Leonardo Lamarche Dec 15, 2009:
Beatriz, I agree with making up a name. Why not use "tomatine"???
EirTranslations (asker) Dec 15, 2009:
I think its just a made up term, to give some imaginary vacccine, medicine name, disease etc, so id need to make one up in English...perhaps along the same lines but Im a bit stuck
Leonardo Lamarche Dec 15, 2009:
Beatriz, Tomatino must be a typo. It is either tomatine (tomatina) as Bowden says or must be left without translation. Or say, "a small tomato" but it doesno fit in the context. The best fit is Bowden's.

Peer comment(s):
