Colegas,
Estoy perdida con una frase que no dice mucho en español y que está redactada muy mal en español. Dado que la traducción la tengo que entregar en forma urgente, pensé en ofrecerle al cliente una "versión" en inglés qué sí tenga sentido (obviamente consultando con él de antemano).
El texto describe todos los sitios paleontológicos para visitar en la Provincia (Argentina), y termina con esta frase tan "poética" que no dice mucho....
“XXX (la Capital de la Provincia) es el punto de partida para que los aficionados a la Paleontología decidan de que manera visitar y combinar los sitios paleontológicos de la provincia”."
Mi versión:
“XXX is the departure point for paleontology fans to decide among the wide variety of options they have when it comes to all the different paleontological sites to be visited in the province.”
Suena bien? Qué les parece? Obviamente me aparté del original porque me parece que traducirlo literalmente no quedaría bien.
Gracias por sus comentarios!

XXX (the capital of YY Province) is an ideal starting point for paleontology lovers to decide which sites to visit in the area and how to organize their tour.

(Just amateurs the first time around will do if you don't want to repeat the word twice in the same sentence.)
XXX provides a perfect base from which amateur paleontologists/ amateurs can explore paleonthological sites throughout the province.

Thanks for your note. It made me look again and realize that I had stuck and "h" in paleontology where it didn't belong! In the context of tourism, you actually could say "fans of paleontology" or "lovers of paleontology" as it is obvious that most visitors would consider paleontology as a hobby rather than as a profession.

| Thanks Jenni! You´re right about "amateurs". It´s a false friend. |
