magazine publication vocab

Question

Hi! I´m finishing a translation for an equestrian magazine website and I'm having a devil of a time finding the English translation for the following words regarding the mechanical measurements stipulated for the delivery of publicity material (advertisements to be included each edition):

Medidas mecánicas:

Tamaño Final: 23.5 x 32 cm.
Tamaño a caja: 21.5 x 30 cm.
Tamaño rebasado: 24.5 x 33 cm.
Doble página: 47 x 32 cm.
Doble página a caja: 45 x 30 cm.
Doble página rebasada: 48 x 33 cm.

I would greatly appreciate any help you could provide.

You're welcome! I always need help with translating little things here and there so I may take you up on that sometime. Te cuidas! Erin

Thank you! I was so excited to be able to answer a question for once.

Answer 3

Hey Erin!! You're a real lifesaver!!! Thank you so much! I had looked for what seemed like forever and the idea of a forum was my last resort. So glad you read my request. I have a degree in Spanish and have lived in Mexico City for 15 years. If I can ever give you a hand with anything, pls just let me know!!

Thanks again!
Elizabeth

Jesus, Erin, that's a real masterpiece!

Answer 5

Dear Elizabeth,

I think I can lend a hand on this one - even though I'm an intermediate Spanish student, I work for a publishing company so magazine lingo and specs are very much my level of expertise.

"ADVERTISING SPECS" (Advertising Specifications) is typically what's used for "Medidas Mecánicas"

Tamaño Final would be called "Final Trim Size"
Tamaño a Caja would be called "Live Area"
Tamaño Rebasado: would be called "Bleed"

Doble Página: You can use a couple different terms "2-page spread" will be the safest but "Double Truck" is also correct.

Doble Página: 2-Page Spread Final Trim Size
Doble Página a Caja: 2-Page Spread Live Area
Doble Página Rebasada: 2-Page Spread Bleed

Hope this helps! Erin
