"elevada altura" in English

Question

I am translating a text from Spanish to English and I am having some major issues. I have been at it for quite some time, and now I am translating sentences and they just don´t make sense or sound super awkward.

I am trying to translate this to English:

Ventajas estructurales: mediante esta estructura se consiguen elevadas alturas de pantalla y con ello una mayor absorción acústica.

The translation doesn´t have to be super exact (word-for-word). I just want to say that these have the structural advantage of being able to be built tall. But see how the awkwardness kicks in with the wording?

There just isn´t a simple way to say this in English that sounds somewhat formal.

Or, how about: "These structures can be built tall for better noise absorption."

Does that sound okay?

Answer 1

How about:

This structure permits construction of taller screens which have better sound absorption properties

Great! Thanks! - missy8888, Apr 11, 2012
