Japanese to English translations [Non-PRO]
Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations | | Japanese term or phrase: 2010年2月4日(木) 14:00-17:00 ＜13:30開場＞ | An event's website describes the timing of the event.
I guess it would be something like "Thursday the 4th of February, 2010, 14:00-17:00 (Opening at 13:30)", but I don't know how to sequence the information.
Thanks a lot! |

| | February 4th, 2010 (Thu) 14:00-17:00 (doors open 13:30) | Explanation:
There's a few ways that it could be phrased but I would phrase it this way personally, as a native speaker. "Doors open" sounds better from a marketing perspective than "opening". (If you google the expression ""doors open at" you'll see it used in the context of event times - I see this quite a lot) |
