Issue with Heavenletter #5293 You're Not Done Yet
Posted May 20th, 2015 by Wanda
Hello!
I'm currently working in the spanish translation of it, and i have a bit of an issue with the following part: "The words Life and Light begin with the same sound. Say just the first syllable and hold it with a little diphthong as if the beginning sound holds two syllables, and you will begin to feel it, this long note with a rising and a beginning leading to a landing above itself".
The issue is that in spanish the words Life and Light dont start with the same sound (Vida and Luz). What do i do? Because this part of the pharagraph doesnt really make sense in spanish because they're different...
Hugs,
Wanda

I think Luus had a good idea, in portuguese it´s exactly like in spanish and if i had to do it i would do it the way Luus said...
I have already use the paranthesys with english words in other cases...
So i think it´s the best way to do it...
Indeed, it's a great idea! I
Indeed, it's a great idea! I hadnt thought of it, but i'll definitely keep it in mind in the future for similar situations. Big hugs to you all :)
