Talk:José Millán-Astray

Translation concerns
I did my best to translate this from the Spanish version (almost verbatim), making a few idiomatic changes when absolutely necessary. I'm afraid I may have made a few mistakes. I should mention two main concerns.

1.) I had some trouble comprehending the idiomatic expression here.


 * Millán-Astray, controlándose, grita: "¡Coja el brazo de la señora!" y Unamuno, haciéndole caso, se coge del brazo de Carmen Polo de Franco y abandona el recinto.

I made a major leap and concluded that this refers to some kind of courtesy gesture, i.e. hand-kissing. But it isn't at all clear what was meant (at least not to me), and it could be something else entirely. Surely a better translation exists.


 * I take it as "Protect yourself with the lady or I'll have to kill you!". --Error 17:05, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

2.) My other concern is how I should translate things like "Academia de Infantería de Toledo" and "Escuela Superior de Guerra", since they refer to specific institutions (although the latter is a generic term, common in Hispanophone countries, and ostensibly carries the meaning of "military college"). I decided to leave them in Spanish, in italics, and then provide parenthetical translations. If someone thinks this is wrong, please set it right. Bhumiya 06:25, 6 January 2006 (UTC)


 * From memory, the Academia is the Alcázar. --Error 17:05, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I wonder what Patton suffered from, being " prone to actions and general demeanor, both in and out of the battlefield, frequently described as reckless, impulsive and disturbingly ruthless" ? Creuzbourg (talk) 22:42, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
