That's an excellent translation service.
Is it Marca's own service?

The Spanish protect there own. At worst they will lose their UEFA Cup spot from this season,but I don't believe even that will happen.

Have to disagree with you Harpo. It's a terrible translation. You get the jist of it but it's been changed exactly word for word.

Sounds like Valencia have a €50m loan to repay by the end of the year. Nothing about it on El Pais though.

Serious Spanish newspapers rarely talk about Sport. Stick to Marca or AS

Ahh now, I find El Pais to be fairly decent for it's football coverage.

Plus I can't stand tabloids.

Sorry, you are right about the actual translation. I filled in the blanks for most of the English. I havn't had a chance to see a translation online that is not a 'literal' translation. Also I don't read Spanish.

My point was that a user could go to the translated line and see the original Spanish and not rely solely on the 'literal' translation. Sorry again, I should have made clear what I liked about it.

Do not forget that the Chelsea striker tried to punch the Spaniard last summer, and that its name has suggested in letters of gold on his agenda

Quoted from the translation.... Lost in translation that was...
