Correcting a previous negative
► When but or but rather introduces a noun phrase, prepositional phrase or verb in the infinitive which corrects a previous negative, translate but using sino:
Not wine, but vinegar No vino, sino vinagre
They aren't from Seville, but from Bilbao No son de Sevilla, sino de Bilbao
His trip to London was not to investigate the case but to hush it up Su viaje a Londres no fue para investigar el caso sino para taparlo ► When but or but rather introduces a verb clause (or requires a verb clause in Spanish) which corrects a previous negative, translate using sino que:
He's not asking you to do what he says but (rather) to listen to him No te pide que hagas lo que él dice, sino que le escuches
Not only... but also
► When the but also part of this construction contains ((subject)) + ((verb)), translate using no solo or no sólo or no solamente... sino que también or sino que además:
It will not only cause tension, but it will also damage the economy No solo or No sólo or No solamente provocará tensiones, sino que además or sino que también dañará la economía ► When the but also part does not contain ((subject)) + ((verb)), translate using no solo or no sólo or no solamente... sino también or sino además:

"стало накрапывать - ожидай ливня"; ≈ пришла беда - отворяй ворота, беда не приходит одна

It was difficult for him to forget that his wife had quarrelled with him, but he hardened his heart and did his best to forget. Unfortunately - as he knew only too well, for he had said it often enough - it never rains but it pours. This treacherous Saturday was destined to give him a series of shocks, of varying degrees of severity. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. IX) — Сегодня мистеру Смиту трудно было забыть, что он в ссоре с женой, но он старался быть твердым и не думать об этом. Однако беда не приходит одна, - он это знал очень хорошо, поскольку часто повторял эту истину. И в эту предательскую субботу ему суждено было испытать ряд неожиданных ударов, более или менее жестоких.
