English to Spanish translations [PRO]
English term or phrase: widescreen and cinesmascope
It is the responsibility of the management team to ensure that projection standards are being upheld.

All floor staff must be trained in distinguishing the following problems:

 Out of focus
 Out of frame
 Sound not at correct level
 Sub titles not at the correct height
 Picture not in correct format, that is, widescreen or cinemascope
 Correct lighting
 Any other conditions that may affect the screen presentation

Films must be checked at the commencement of every feature.

Spanish translation:"Pantalla panoramica" and "cinemascope(r)"
Explanation:
"Probably the most widely known wide-screen process is CinemaScope, introduced by Twentieth Century Fox in 1953, and still with us (in essentially the same form) today."
So basically can only translate wide-screen into "pantalla panoramica" and "cinemascope" remains the same due to the fact that its a trademark. Hope that solves your problem.

Explanation:
Según el diccionario de Alcaraz-Varó/Hughes de marketing, publicidad y medios de comunicación, "widescreen" es "pantalla panorámica", y "cinemascope" se queda igual en castellano. Tu traducción quedaría pues "pantalla panorámica y cinemascope". Ambos términos son además ámpliamente utilizados y conocidos en España.
Un saludo.
