Translation - Romanian-English - La Mandragora are restaurantul deschis ÅŸi la

Hi Oana,

I guess you translated this "advertisement" quite textually. However to read more natural in English I'd make some changes in style.

For the first line:
"“La Mandragora” has the restaurant opened at noon as well from Monday to Friday, from 12:00 to 15:00"

I'd say:

"'La Mandragora' now keeps its restaurant opened for lunch as well, from Monday to Friday, from noon to 15:00".
I suppose 'La Mandragora' is not just a restaurant, but a establishment which has also a restaurant, perhaps a hotel...

"à la wok" should be in inverted commas for being a foreign expression. An option would be: "prepared/made in a wok", but that would not sound as stylish.

What do you think?

Hi. Your suggestions were useful, thank you. In the first part I didn't add "now" because the text in Romanian doesn't include it, not even the suggests, even though it sounds more natural with "now". If I add "now" it changes a liitle bit the meaning and I am not sure it is ok. Let me ask the requester, ok?

Draga Ioanahoney, spune-mi te rog daca vrei sa modific in traducere propozitia "La Mandragora are restaurantul deschis şi la prânz" in "La Mandragora acum are restaurantul deschis şi la prânz". In engleza suna mai natural, ce zici?

multumesc frumos!
doar voiam sa ma verific.
si, intr-adevar ai dreptate. suna mult mai bine in engleza asa cum ai zis tu.
am ajustat putin textul in limba romana si uite ce a iesit:
"We invite you to lunch!
"La Mandragora" Restaurant is now open for lunch
from 12:00 till 15:00, Monday to Friday.
Fresh salads, fresh fish and wok-cooked vegetables!
The kitchen is open from 6.30 PM till 11.00 PM and the bar
untill the last client.
See you for lunch and dinner at "La Mandragora".
multumesc inca o data!

loanahoney said that is better to add the "now".

Draga loanahoney, chiar si in a doua traducere mi se pare ca ai cateva greseli, cred ca ar fi mai bine sa il postezi pentru traducere, il va traduce cineva si tu poti confrunta cu traducerea ta. Salutari, pa pa

Dear Lilian, the text in English that you can see in the requester's message is not the translation of the original text. She is trying a better spot text for that restaurant. I suggested her she should post it again because it seems to me there are some mistakes.

Oana, she'd better edit the original request as she wishes instead of submitting a new request, or all your work (and mine) with this translation will be lost.

I think she is has not made up her mind about the text in Romanian. She says that she agrees with our version in English and she created another text. Anyway she speaks English and she can see your suggestion about editting the text

Loanahoney, de fapt Lilian spune sa nu mai postezi alt text ci sa il modifici pe acesta, apoi vom schimba si noi traducerea in functie asta. Pa pa, noapte buna

je ne sais pas trop pour l'anglais aussi je met la traduction en français!

Nous vous invitons à déjeuner

Nous vous attendons(pour déjeuner et pour dîner/souper) au Mandragore

Hi everybody,

The translation looks fine to me!

I only have one observation: Asiatic cuisine is not necessarily Chinese.... (could be Japanese, Thai, Indian etc. as well)

Of course, Azitrad, you are absolutely right. Thank you

'wok'-ul e cratiţa aceea în care se găteşte mâncarea tradiţional asiatică...nu ştiu dacă este chiar bine spus "à la wok", aşa sună a fel de mâncare, ca "salată à la grecque" (cred că aşa se scrie...)
ÃŽn rest e bine tradus.

sugestii pentru "legume la wok"?

"wok-cooked" looks fine to me!

yes, I think it's ok like this, thank you
