In the original Spanish it's pretty clear they had found some "unexpected" hell of a turbulence they tried to fight with basically no success. It is also a bit more clear they perhaps they weren't too sure how to overcome the situation as they didn't have that much experience in the particular type, as reported by the investigation authorities that analyzed the CVR and FDR.
