Roaming Explanation: This term is used untranslated by airtel and several mobile phone companies in Spain. It means that the telephone has capacity to conect by GSM (satelite)to anywhere in the world with no limitation on physical location: The text below comes from a description of a MOTOROLA T 2288 mobile phone: Selección automática de las bandas GSM 900 ó 1800 para roaming internacional. In my opinion it is OK to use the term Roaming but it should be clear from the context what it means, becuase the average Spanish person does would not understand. Reference: http://www.airtel.es |

as below Explanation: I agree with Bar. One can only use a near approximation and then use the English word. Such is the case the case that Anglo-saxon terms are permeating the marketing scene like fish through water, it's always good to back your translations with the English alternatives, because some may have heard of them. Have fun. Reference: http://micasa.yupi.com/traducciones |
