English term
insurance
lo traduje por:
Similar al seguro de vida a término renovable anualmente y a término convertible, las pólizas de vida entera tratan de reducir el coste del seguro durante un periodo de tiempo más largo para igualarlo al coste del seguro que por el contrario aumenta.
pero seguro es insurance? como puedo evitar repetirlo dos veces?
gracias
strech out the cost es reducir el coste
muchas gracias a todos y todas

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Of course. And second time around, ' ... del mismo' will avoid the repetition Asker is worried about.

'del mismo' would certainly work, although I don't see the problem with using the term twice - the original does...

Discussion
Let's start here:
The source text does not say " ... tratan de reducir ..."; it says " ... stretch the cost ... to level out...". That means the cost is spread over a longer period in order to reduce the variations (from one year to the next) in the cost. Actually, the total cost is probably higher (not '... para iguarlo...'), but of course the source text doesn't mention that.
