Heya, I need some help with a thing for work that we are having problems with. Right now there are a lot of Spanish speakers in the city and no one at my work speaks Spanish. We sell detox at my job, and we have directions in English, but not Spanish. It's already a really complicated thing to explain to people.

Is anyone here fluent/or competent in Spanish and could you translate this for me? I’d really appreciate it, along with many Spanish job seekers.


1. Drink 24 ounces of water an hour before using the product
2, consume entire product slowly.
3. Wait 15 minutes
4. Fill empty bottle with water and drink
5. Wait 2 hours before testing
6. Urinate 3 or more times during those 2 hours
7. You are ready to test, use within 4 hours of consumption for best results.

1. Bebe 24 onzas de agua en la hora antes el uso del producto.
2. Consume el producto en totalidad.
3. Espera 15 minutos.
4. Llena las botellas con agua y bebe el agua.
5. Espera 2 horas antes de la prueba.
6. Orina 3 o mas veces en esas 2 horas.
7. Está preparado para la prueba, usa dentro de 4 horas de consumición para los mejores resultados.

That's the translation in the formal present tense, I don't think its appropriate to use the command tense in this situation. But then again... I never quite understood the Spanish culture politeness crap.

Not as fluent as I'd like to be :wink:

Took 3 years in high school and 2 years in college, it's a little fuzzy but I'm sure they would be able to understand from those directions.

Hey milamber.

thats sorta silly. the problem isn't gonna go away by just ignoring it. we are slowly turning bi-lingual and i think that makes some people mad cause they don't wanna learn spanish. i don't wanna learn spanish either, but sometimes you just have to deal with it cause cultures change whether you like it or not.



oh and yeah, i know about all the online translators, but they come out wonky sometimes

Yay. I'm fairly proud of myself. I can translate simple sentences in present tense. Gogogogo college-level spanish.

"Hello and thank you for calling <insert business name here>, for english please press 1, to disconnect until you learn to speak english please press 2."
