English term or phrase: tan angel
En un folleto donde se explica cómo debe posicionarse una bañera en el cuarto de baño, se lee:

"At tan angel in the corner (50 mm. minimum)".

¿Alguien me puede aclarar lo de 'tan angel'? Gracias
csm
a un ángulo
Explanation:
At tan angel in the corner = At an angle in the corner

Supongo que se trata de un error, no es un "ángel bronceado".

at an angle


Explanation:
Sin duda, no es un "ángel bronceado".
La frase sigue sin tener mucho sentido porque los rincones son ángulos, así que sería como decir en un ángulo del ángulo, pero creo que es lo que se quiere decir, no tiene por qué estar bien redactado.
"En un rincón, a una distancia de 50mm de una de las paredes".

agree  María Teresa Taylor Oliver: Mayormente traduzco al español manuales traducidos del japonés al inglés, y uno de los errores más constantes es el de "angel" por "angle". De hecho, hay toda una cultura del "Engrish" ;-)
