neutral  Oliver Simoes: No contexto de corredor, acho que a grafia correta é "aisle". "isle" means island. O contexto me parece insuficiente para tirar uma conclusão.

Venda muito mais -- Ilha de Produtos: uma estratégia para vender mais
Publicada dia 11/05/2007

[sic] sistema consiste em colocar uma mesa ou balcão baixo no meio da área de vendas.

PRODUTOS EXPOSTOS EM ILHAS vendem até seis vezes mais que produtos colocados em mesas encostadas em paredes. Além de facilitar o acesso do cliente aos produtos, por ser acessível pelos quatro lados, ficam mais próximas da área de circulação, aumentando significativamente a venda por impulso.

Explanation:
É isso mesmo. Minha tradução é um ponto de interrogação e espero que seja votada a melhor. rsrsrs Acho que todos hão de convir comigo que não podemos traduzir um termo do qual não temos entendimento. A julgar pelos comentários, até agora não vi nenhuma explicação convincente do que significa uma ilha no contexto de um supermercado. Infelizmente, o exemplo dado carece de um contexto maior, portanto, minha tradução fica sendo o ponto de interrogração.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Olá, Oliver. Entendo a sua necessidade de mais contexto para traduzir o termo. Então, aqui vai a explicação: uma ilha de produtos em um supermercado são produtos colocados em exposição no meio dos corredores do supermercado em vez de nas prateleiras laterais. É uma estratégia pra chamar a atenção do consumidor. Quando posto perguntas aqui, espero receber sugestões de respostas de tradutores especializados na área sobre a qual tenho dúvidas e familiarizados com os termos da área, por isso, achei que o termo não precisava de explicação.
