    Default herir

    since we are talking of engraving (see '', how can I translate the following sentence?

    . Cuando se hiere la plancha de metal, ésta se abre levantando una milimétrica rebaba a ambos lados de la incisión

    My attempt:
    . When the metal plate is scratched, this one is opened raising one millimetric rough edge to both sides of the incision

    if you're not sure of the exact effect of the (drypoint) on the metal plate, maybe "damaged" is a little bit safer. But scratched sounds good to me too.

    Hi Sol and Vicky...

    I'd go simply with "damaged" is the most neutral word... in my opinion...

    What others say ?

    Any native contributor?
