Italian to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations | | Italian term or phrase: stupidario | This is from a website of a translation agency, which I'm translating:
...potete trovare tutte le informazioni utili per accedere ai servizi della società, dall’elenco delle prestazioni ai contatti, passando per la possibilità di chiedere un preventivo gratuito e finendo con le curiosità, una sorta di “stupidario”, piccolo viaggio nelle disavventure che capitano quando si affidano le traduzioni a chi non ha le competenza giuste.
Thanks. |
