===== Handling cultural references, idioms, and slang ===== | ===== Handling cultural references, idioms, and slang ===== | ||
Cultural references, idioms, and slang require a full understanding of these references between the cultures of your source and target languages. An example of a cultural reference in English would be the phrase, "kick-off meeting." This is a reference that uses an American football term. It means a meeting to begin a project. To translate it, you can follow one of two approaches: | |||
# Find an equivalent reference phrase in your language. | |||
# Remove the cultural reference and translate the core meaning (e.g., "a commencement meeting") | |||
If you can't find an equivalent, then you may remove the reference. | |||
Even in the informal products, you shouldn't use argentinian slang. | |||
