¿Será posible que estén diciendo que no es de material sintético?
Carmen Schultz Jul 20, 2007:
Of course, if you could get clarification from the client, that would be ideal!
Carmen Schultz Jul 20, 2007:
Since they don't specify, you may need to use something generic and ambiguous such as "linens". Typically, "linens" would refer to the sheets and such, but not having more info. makes it a guessing game so you need to leave it as ambiguous as the original
Poughkeepsie (asker) Jul 20, 2007:
I understand clothing from the text, as in they provide special clothing to be worn at the spa. But I guess it could also mean special sheets, etc. There's no more information about it. What do you think?
Noni Gilbert Riley Jul 20, 2007:
Could you confirm whether we are talking about clothing or "linen" in the sense of towels, sheets etc?

details such as the linen ...

para mí "ropa" aquí podría consistir tanto en "ropa de llevar" como en "ropa de cama" (una sábana por ejemplo dado que hablan de "almohadas" ...) por eso creo que hay que dejar el término muy general en inglés. "Linen" es un término general para artículos de esta materia.

clothing made with linen (or a percentage thereof) or made of other similar fabrics such as ramie

these clothes are considered to be very comfortable because they keep the body cool due to the fact that they are made of natural fibers that let you "breathe"

sometimes a blend of ramie and cotton is used to creat a linen-like fabric

Ramie is one of the strongest natural fibers. It exhibits even greater strength when wet. Ramie fiber is known especially for its ability to hold shape, reduce wrinkling, and introduce a silky lustre to the fabric appearance. It is not as durable as other fibers, and so is usually used as a blend with other fibers such as cotton or wool. It is similar to flax in absorbency, density and microscopic appearance. However it will not dye as well as cotton. Because of its high molecular crystallinity, ramie is stiff and brittle and will break if folded repeatedly in the same place; it lacks resiliency and is low in elasticity and elongation potential.

seed flax types for the production of linseed oil or flaxseeds for human nutrition.


Flax stem cross-section, showing locations of underlying tissues. Ep = epidermis; C = cortex; BF = bast fibres; P = phloem; X = xylem; Pi = pithFlax fibre is extracted from the bast or skin of the stem of flax plant. Flax fibre is soft, lustrous and flexible. It is stronger than cotton fibre but less elastic. The best grades are used for linen fabrics such as damasks, lace and sheeting. Coarser grades are used for the manufacturing of twine and rope. Flax fibre is also a raw material for the high-quality paper industry for the use of printed banknotes and rolling paper for cigarettes.

thread clothes/clothing

Which is the specific topic of the translation? Anyway, I believe that they are talking about clothes that are craftmade or realized using cotton/wool thick threads...

Could they mean bathrobe or dressing gown? They provide the customer confortable clothing while they join spa services...
