          I assume you have already taken a look at a bilingual dictionary such as WordReference. The problem with struggle is that it doesn't coincide exactly with any of its Spanish translations. In your examples one can distinguish several core meanings:




          1. The meaning of fighting, battling, engaging in some kind of militant effort. This can be translated with the Spanish lucha (f.) or luchar.


            • "We're part of the struggle" = Somos parte de la lucha

            • "The struggle is real" = La lucha es real



          2. The meaning of striving against difficulties, so far unsuccessfully. This one can be translated with luchar but also with costar or some periphrasis involving the idea of difficulty:


            • "I'm struggling to make ends meet" = Estoy luchando por llegar a fin de mes (lit. "struggling to come to the last day of the month", i.e. "struggling to keep some money until next payday"); or else

            • "I'm struggling to make ends meet" = Me está costando llegar a fin de mes

            • "I'm struggling financially" = Estoy teniendo dificultades financieras; or maybe

            • "I'm struggling financially" = Estoy financieramente en problemas




          Note the particular grammar pattern of costar, similar to that of gustar:




          • "I struggle to do X" = Me cuesta hacer X

          • "X is a real struggle" = X me cuesta mucho

            That's a very thorough explanation, quite a mouthful, I've been asked what the translation struggle is several times, but judging y you explanation, I think it all comes down to context.

          • @PacoLopez - So true! // Short answer: for the most part it boils down to two cases: (1) some organized movement --> luchar / lucha and (2) some personal situation --> me está costando trabajo ... / se me está dificultando ... [pagar la renta].

          • Great answer! Just one note about "Estoy complicado financieramente". It doesn't sound idiomatic, at least in Spain. The meaning for "complicado" that appears in the DRAE doesn't seem to fit. dle.rae.es/?id=A1i78mC Something or someone is "complicado" if it's hard to understand that something/someone. "My finances are hard to understand"="I'm struggling financially"?

            @RubioRic You're right about the DRAE. I'll see if I can rephrase. The expression is idiomatic, though, in my dialect, so I employed it without thinking (estar complicado ~ tener problemas).

          @RubioRic You're right about the DRAE. I'll see if I can rephrase. The expression is idiomatic, though, in my dialect, so I employed it without thinking (estar complicado ~ tener problemas).

          Well, I don't mean that you have to remove or rephrase it. You can just indicate that it's an Argentinian expression.

          Tabula Rosettana

          Image
          Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...

          How to label and detect the document text images

          Image
          1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
