Need help translating the following....

Question

Relevamiento & nucleados....they are part of the following sentence -
Relevamiento de los comercios nucleados en CAME (Confederación Argentinsa de la Mediana Empresa.

Thank you for your help!
Isabel

Answer 1

"Nucleados" in this context is a very common word in Argentina, but it's difficult to translate it into english. Since my native language is spanish I have some doubts about what word is best for this context. I thought "member" or as you said "affiliate with" ... Is there any difference in meaning between these two words'

Answer 2

As James said I don't think that núcleados can be used in formal spanish, Asociados, afiliados, in a Confederación, Unión, Asociación, are a common term used in this context, where the members or businesses have a common abjective.

Answer 3

Actually, we would never use the word nucleate in this context. I assumed it was a Spanish term, and thought it was kind of charming. It isn't from English.

Answer 4

Attending to the James definition for "nucleados" and after the CAME mean, the spanish word must be "Afiliados", nucleados seems as anglisismo or barbarismo in spanish.

Answer 5

Hi Benz - No I am not from Argentina. We plan to move there part time within the next 2 years to take in some really great motorcycle riding. Currently, I am trying to learn as much about the country/economy by reading some newspapers -- which is proving to be difficult as I am a beginner to Spanish.

Thank you for your input. Isabel.

Answer 6

Motley, nucleate would make no sense in this context. Nucleado here means that the businesses are clumped together (like a nucleus) in an organization. That is, they belong to the group.

Answer 7

relevamiento = survey
nucleado = nucleate

Answer 8

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Please, post your word/words in the title of the discussion the next time!

Answer 9

I agree with James. It's a survey of the member shops/stores belonging to CAME
and CAME is The Argentine Confederation of Medium-Sized Enterprises

Are you from Argentina Isabel'

Answer 10

Relevamiento seems to mean survey in this context, although dictionaries don't give that meaning. So, this is a survey of the businesses that belong to CAME.
