Översättning - Brasiliansk portugisiska-Engelska - Eu me sinto completamente vazio quando voce está longe de mim

Thais,
The norwegian origin is not saying:
" I feel completely empty when you are far from me."

It's just: "...when you are away from me"

Maybe ? you could not write like that in english, maybe you have to put it just like you did...just a thought

It's because she translated literaly from portuguese, where you have to say "far" in order to get the meaning of absense.
The expert must change it (and Thais should try not make literal translations).

Ok...I understand, thanks for telling!

Mmm... Ok. Sorry... I didn't know the meaning of the norwegian phrase.

So why was your translation rejected, Pia?

No...don't feel sorry, I didn't mean to be cruel or something...it was just a thought. Of course you didn't know the Norwegian..
I can see that you did your translation from portuguese..and I'm sure you did it right.

I don't know why mine was rejected, maybe because of bad english. ...as usual, maybe I should just do english-Swedish, but it's fun you know, to try to get it right.
