Re: [ET2] Re: EmoTrance Primer In Spanish!

Hi, Alex and Helen and everyone. This is bilingual Diane from St Louis, USA.

 I've looked at Lucia's translation of the intro to Emo Trance, though not in full depth yet, but it looks to be very good. The tricky thing with translations is that sometimes you have to forgo the literal translation (exact words) to capture the meaning. She's done a lovely job, however I think it would be good to have a few opinions in terms of the best words to use for terms like "even flow", and "soften, flow and release". Lucia choice of words seems to be good and generic (in terms of Spanish speaking worlds, where not all terms are interchangeable, even though they're still Spanish... like English language and others). Still, I might tweak some words a bit. What I'd like to do is print it (my printer is down) and show it to some other people over time, to see if we're capturing the full message, if you all are in agreement. As a beginning, VERY workable document, it serves the Emo Trance world well! The rest will be fine-tuning.

I am grateful to you all for moving forward with this, as I am traveling to Peru (where I was reared) in October, and hoped to introduce Emotrance to some colleagues and friends... and now I have a translation to show them!

I assume, Alex, there is nobody there yet doing the work?

I would have to look at the other version too, my time is limited right now, and it IS time-consuming work, which is why I appreciate the work you all have put in so far, but perhaps it will be helpful to compare those special terms, coming from different, "innocent" places and minds ...

More later then...
Namaste...

Adios, amigos!~

Diane

 My Spanish isn't good enough to really know-it seems good. It would
 be great to possibly have another bilingual person look at Lucia's
 translation (or at both translations), and see if there are any
 changes needed. I'm not qualified for that fine-level tuning. Helen
