inquietudes investigadoras That's the real probleme in the sentence
Non-ProZ.com Jun 13, 2005:
thank you again Jessica As I say you are really kind.
jrb Jun 13, 2005:
But if you read the Kudoz rules, you will see it is clear. You can ask about your specific doubt and put the whole phrase below so people can see the context; but not ask for a translation of the whole phrase, this isn't a free translation service.
Non-ProZ.com Jun 13, 2005:
Thank you Jessica Thank you Jessica it's very kind of you.
No one else has complaint.
I'm sorry but I can afford paying yhe job, I'm asking for a grant to study, so I'm doing it myself and I post my translation doubts. When I just put a word the translators told me that it's not enough??? I can't understand...
jrb Jun 13, 2005:
> 10 words (again). Sorry, but these are not translation doubts here; these are requests to translate whole phrases. Maybe you should consider submitting your application as a job?

No veo problema alguno con \"inquietudes investigadoras\". En los ejemplos siguientes se habla de \"fomentar\" e \"incentivar\", lo que da a entender que las \"inquietudes\" no son algo negativo como \"worries\" o \"concerns\":

Mi respuesta está respaldada por la definición del DRAE y por varias citas donce la palabra se usa en un contexto similar al tuyo. Estas \"inquietudes\" no son otra cosa que intereses e inclinaciones, no preocupaciones ni angustias.
Si aun tienes dudas, pues no sé que más decirte.
Buena suerte.

yes they are, read above., how to know what is meant? It could mean she felt she didn't have enough training etc
disagree Marcelo González : I agree with George. In this context, the person is not worried, but rather interested/curious (in a purely intelectual sense) :-)

inquietudes investigadoras = research questions (instead of doubts/uncertainties [despite the 350 google hits for the latter)

Con el perdón de George y Gabriel: It\'s not merely his interest in research in general, but rather his (particular) research interests--an agenda/line of inquiry that he\'s interested in pursuing, which may even be required for admission into some (if not most) Ph.D. programs (in the US). :-)
