    Spanish to English ingle

    I was just watching an advert on tv and noticed that ingle/s also refers to what is called a “bikini line” in english, particularly in reference to the topic of female grooming. The additional translation of “groin” would sound wrong if someone translated this word for this purpose. I realise...

    English to French ham

    In the English to French entry about ham, there is a slight mistake in the second definition. The example for this definition does not provide any mention of ham in the French translation. To quote the entry, "Tim fait les meilleurs sandwiches au monde".

    Spanish to English antes de pe y be con eme escribiré

    It seems odd to me to "translate" this Spanish spelling rule (about mb & mp) by providing a totally different English spelling rule (about ie vs. ei). A gloss might be more appropriate?

    Portuguese to English drogaria

    This is a false friend. Drogaria in PT (at least European) is not a drugstore. This is a store where you buy hardware products, specialized cleaning products (and other chemicals). Not sure if there's a name for it in English.

    Greek to English κατόπιν

    In the example given 'consequently' is used incorrectly in the sentence. In this context, the word should be 'subsequently' - it is primarily a temporal NOT a causal context. Great resource - I love Word Reference - thanks so much for it!

    English base hit

    When I was translating, I noticed that one of the uses for the word hit was missing. The one that I think is missing is the use of hit like in "The tornado hit the city". I was wondering if that use for the word could be added, however I'm not sure if there is a correct word in Spanish for it.

    Mr. Dupont is a somebody: he is director of the international subsidiary. It seems to me that this English translation of a French example sentence is missing an article. If the subsidiary has only one director, Mr. Dupont is "the" director; if there are multiple directors, then he would be...

    Falta la tilde en gastárselas del título y en "cómo" del ejemplo: Ten cuidado con él que ya sabes como se las gasta. Y la traducción merecería ser revisada: jugar malas pasadas = jouer des mauvais tours no me parece la mejor manera de expresar lo mismo.
