A small Spanish to English translation.

Question

Vendores Ambulantes

Los vendedores ambulantes, hombres, mujeres y niños, llenan las calles de las principales ciudades latinoamericanas. Ofrecen todo tipo de productos, alimentos, artículos de tocador importados, verduras, bebidas gaseosas, etc. El desemplo y la pobreza obligan a muchos a trabajar horas y horas voceando sus productos. Son parte del sector informal de la economía.

Answer 2

Hello and Welcome to the SpanishDict forum.

Great translation. I cannot see any major mistakes in your Spanish ---> English translation but a few small mistakes.

I agree with sabor that **''hawking their goods'' **would be better than shouting their goods You could even use the word promoting but hawking does sound more natural and certainly more interesting in this context. So I recommend these corrections:

The unemployment and poverty force many to work hours and hours hawking their products.

typo/spelling mistake: vegetables

Please could you make your requests a little more clear/obvious in future like ''Could you help me with a translation, please?'' Thanks

I hope this helps
