    Default Help with non-violence event translation

    Greetings! I work for a non-profit where we are planning an event to mourn the disturbingly high number of young lives lost to violence in Oakland. We want to reach out to our Spanish-speaking community members, but can't afford the resources for translation. Could anyone help us with the following phrases?

    -Community Altar Building: Lost lives of 2008

    -Children's story corner

    -Oakland Altar Tree

    Thank you for any advice you can offer!

    Peace,
    Shannon

    Hi Shannon. I am a Spanish translator and this is my translation:

    -Community Altar Building: Lost lives of 2008
    -Edificio del altar de la comunidad: vidas perdidas de 2008

    -Children's story corner
    -Rincón de relatos para niños

    -Oakland Altar Tree
    -Árbol del altar de Oakland

    By the way, I am not sure about the translation of "Oakland Altar Tree". Can you provide a definition, please?
    Actually some context would be useful for a more accurate translation. Let´s wait for a second opinion. I hope this will help a little.

    Hi! I would just make small changes

    vidas perdidas en 2008
    Árbol altar de Oakland
    Of course, for a better translation, we would need a definition for this, as spanishguitar explained.
    Realmente, el destino del mundo depende, en primer lugar, de los estadistas y, en segundo lugar, de los intérpretes.

    Hi Sandra,

    Thanks for the corrections. I agree with you.
    I thought about "árbol altar" too, but I was not sure.

    So the definitive translation would be:

    -Community Altar Building: Lost lives of 2008
    -Edificio del altar de la comunidad: vidas perdidas en 2008

    -Children's story corner
    -Rincón de relatos para niños

    -Oakland Altar Tree
    -Árbol altar de Oakland

    Oakland Altar Tree
    -Árbol altar de Oakland

    yo lo traduciría de la siguiente manera
    -altar del árbol de Oakland

    esa es mi opinión personal. saludos!!!!
