cast vs command

15:34 Jun 9, 2010 

This question has been open since December - have you thought of closing it?

Totally agree claudia16. I just usually answer questions on translations, never really thought there would only be a question about knowing differences in two terms, just went ahead and gave my point of view... if I read it properly you're right... but I don't think it is the best place where to post that question. As far as I know us users here try to post translations directly, with the translation explanations... so probably it should be on another section.
Hope my entry helped the asker in any case!

If that's the case, Claudia, the asker should have posted this in the English to English section.

Perhaps this question shouldn't even be here. Strictly speaking the asker never requested a translation, she just wanted confirmation on whether she had understood the difference between the two terms...

05:07 Dec 12, 2009 

Exactly, Anne. That's all I asked for right at the start, but to no avail, which I don't quite understand. I don't think this would have a taken a big effort from the asker.

Margaret :), I've said myself that if you "put the phrase it would may be easier to do a translation..."... it is the only way we could be able to really help here!

So much for my request (which I don't think was so difficult!). Never mind...

Yes, "Cast" would be the body language, like in a "Casting" for a theather play, body language, how the body movement expresses itself,... and "Command" would be the voice... if you actually put the phrase it would may be easier to do a translation... but in any case it would be something like "Lenguage Corporal y Voz (Comando)" - 'Comando' refers to a certain word given to achieve a certain action from the dog.

from what I can see in the link below, you are right. They use command as a voice order and cast as an order where you turn, point, wave etc.

Could you give us a sample of a sentence containing both? Context is vital if you want to get a good feedback.
