Answer 2

HI dugu, can we have a complete sentence?

If this were like:

I travelled half way around the world.

the best translation :

Viajé por medio mundo.

However, we need context. The answers by Jorge and rocky are not correct-

Answer 3

I would say "del otro lado del planeta". That's the way we would say it in Argentina.

pero eso no es la misma cosa creo yo xDDDDD - culé, Jul 27, 2010

Sí lo es, y ahora que sabemos el contexto, es una opción correcta. - 00e657d4, Jul 27, 2010

Answer 4

In my opinion: Al medio otro lado del mundo or

La mitad de camino a través del mundo

Yep, that sounds a little more commonly used, and seems to make more sense. - rockdown667, Jul 27, 2010

Answer 5

Al medio de la distancia del mundo?

I'm not sure if that is the BEST way to say it, but it gets the point accross.

Answer 6

al otro lado del mundo - on the other side of the world. That's how we say it in Mexico.

Answer 7

The Spanish Dictionary translators all say: En el otro lado del mundo.

Answer 8

Sure , it's a famous quote from the movie Butterfly Effect

" It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world. "
