How do you translate "smart-aleck" as in "She is such a smart-aleck, always making sarcastic remarks."

Hi and welcome to the forum. Please refrain from using vulgarity in your posts. Thanks!
Smarty or wise guy would be "un sabelotodo."

Sooo...would a girl be una sabelotodo? Hmmm. - tennismom, Jun 10, 2010
Yes! - --Mariana--, Jun 10, 2010
I was told that sabelotodo is more "know it all" ~ Is there a phrase for someone who is always making sassy or sarcastic remarks? It is a little different in english from "know it all". - Cata155, Jun 10, 2010

Given the family quality of this site, I can imagine a great number of folks choosing to ignore your question and maybe even some coming along and flagging it as spam. In the hope that you should be given the benefit of the doubt, do you mind sharing how you mean it, as in just what context?

See? like that! Marianne types faster than I do. - LateToDinner, Jun 10, 2010
The question could have been read "How do you say "wise guy" in Spanish?" Smart-A** was the original word. - --Mariana--, Jun 10, 2010
I saw the orginal question, that's why the kid gloves above. But I have seen how quickly some innocent questions have been flagged before you got there to edit them! - LateToDinner, Jun 10, 2010
And Cata returned and apologized so all is cool! Again, your help is appreciated. - LateToDinner, Jun 10, 2010
