As a newsroom reporting on a Spanish-speaking country in English, we often find ourselves conscientiously thinning the veil between the two languages. But most of the time, we’re left wishing there was some way of conveying the essence of Argentine Spanish when there just isn’t time or space to do so. The term bicicleta financiera actually has a direct English translation, “carry trade” (borrowing capital from a country at a low-interest rate and lending it at a high-interest rate). Alas, we went with the direct translation, but at least we all know that the term has an Argentine soul now. Share your thoughts and translation hang-ups with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram!
