Discuss for your employer the problems posed by this job in both linguistic and cultural terms. Some words or phrases in english may not exist in spanish, and some concepts in english may not exist in spanish. With proper nouns such as names, it"s often difficult to make a good translation because some names have no meaning or purpose other than to refer to the object, in this case the crayon. However, some of the crayon names are quite descriptive, which makes them a bit simpler to translate. Propose translation for 8 colors from one of the following collections and explain your decision. For this collection, i just provided a direct translation of the color names. In english, crayola chose names of objects that share similar colors to the crayon mix.
