competition

Spanish to English Other Livestock / Animal Husbandry Breeders, Veterinarians, Sponsoring in Dogs & Cats Competitions
It is important to note that our competition has developed tight relationship with many cat and dog breeders since long years; therefore it is a job that needs to be done professionally and with lot of seriousness.
Change log

Jul 19, 2006 00:05: changed "Kudoz queue" from "In queue" to "Public"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Alejandra Villarroel

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

competitors

They mean "our competitors", loosely referred to as The Competition". The source text looks like a rough verbatim translation, for example "therefore" and "seriousness" are out of place in this context IMO.

The incorrect use of "since" is a golden classic Spanish howler...

la competencia

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo que el texto original sea una pobre traducciçon "Spanglish" de lo que empezço como un texto en español. De todos modos, el contexto es claramente comercial:

(Com) competencia: the competition is selling the product at a higher price, la competencia vende el producto más caro.
