Hi,
From time to time and especially today I need to get marketing messages and ad copy translated into Spanish, only to find that it is not as easy as you would think if you've never tried it.
For example today I am trying to a simple confirmation letter for a timeshare compaign and I am stuck on phrases like "old fashioned hospitality" and "Open House"
or how 'bout this whopper:
"you are also going to receive two tickets to Arabian Nights dinner show, the show that brings a fairy tale to life on horseback"
I cannot come up with anything that makes sense in Spanish, and the locals who have tried their hand at it have not been able to come up with anything intelligible in Spanish.
They are simply not able to grasp US market-speak and come up with a reasonable Spanish equivelant.
Is anyone aware of a professional service that does this kind of translation?
