good work all And it was a pleasure to exchange ideas with you all. I usually work from Italian into English and only rarely have anything from French or German.

Eleanore Strauss Apr 9, 2013:

Thank you Alexandra... As indicated, that was a very fast, spontaneous response. There were really a lot of good ideas here, that show you just how personal and creative language can be. That's why I love my work.

Alexandra Speirs (asker) Apr 9, 2013:

thanks all Thanks to all, this is the liveliest discussion I've provoked on any of my questions! I have no idea why they are combining restaurant offers with classic car events, anything to bring in tourists I suppose. The Italian crisis is felt in Sudtirol too! Anyway, I gave them a choice of 2 slogans, one with and one without the heart, so it's out of my hands now. It's a pity I can't split the points.

Could you please provide a lot more context! This makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever, why is a restaurant using the word Urlaub/holiday at all?? What on earth are they trying to get across, what are they selling, what has it got to do with holidays (I mean yes of course people go to restaurants on their holidays but a slogan with the word holiday would only apply imo to hotels/guesthouses not restaurants, are no locals allowed?), and what is their connection with the vintage car rally? Are they offering some deal during the rally, is the slogan only targeting people going to the rally and not for general use?

Heartland of Tirol

Herz Der offizielle Werbeslogan für das Land Tirol lautet “Herz der Alpen”, und die gesamte Fremdenverkehrsbranche hat sich dies offenbar zu Herzen genommen :-) (google Tirol + Herz)

imo marketing slogans /catchphrases are tricky but they are nearly impossible to come up with without seeing the entire (con)text. The only person who doesn't have to take stabs at it is the Asker who can actually see the text it all refers to. all anyone else can do is give it a shot and hope asker likes it. guesswork at best.......

Eleanore Strauss Apr 8, 2013:

a holiday that makes your heart race could be construed as dangerous...:)

Eleanore Strauss Apr 8, 2013:

Actually, given that this is South Tirol, the reference to hearty fare would be perfectly adequate...it's the combination with holiday that throws it off.

David Friemann, MA Apr 8, 2013:

see my comment below...way to go, Alexandra!

Alexandra Reuer Apr 8, 2013:

Holidays that make your heart race! :-D

David Friemann, MA Apr 8, 2013:

including those two vital informations (it's for a restaurant and it's tied up with a vintage car rally) in your question might have contributed to some great suggestions.

Alexandra Speirs (asker) Apr 8, 2013:

Just in case the client is putting a heart somewhere I'm going to propose 2 alternatives. I won't insist on the scrumptious cooking (sorry!) because the whole thing is tied up with a vintage car rally, just to add to the fun.

Alexandra Reuer Apr 8, 2013:

Scrumptious Holidays See note in my answer.

Alexandra Speirs (asker) Apr 8, 2013:

No love or hearts involved, they just say how nicely they treat the guests! -

Hertz The car rental company is spelled with a "t" anyway ;-)...

Alexandra Speirs (asker) Apr 8, 2013:

not Herz rent-a-car, just a restaurant in South Tyrol

Javier Munoz Apr 8, 2013:

Ist "Herz" die Mitwagenfirma??

Alexandra Reuer Apr 8, 2013:

Hi Alexandra, has this actually got anything to do with love (or does the client sport a heart in their logo or something?), or is it literally just a kind of "bla" phrase?

Mariana Rohlig Sa Apr 8, 2013:

bezieht sich das "mit Herz" auf herzhaft (i.e. ein Restaurant mit herzhafter Küche)? Dann würde "harty" schon passen. Oder ist es im Sinne von "liebevoll" oder "romantisch"?
