Sign in Espanol'

Oh brother...

So, I need a translation that actually makes sense to our spanish speaking brothers..

It needs to say something like:

Parking on Sunday reserved for Soapbox Laundry clients only.

Violators will be towed at owners expense.

Anybody got any idea? Babel fish looked crazy, and I don't know if "parking" has the same meaning across languages.

"Estacionamiento en dias Domingo sera reservado exclusivamente para clientes de Soapbox Laundry" - thats pretty much word for word.

If that's too long you could go with something like: Sundays - Reserved parking for Soapbox Laundry clients

"Domingo - Estacionamiento reservado para clientes de Soapboax Laundry"

I lived half my life in South America so you can trust either of those.

Need another version? let me know. Hope that helps

The literal translation for violators is violadores, which also means rapists so I wouldn't use that word...I would go with 'unauthorized vehicles' as in 'vehiculos no autorizados'

You could say Unauthorized vehicles will be towed = Vehiculos no autorizados seran remolcados

The word remolcados is understood everywhere by hispanics but not commonly used amongst all of them. I believe its quite common in Mexico so if that's your target audience then great. I'll try to think of a better one, it's just not coming to me right now.

Cheers,

Will the rapists be towed as well? Even if they are customers?
