustic drums, electronic beats, orchestral strings and a wide range of synthesizers. Plus guitar amp simulation and an array of creative studio effects (a fully equipped and ready-to-roll production suite). Additionally, The Native Instruments Komplete Elements contains an incredibly detailed string section from the Vienna Symphonic library, along with an expressive brass ensemble and a selection of exotic sounds from around the world, including tablas, kalimba and steel drums. For pop and rock, there's a comprehensive selection of instruments straight out of the practice room, including upright piano, organs, bass, horns and drum kits. The jewel in the crown is perhaps the vintage 60s Gretsch drum kit, beautifully recorded at Abbey Road's world famous Studio Two.
