estoy corrigiendo un texto y esta traduccion no me convence, alguien me puede dar su opinion,:
(original) "un stand de casi 400 metros cuadrados que recrea ambientes de cocinas .."
(traduccion) "an stand measuring almost 400 square meters where kitchen ambiences were recreated..."
me suenan mal measuring y ambience, pero quizas soy demasiado crítica.

with a square of almost


Explanation:
seems better to me. Millieu, surrounding, ENVIRONMENT, atmosphere or even climate/ microclimate seem to be a solution for "ambiences"/ Hope it helps. Good luck, aidagda!

Explanation:
I think this goes with the mercantile nature of the piece (ie. kitchens for sale).

a stand measuring almost 400....


Explanation:
I personally prefer the translation provided then any of the other translations presented thus far. Except of "a" instead of "an" before stand (an is incorrect).
Of course, there are other options such as the following:
A stand measuring approximately 400 square meters recreating kitchen ambiences;
A stand of approximately 400 square meters in which kitchen ambiences are represented.
Hope this helps.
