Non-ProZ.com Feb 7, 2004:
Gerard: I agree with Patricia when she refers to electric red flashes. In the original it says, referring to this special device: Identifica la existencia de la cantidad de duendes que integran una formaci�n a�rea. That is why I have used "elves". Thank you!
Gerard Burns Jr. Feb 7, 2004:
more context is apparently needed

Hola Adrito,
Si bien mi granny irlandesa preferiria a los fairies y elves, leperchauns,fays, pixies, pucks, dwarfs,gnomes and goblins proper...

... aquí -en tu contexto de la fuerza aerea- se trata de flashes o destellos eletricos rojos: los esquivos duendes y elfos que danzan en las nubes de tormenta en la mesofera, tambien sobre las nubes de tormenta.

En la siguiente webpage te ilustran sobre duendes: flashes electricos rojos (elves: electric red flashes) avistados desde el Columbia.


Mucha Suerte en tu tradu...y por si acaso...dejale alguna miguita de pan cerca de tus tesauros y diccionarios a los fairies...just in case!

Failte
(Salud en Gaelico Irlandes)
Patricia.

HI ADRITO

I meant \"Slainte\" : \"Health\" in Irish....

which means \"welcome\"...ah the good ol´Irish hospitality...sorry for this lapsus linguis.
..maybe my secret wish to travel to the Esmerald Isle for a nice vacation.....

fairies

Unless this is some very special slang:
"Duende" is variously translated in English, and can also be "elf" or "dwarf", however, the only such beings considered capable of flight are "fairies".
