First translation
Hello there,
Kind of a newbie here, im trying to translate an article from english to spanish related to teeth whitening.. i know its not perfect but I need to know if it reads well. thanks for any help! here is the beginning of the article : English : Teeth whitening is the process of bleaching your teeth in order to make them whiter. Most likely you’ve noticed the various ads for teeth whitening products bombarding us everywhere. “If your teeth are whiter, you look better” is the message that these advertisements send. Teeth whitening is a big business - close to 2 billion dollars this year alone and will only get bigger as the time goes by. It seems as though good looks and a great smile is becoming ever more expected and important in our society. Celebrities are spending thousands of dollars to create the perfect smile using cosmetic dentistry procedures. But it's now moving on to mainstream America for the need and to have a whiter and bright smile. It's much more accessible to find teeth whitening products over the counter at your general store whether it is whitening toothpaste, teeth whitening gels or teeth whitening strips. But before we get into that, what is teeth whitening? Spanish translation attempt : El blanqueamiento dental es el proceso de aclarar tus dientes para hacerlos más blancos. Probablemente has notado una variedad de avisos publicitarios sobre productos de blanqueamiento dental bombardeándonos por todos lados. “Si tus dientes son mas blancos, te ves mejor” es el mensaje que estas publicidades envían. El blanqueamiento dental es un gran negocio – cerca de 2 billones de dólares solo este año y crecerá a medida que pase el tiempo. Parece ser que la buena apariencia y una gran sonrisa se están convirtiendo en algo más esperado e importante en nuestra sociedad. Las celebridades están gastando miles de dólares en crear la sonrisa perfecta usando procedimientos cosméticos dentales. Pero ahora se está trasladando principalmente a América por las necesidades y por tener una sonrisa más blanca y más brillante. Es mucho más accesible encontrar productos de blanqueamiento dental sobre la mesa en su tienda local ya sea la pasta dental blanqueadora, geles de blanqueamiento dental o tiras de blanqueamiento dental. Pero antes de que hablemos de eso, que es el blanqueamiento dental? |

I marked up your English so that those who are trying to learn the language won't be confused by your lack of proper capitalization and punctuation (including the contractions). You correctly capitalized 'English' and 'Spanish' later on, and the article was better punctuated, although not entirely without error. Your Spanish translation was readable, but perhaps a little too literal. You've already learned, I would guess, that a word-for-word translation seldom works. Along the same vein, if your translations are too literal, they won't generally sound like Spanish. There were a few misspelled words in poli's corrections and wording that deviated from the original. Perhaps he was trying to address a different audience. I would do the same thing, especially if your audience doesn't live in America! Quote:
