Dear translators...

how would you translate "sewage underground lines"...? "Conductos de desague subterr�neos"? or "cloaca" instead of "desague"???

cheers

I would use desague. That is what I have always heard it called when talking about sewage.

Good luck

Hi, you can write "l�neas de aguas residuales".

psicutrinius · 05-30-2008, 01:10 PM

Yes, and (in Spain's Spanish at least) you could say "alcantarillado" too

Sistemas (o l�neas) de acueductos subterr�neos

no it is not possible to translate it as "acueducto", because it is not water supply, it should be "alcantarillado", but there are some extra words <<underground lines>>

correct interpretation! , because in this case it is hardly difficult to establish a literal translation, since in developing countries sewage has different designs and architectural styles.

how about "t�neles cloacales" - it's commonly used in Argentina.
