Discussion

David Brown Sep 13, 2013:
Carer vs Caregiver In my experience, I would use "caregiver", using "carer" in US English may be a problem for some of the audience, but using "caregiver" for a UK audience would be no problem in understanding what is being said.
Cinnamon Nolan Sep 12, 2013:
Totally agree with Charles. Normally I put both options, but I posted in a rush...
US vs UK makes a really big difference sometimes.
Charles Davis Sep 12, 2013:
If those posting peer comments do not take the differences between varieties of English into account, the number of agreements turns into a lottery; it depends on how many Brits and how many Americans happen to turn up. This seems to me unfortunate.
Charles Davis Sep 12, 2013:
@ grachu En este caso, es absolutamente esencial saber si la traducción debe estar en inglés americano o en inglés británico. De momento, tenemos dos respuestas correctas en inglés americano pero no en inglés británico y una correcta en inglés británico pero no en inglés americano (o por lo menos no usual). Los "agrees" y "disagrees", por tanto, no tiene ningún valor hasta que sepamos qué variedad se requiere.

As Charles points out, my suggestion would be inappropriate in the US, and I would ask anyone who might post a Glossary entry after this posting to make clear note of the differences in usage on each side of the Atlantic for the sake of people consulting in the future.

español term (edited): cuidadores de enfermos de Alzheimer

caregivers of Alzheimer patients

Me parece la manera más natural de verter esta frase a inglés.

Alternativamente:

Those providing care for those diagnosed [suffering from] Alzheimer's Disease.
Peer comment(s):
agree Dr. Jason Faulkner : Definitely "caregivers".
12 minutos
Thank you, Jason.
disagree Andrew Bramhall : "Caregivers"? nope..."of"? ..nope...//well if there are that many then there must be more dopes about than I thought, Bobby;
14 minutos
Well, Ollie, there are 155,000 hits on Google for the exact phrase "caregivers of Alzheimers patients" many from organizations devoted to the care of such individuals. Of course, "for" also works here. "Nope"? Nopes are for dopes.
agree Charles Davis : Correct in American English.
23 minutos
Right (and, incidentally, "carers" would never be used in US English, so the target market is a crucial consideration here). Thank you, Charles.

Peer comment(s):
agree philgoddard : This is mainly US English.
6 minutos
Right Phil, and obviously not so common even there.
disagree Andrew Bramhall : Caretakers look after buildings;
14 minutos
In the UK they do - a neutral would have been a better choice. It's OK in the US.
agree Charles Davis : Correct in American English.
25 minutos
Cheers, Charles.
neutral neilmac : Same reason as Oliver. It just doesn't sound right to me, which is usually my main criterion of choice. Am not saying it's incorrect.
2 horas
Thanks, Neil. It's obviously not common, tho' still technically correct.
neutral Neil Ashby : I could put "an unpaid relative or friend who is looking after another person who has Alzheimer's disease" and it would be technically correct - but I would expect that ppl would "disagree" with it because in their opinion it's not the best answer. ;@)

Thanks, Neil. Salu2.

care workers - UK terminology

"Care work" is the task and "care workers" are those who carry ut the task in UK English.
In UK terminology "caretakers" are people who look after/maintain buildings, janitors/cleaners.
If you google "care work/workers" you'll find it is the "official" term used in describing this area of social services.
