I don't want to use "para acoger" to say "to host"...what else can I use?

Question

Los planes para Asambleas de Área deben comenzar inmediatamente después de recibir la aprobación de el Coordinador de Área para acoger la Asamblea de Area.

Answer 1

Why don't you try "recibir"? That's another word for "acoger". Or - if it's active hosting, such as a presentation, you could use "presentar".

• Would it sound proper enough to use in a Service Manual I am translating? It will be printed for over 200 spanish speaking members who will be encouraged to "HOST" a convention. - WITCHBELLA Oct 20, 2009
• The closes thing I found that I might use is el anfitrión...Can you say Anfitrionar? Is that a word? LOL - WITCHBELLA Oct 20, 2009

Answer 2

are you saying "...immediately after getting the approval of the Area Coordinator to host the Area Assemblies"? If so, maybe you could try: "...inmediatamente después de conseguir la aprobación del Coordinador de Area para recibir las A de A". (or use "presentar las A de A" if you mean "host" in the sense of a presentation, like "hosting a show".)

Answer 3

I think the best might be presidir.
