How can we ever get people to quit asking for translations, rather than asking for help with how to correct their attempt at translating, if we keep answering threads like this? (No attempt by author). And I am as guilty as anyone of doing it.

Perhaps if the author had to spend time trying to make sense of chat speak, misspellings, improper grammar and punctuation, they would encourage others to write more legible notes. Also, we could end the hypocrisy of putting warnings in 1/2 of the questions, then freely answering the other 1/2.

Just grousing. 5 minutes from now I will be doing the same thing.

You make a good point. I don't know. I'm starting to waffle, obviously. I think it's obvious these people have no intention of learning Spanish, so asking them to try it themself won't do much good. - KevinB, Sep 30, 2010
I can understand your grouse Gfreed the problem is that we have to at least correct the Spanish or the answers they get from the translators will make no sense at all because they don't speak text talk lol :) - FELIZ77, Sep 30, 2010
Honestly on some days I just walk away from the computer and on other days I just give my usual bla bla speech. - margaretbl, Sep 30, 2010
Sorry! I am learning Spanish, but it is a slow process. This does not allow me to understand txt speak and terms used by native speakers which do not translate literally. - heleneuk2000, Oct 4, 2010

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum Helen grin

I need to make some corrections to the Spanish first.. it should probably be something like:

"Pues,bien sigo currando en el hotel hasta noviembre de momento a ver que tal y tu ¿qué tal? Un beso guapaaa xxxxx

= Well, good, I will continue working in the hotel until november for the moment let's see how it goes and you how are things with you? A kiss, lovely xxxxx

I hope this helps grin

Well, good, beautiful. I will continue working at the hotel until November, for the moment. We'll see what happens. And you, what? A kiss, beautiful.

I have to say I have never seen curando used as gerundio for working instead of trabajar it makes sense in the context but what is the infinitive Kevin, please? - FELIZ77, Sep 30, 2010
I mean currando I initially thought it came from curar to recover ,get better - FELIZ77, Sep 30, 2010
Currar. I've never heard it used in person, but apparently it's used informally. I see it in texts and e-mails. - KevinB, Sep 30, 2010
"Currar" is a colloquial way of saying "to work" in Spain, and very common in normal speech. "curro" is also the colloquial way of referring to a job, or "trabajo" - bill1111, Sep 30, 2010
Thanks Bill it obviously wasn't mentioned in my huge Oxford Spanish Dictionary so I thought the translator here wouln'dt give me the translation maybe I was wong lol - FELIZ77, Sep 30, 2010
I mean 'wouldn't' before someone corrects my English typo lol :) - FELIZ77, Sep 30, 2010
I found it in the online dictionary here but not the translator I thought it was originally a mistake in the message - FELIZ77, Sep 30, 2010
