Si l'on dit: «La Terumah de cette pile est en lui», ou «ses dîmes y sont», ou «le Terumat Ma'aser [une partie des dîmes qui sont données au prêtre] est en lui, »Le rabbin Shimon dit: il l'a [ainsi] désigné [comme Terumah , dîmes ou Terumat Ma'aser ]. Mais les Sages disent: pas à moins qu'il ne dise: "C'est au nord ou au sud de celui-ci." Le rabbin Elazar Chisma dit: si l'on dit: «La Terumah de cette pile lui est enlevée», il l'a [ainsi] désignée. Le rabbin Eliezer ben Yaakov dit: si l'on dit: «La dixième partie de cette dîme est transformée en Terumat Ma'aser pour cela», il l'a [ainsi] désignée.
Bartenura on Mishnah Terumot
קרא שם – and he must separate the heave-offering and to tithe from within it., but he is not able to separate [tithes] from another place. And even though the All-Merciful called the Terumah/heave offering "ראשית"/”the first” and we require that its remnants are recognized, for since he said, “within it,” it implies, in the middle of the pile will be the heave-offering, but there is surrounding it which is its remnants that are recognized.

Bartenura on Mishnah Terumot
עד שיאמר בצפונו או בדרומו – even though “within it” implies in its middle, it is not a specific place, and it is as if he did not say anything until he would say, in its northern portion or in its southern portion, and this is the Halakha.

English Explanation of Mishnah Terumot
If one says: “The terumah of this pile is within it,” or, “its tithes are within it,” or, “the terumah of tithe [terumat maaser] is within it:” Rabbi Shimon says: he has thereby designated it. But the sages say: not unless he said, “It is in the north or south of it.” According to Rabbi Shimon, if one says that the terumah, tithes or terumah taken from tithes [terumat maaser] is in a pile of produce but does not actually point out where in the pile the terumah, tithes or terumat maaser are, he has successfully designated them and the pile is no longer untithed produce. He can eat from the pile, as long at some point he removes that which he designated. The sages disagree and hold that he must set aside a place within the pile where the terumah, tithes and terumat maaser are. It is not enough just to say, “within it.”

English Explanation of Mishnah Terumot
Rabbi Elazar Hisma says: one who says, “The terumah of this pile is taken from it for it,” he has thereby designated it. Rabbi Elazar Hisma says that one doesn’t even need to say “within it.” In other words, whereas Rabbi Shimon says that he must at least designate that the terumah is within the pile, for Rabbi Elazar Hisma it is sufficient just to say that one has set aside terumah for a given pile of produce.

Bartenura on Mishnah Terumot
עשור מעשר זה וכו' – Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov disputes on Rabbi Shimon who stated that this Terumah of the tithe (which the Levite to a Kohen) is within the pile that he validly designated, but after the tithe is separated, if he stated that the Terumah of the tithe is for it, he has validly designated it. But the Halakha is not like any of them, other than the Sages alone.

English Explanation of Mishnah Terumot
Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov says: one who says, “The tenth part of this tithe is terumah of tithe for that pile,” he has thereby designated it. Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov agrees with Rabbi Elazar Hisma and says that the same is true when it comes to separating terumat maaser from tithe. He need not say “within it” as long as he says he is separating it, he has successfully designated it.
