Daniela Lara Feb 12, 2009:
Maybe one we will know why the needed a box of "hard candy" hahaha
David Russi Feb 12, 2009:
OK, but what dd you do? I any case, you can still close the question, without grading, if you choose. Saludos!
Lorena Becker (asker) Feb 12, 2009:
Hi everyone!! Sorry for my delay! I sent a note to the PM about "hard candy" but I never got a reply. So I still don't know exactly what "hard candy" meant in that context. Thanks everyone!!
Daniela Lara Feb 11, 2009:
So I guess Lorena didn't ask her client or she just forgot about us...
Lorena, you should choose one or tell us what your client said! I wanna know what is a hard candy in this context...I can't sleep at night...hahah
David Russi Jan 2, 2009:
¿Qué pasó con esta pregunta, Lorena? Sería interesante saberlo...
David Russi Nov 25, 2008:
I would ask the client. While it is true that it does not seem to fit the context, it may be an error in the document, or it may actually be what they want.

http://www.americawestdrillingsupply.com/Productsnew.asp Creo que aquí está todo lo que se necesita para una operación de ese tipo y no hay nada que se llame así.
Luisa Ramos, CT Nov 25, 2008:
The only thing I can think of is that this is a term they use to refer to some parts, like a nickname.
Lorena Becker (asker) Nov 25, 2008:
The quotation marks are mine and the term does no repeat within the text.
Luisa Ramos, CT Nov 25, 2008:
Is it in quotation marks or those are yours?
Luisa Ramos, CT Nov 25, 2008:
Can you perform a search and see whether the term repeats?
Lorena Becker (asker) Nov 25, 2008:
It's for a drilling operation. That's why I'm lost.
Luisa Ramos, CT Nov 25, 2008:
Is this for some sort of disaster preparedness or is it really for a drilling operation?
Luisa Ramos, CT Nov 25, 2008:
Yeah, same question here. Is that a water well drilling thing? The only references I found are indeed about sweets and their manufacturing.

Note from asker:
"Caramelo duro" is a water well drilling supply?
Peer comment(s):
agree José J. Martínez : Si...
1 min
disagree ca_lop : I think this translation only applies to a culinary context, not technical.

neutral Luisa Ramos, CT : Umm, I am not that sure ca_lop. What if the engineers wanted to chew on something sweet? We need the asker to clarify and provide more context.

hard candy caramelos solubles (caramelos que no son aptos para masticar)

Lorena, estoy de acuerdo con que le preguntes al cliente si el término es correcto o si es un apodo para algo, sino lo único que puede ser es una lista de provisiones en caso de emergencia, por lo que los dulces estarían dentro de esta por ser una fuente de azúcar...

A menos que quieran una caja del último disco de Madonna o de la película Hard Candy...

acabo de encontrar esto, hard candy al parecer es una marca de cosméticos
