I've been reading BBC Mundo, and came across this phrase, which I don't understand:
dados a conocer
For context:
Nuevos cables diplomáticos de Estados Unidos dados a conocer a través del sitio de filtraciones en internet WikiLeaks

Yes, *made public* would be better. - Sabor, Dec 26, 2010
i also saw this phase in a site, and it means " publicise". - EricLin, Dec 29, 2011

Well it is from 'dar' so you could say 'came to be known' or 'given to knowledge' - you know - the L E A K S!

'dar a conocer' = 'bring to light' - margaretbl, Dec 26, 2010

Yes, but "give to be known" is so clunky -- is "made public" a better translation?

If you are translating that then something like 'brought to light by the Wiki leaks' .... - margaretbl, Dec 26, 2010
I think 'made public' is right - xentuk, Dec 26, 2010
