Do you think there might be another way to translate "con todo"? It doesn't really make sense in English the way it is. | | |
8 October 2008 05:50 | | | "Con todo" literally is "with everything". Several English idioms are possible, and the most likely one is "anyway". However, to me the Spanish is a bit awkward (as if written by an American English speaker!) and I translated "con todo" literally to preserve that awkwardness, to be faithful to the original. | | |
8 October 2008 05:58 | | | Ah - thanks for the explanation. I also thought it probably meant "anyway" here. My proposed solution: Change it to "anyway" and put a note underneath the translation to the effect that it seems to be a bit of a word-for-word translation from English. |
