Spanish term

largo

Spanish to English Marketing Tourism & Travel
Description of displays at a tourism industry trade fair:
"En esta feria de público se puede encontrar, además de toda la oferta turística internacional, otros sectores como el alimenticio, inmobiliario, tecnológico y un *largo*, etc."
I suppose it means "sector largo", but don't know what that would be.

This is from the autonomous community of Andaluc�a.

Where from? I can't figure it out, but maybe someone from the specific country has heard it. Maybe a concourse or something like that, with a whole series of exhibits. In Mexico "un largo" would be some kind of hustler...
Non-ProZ.com Jun 22, 2005:
"Etc." is part of the text, followed by a comma and then what I added above.
Non-ProZ.com Jun 22, 2005:
"....distribuidos en cinco pabellones del recinto de XXX."
Henry Hinds Jun 22, 2005:
Is there anything that comes after "largo"?

Hi,
There shouldn't be a coma. "Un largo etcétera" means and many more. It's very widely used and not very elegant. I would say "sinfín" instead, but anyway, we're translating into English.
