I suppose you can, and that would place the terms in the right category in the glossaries, but it wouldn't solve the problem of introducing a bias in the distribution of translators in the directory according to speciality/work field.
Lisa McCarthy (asker) May 13, 2010:
I can change the category when I enter the term in the glossary I think.
traductorchile May 13, 2010:
I would have put it under International Organizations/Development/Cooperation, although there are other options like Government/Politics
Lisa McCarthy (asker) May 13, 2010:
Hi Yes, you´re right, but I couldn´t find any category to match my text, and as it's about observing migratory birds I put it under Zoology. Any recommendation for a more suitable category would be welcome. :)
traductorchile May 13, 2010:
Dear Lisa you have posted various questions in Zoology although they have nothing to do with zoology. I suggest you change the category the so you can receive better feedback. I understand one must contact a moderator.

Volunteer work

In the title, that's all it means.

Within the text, "de campo" refers to field work: volunteers for field work, field studies by volunteers.

Spanish term (edited): estudio en campo de voluntariado

volunteer team field study

I see it as two phrases:

"estudio en campo" = 'field study'
"de voluntariado" = 'using a volunteer team'
