Help with Spanish translation...

[RJ California]

If anyone can translate "Put Car in Neutral" and "Foot Off Brake" from English to Spanish I would really appreciate it.

awww... skimming too fast...
I thought it said "Spanish Inquisition"

...nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

This Is what I got off Google:

Put Car In Neutral -- Poner en coche Nuetral

Foot Off Brake -- Freno de pie fuera

Does that sound right?

 

[jc1cell]

Put Car in Neutral = Poner vehículo en neutro or Poner cambio en Neutro

Foot off Brake = Quite el pie del freno

Asi es como lo diria yo = That's how I would say it.

Here is what I get:

Put Car In Neutral = Ponga Coche en Neutral
Foot off Brake = Corra De Freno

I use:

I like to use it because I can go both directions, English to Spanish and then back, Spanish to English to check it.

Hope this helps

Interesting how many different ways to say a 3 or 4 word sentence in Spanish.

Si --- and that's about the extent of my Spanish.

Actually it's for a car wash.

 

[asd]

actually the correct way is:

poner carro en neutral
no pise el freno

Download the google translator app for your phone. I find it invaluable when I talk to myself in multiple languages.

Lets just say that among the great people here I definitely know my place...just don't tell my clients...

There's definitely many ways to say it. In the many spanish speaking countries that make up souther america and central america along with the caribbean you will find many ways to say the same thing. All very similar. Post 4 and 11 are the closest you'll get to what you want to say.

Carrucha?

This is very true, and each Spanish speaking area has their own SLANG words for words like "CAR", just like in English.

However, if I was making a sign, I would use wording from an official Spanish translation dictionary, not a local slang word from Porto Rico, East Los Angeles, or the Bronx's, etc.

Like in East L.A., a Car is called Carrucha.

It has always been my experience that if you ask 2 or 3 Spanish speakers for a translation you'll get a few different versions. My wife's kindergarten class this year is ALL made up of kids from mostly illegals. She said a majority of the parents can't even read their own language. That may bring in some of the discrepancies. We have a Colombian secretary who is totally bilingual and her translations are spot on.

The only spanish I ever learned in High School was this..."Escuchen, esto es un robo!" And I only learned it because a kid in my other class said it, and I thought it sounded hilarious like something I could use in life. I was right...I just now used it. Not to mention if I ever fly to Mexico and find a 7-11 to knock over.

Guess my translation is out of the question.
