I think that it is Chinese English...You know Chinese people speak a very bad English, so I suppose it is a bad translation of some word.

Hola, Dunia:
Sé que no tuviste la intención de estar descortés, pero creo que lo que has dicho es un esterotipo. Hay tantos chinos como españoles que pueden hablar y escribir el inglés casi perfectamente. Claro que hay muchos productos hechos en China que vienen con instrucciones mal escritas, pero sería mucho mejor y preciso decir "I think it was written by someone who doesn't speak English well" en vez de insinuar que todos los chinos no hablan bien el inglés.

Saludos,

Thank you Eddy, I was beginning to be desperate. I think that it is Chinese English...You know Chinese people speak a very bad English, so I suppose it is a bad translation of some word.

Hi Dunia

If you type "shaking massage" in google search as I have typed it, ie in quotations marks, you will get numerous web sites. I think it is a machine which enables a belt to go around your body an vigorously vibrate it.

Hi Dunia
I would suspect that the type of wording you are seeking is some form of "vibratory massager" which in English can be very dangerous as it has a sexual connotation. The excercise, however, is caused by a vibration action which I would think translates as something like "acción vibratorio". Hope this helps.

Thank you Gus, in this case it seems that it is impossible. I will omit this word in the translation.

Hello, it can be difficult to translate words that are dedicated to a profession.
