need a good translation, not literal for empowering. It's for a company that empowers nannies with information (and making them feel secure, valuable) so they can keep their children safe

What is needed is someone who is familiar with spanish corporate speek. There are a few threads on word reference that use the word empoderar and empoderamiento in this fashion. The interesting thing is that the W.R. dictionary doesn't have the word. If they're saying something in companies here though, they're saying it in companies there also. ain't globalization grand?

That's exactly what I was going to suggest!

In translations like this one, you have to guess what the fluff is really supposed to mean, and I think training works well here.

Salvando las vidas de los niños a través de educación y capacitación

Maybe something like that'

Hi Maria
To empower was discussed in a thread during February this year. Don't know whether it would be relevant in your case but you can look. Click on the link below.

It's a tough one because they use empower to mean two things : provide resources (like you say) and give the person power/self-assurance so they feel prepared to face the situation

It's actually a slogan

Empowering and Educating. Saving the Lives of Children.

Their mission says "to save children's lives through educating and empowering child caretakers, parents and families with injury prevention startegies so that they are better prepared to handle crisis situations.

Basically they give classes to children caretakers so that they can prevent accidental deaths caused by posonings, drownings, etc.

Does that help? I'm new on this site...


I'm not going to attempt a translation but how, then, would you feel about "educating and providing resources for caretakers..."? as an alternative expression'
