Note from asker:
| no tilde? :-) |
| Welcome to KudoZ. Two points: 1. Are you sure you need to translate this at all? If it's cited elsewhere, it may be best to leave it in Spanish. 2. If you've translated the book, the title should be the last thing you do. It may bear no relation to the source language, but will sum up what the book is about and make people want to read it. The literal translation is "ten-line stanzas on science." Here's an explanation, with an example at the beginning: http://www.uchile.cl/noticias/140990/geofisico-gana-concurso-pajara-voladora-violeta-investigadora I think it should be "décimas". |
| The written accent is missing and so is the ¨s¨ for plural. The title of the book is ¨Ciencia en décimas para Violeta¨ https://www.libroverde.cl/ciencia-en-decimas-para-violeta-1008030287xJM |
| Thx Cecilia, I assumed it. I think that Phils' advice is excellent :-) |
| Thank you Phil, I did not translate the book but am revising the translation of the catalogue of all the books this editor has. I agree that it may be best left in Spanish, but the literal translation you propose reads ok so I'll let the editor decide... thank you very much! |
| Thank you Sofia! this is also a good option |
