peer agreement (net): +1North Lima Explanation: If you should choose North Lima, you would be in good company. The rationale for not translating "Lima Norte" is like that of not translating "Distrito Federal", which is regularly translated. See the results at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="north lima" peru -ohio . They include: Ethnologue report for PeruList of languages of Peru. ... Quechua, Cajatambo North Lima.

I meant only to say that there are valid arguments for translating place names. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2007-03-06 03:46:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Wikipedia link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lima_Region . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2007-03-06 04:09:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, could be. Some might argue that "region" is implied. I think you could do it either way. Often the World Factbook is used as a style manual for these things. The World Factbook does not subdivide Lima, though. The world factbook does give both Spanish and English titles for the high court. Perhaps you will want to put the entire name in Spanish in italics and then in parentheses put the entire name in English. In any case, it appears that if you use the English, you have the option of North Lima or North Lima Region, as you prefer. https://cia.gov/cia//publications/factbook/geos/pe.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2007-03-06 04:11:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I.e., Corte Suprema de Justicia de Lima Norte (Supreme Court of Justice of North Lima). |

Lima Norte Explanation: I would not translate Lima Norte, located in Peru. Actually, North Lima is a city in Ohio. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day19 hrs (2007-03-06 20:51:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thank you, Ana, I only translate places such as Roma=Rome, Wien=Vienna, Schweiz=Switzerland, etc. etc. etc. Places not well known are usually not translated. |
