AllegroTrans Aug 28, 2012:
Please don't take it so personally Mariana I only said that what Edward found should have been found by anyone searching. I had no intention of being disparaging, and if I was then I am sorry and apologise. No, I didn't suggest an answer because I agree with Edward's answer. Peace!
Mariana Harriague (asker) Aug 27, 2012:
I don't think your comment about me or my search skills after Edward's post is fair. I'm not here to be tested, but to ask for help. If this was so easy to find, how come I only got these 2 answers of all the boards I posted this in? You didn't give an answer either. You don't know me or my skills or the level of difficulty of this translation, so I don't think you should be making disparaging comments about others. Not very professional or respectful of a colleague.
Mariana Harriague (asker) Aug 27, 2012:
Yes, I have, most of the results are in Catalan, and even using the online translator (horror of horrors!) it doesn't make it clear. It mentions the food, but not much more. That is why I asked here to see if someone had heard of this, or lived there.
AllegroTrans Aug 27, 2012:
Prior research? Have you googled to see what happens at this celebration?

agree franglish : or traditional trades such as basket making which they then sell to the vivitors. The point is to show HOW thing were done and may still be.

Perhaps "traditional arts and crafts" would be best.
