Traduzione - Spagnolo-Greco - Ave Maria

OK, I think that does it for "Ave Maria". Any comments anyone? I just want to note that I added the "editor" bit 'cause if the requester has any questions it would be best to ask me and not dimitrisbirg.

I don't understand. If the Virgin Mary is never called "Saint Mary", why does the prayer begin with "Ἁγία Μαρία"?

Am I the only one to see squares in the dimitrisbirg translation ?

I don't see squares, but I see very strange carachters, that don't seem Greek, like ὐμῶν τῶ...

I don't see squares, jp.
Nava, the letters in you message look normal Greek to me (the ones whit diacritics are smaller).

a) Didn't I ask whether I should do a verbatim translation and ppl said yes? If not why not start with the "Θεοτόκος" and all. Remember this is NOT a Greek prayer. That's why there's Hagia Maria there and not Panagia. Panagia does NOT mean Saint Maria. In the non-Greek text Virgin Mary is called Saint Mary. She is NOT called All holy Mary, Theotokos (she who gave birth to God) nor with any of the other appelations we use for her.
I copy/pasted most of the text so it's not exactly verbatim but if you want an all Greek text like we have it in our Bible check the link of the wiki. That's all there is. The rest is additions of the Catholic church as far as I know.

b) The squares are the Greek letters with ancient Greek diacritics. I use the polytonic keyboard of the Windows XP and this is how they come out.
ὐμῶν τῶ for example would look like υμών τω in modern Greek.


c) Fell free to edit it anyway you want (just leave dimitrisbirg original -edited- translation as is on the notes; that's only fair I think) and tell me when to accept it.

a) I think irini's explanation above covers the problem with "Saint Mary".

b) I don't see squares.

c) I don't think it needs any more editing.
