Hi,
I need a little bit of help. I am going to be releasing a book called "500 Spanish Sermon Outlines Volume 1." Any idea the best way to translate that?

Thanks,
Barry

    Sorry can't help you.
    All i can contribute is that you would probably need a person fluent in both languages and with an understanding in both cultures.
    Translating is not as easy as using Google Translate, reason being that some words, phrases may lose their original meaning. You could end up with something completely different from what was intended in the original script...

      I´m a native Spanish speaker currently living in Spain. The only way of translating a book is by getting a qualified person to translate it obviously... don´t even think about Google Translator.

        The book has already been translated. I was just looking for some help with the title.

      It hasn't been yet. I had the book translated but the translator is no longer available to help me with the title.

        affiliate_marketer,

        I would like to mention that translating Spanish is not an easy task.
        A phrase may have an acceptable word in one country and the same
        word meaning profanity in an other.

    Hi.

    I'm a native Spanish speaker (live in Puerto Rico). Did you translate it already?

    "500 Spanish Sermon Outlines Volume 1" could be translated:

    "500 Bosquejos de Sermones en Español: Volumen 1"

      But not 100% sure

      The thing is, if you say "españoles", you're actually impliying that the outlines ('bosquejos") come from Spain. That's why I would recommend to say "en Español" instead (unless the author is actually refering to outlines made in Spain, but that doesn't seem to be the case...or is it? Maybe the author can clarify)

      Also, "cermones" should be written with an "s": "sermones".
