First of all, I must tell you that I think it\'s very funny and I don\'t feel offended by it, I really don\'t mind. But I think it\'s worth talking about.
We have seen some job offers just for Argentinian translators, and some of us have thought that it might be to take advantage of the economic situation.
BUT THIS !

Transaltion on manufacture of cars. NO ARGENTINE, CHILEAN OR CUBAN TRANSLATORS.
I don\'t understand. It could be because of the Spanish spoke in these countries, but usually a translator knows the differences and takes them in consideration when translating. For that it\'s essential to know for which country the translation is.
And Cuban spoken Spanish has nothing to do with Argentinian or Chilean one (just in the spoken language).
I\'d like to understand, because if it was asked for \"Mexican translators\" or \"Colombian\" or anything else it would be less shocking.

I don´t understand either.
It would be very \"interesting\" to know why your country, mine and Cuba are excluded.

If not really intentionally done, at least I can say the poster is tactless.
I fully agree, we are very used to this kind of specifications, and I think it\'s right.
And I think I\'d have understood if he had said \"No South American\" translators. But the difference he makes has no sense, that\'s why I try to understand.

Why make such a big movie about it? There are simply people who know how to express themselves and others who don´t. Obviously the one who placed this ad doesn´t.
