Post Does anyone know how to translate these jargony terms?

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the forum and searched for answers but found no matches.

I'm working on a few marketing pieces. The text is not written for a global audience, so it's making the translation into Spanish difficult.

Any suggestions on translating the following terms:

Spring forward
Coming up empty
Running on empty
Cash in your back yard

Any/all help is appreciated!

Diana

Funky, you must give more context and at least full sentences!!

The terms don't look very difficult, but we need to know the context.

I'm so sorry Funky, but you won't get many people helping you if you don't help us understand what you need.

I absolutly agree with Exxéntrica...

Best regards,

All right, Diana.. Let's see..
Evidently, you searched for these very idiomatic expressions and set us all working.
"Spring forward" means "dar un salto hacia adelante, dar un salto rápido hacia adelante" which I think is used in a context for "progress, advance". As for "coming up empty", this means "fracasar en el logro de un objetivo o resultado deseado." Then, "running on empty" means "andar o quedarse sin el(aliento, aire, esfuerzo, energía,etc.)". In this case we understand that we previously know the noun for which we will be using the idiomatic expression.
Finally, the expression "cash in your back yard",.. I just gave up momentarily. It must be quite a slang. I'll figure that out. I have someone in mind who will help me out.

Regards,
seeker50.

Hola Seeker:

I won't try to translate it into Spanish but "cash in your back yard" is a phrase, depending on the context, that usually means having something of value, something saleable, in an unexpected place. There is a TV program called "Cash in the Attic" which is about selling things you have lying around that you might think is of no value but someone else would be happy to buy.

Hi Seeker50! Hi Vicente! Good explanation! I understand it as "tesoro escondido", but other opinions would be more than welcome!

Bye my friends!
