Spanish term

las principales Variables que utilizaremos en la predicción

Spanish to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations
Por variables, se refiere a las que influyen sobre la venta de un procducto : estacionales, Precipitaciones, publicidad. En este contexto:

"A continuación mostramos las principales Variables que utilizaremos en la predicción y cuáles serán las fuentes empleadas."

Le doy vueltas a algo así:

"Next we will show the main Variables which we will use in the prediction and which will be the sources used."
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): cmwilliams (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Next, we will show the main/principle variables used in our prediction and which will be the sources used." Forecast sounds better to me than prediction.

Yes, you are right. WHOOPS!
agree Richard Boulter : Its just me, but I like to use 'principal' or 'primary' rather than 'main' in all but the most informal translations. My two bits worth.

Eugenio, please correct the spelling in the glossary, as already noted by the answerer: forcast > forecast. Enjoy your week!
