If you are going to offer a program in two languages, and that’s pretty important in places like TX, NM, and AZ, (or Quebec, etc) then do it right.

So if Sarah is correct about the translation not being appropriate, she should be thanked, not criticized, and the program should be revised at the first opportunity to get it right.

Constructive criticism should be valued.

Sarah – I want to thank you. As the first commenter on this post, it was refreshingly consistent to see you chose to ‘find the negative’. It never really is enough, is it…

Congratulations San Antonio on making safe cycling a priority in your city. I hope it is highly successful and other cities follow your bold initiative.

I’m very pleased to see the City of San Antonio making it a priority to improve bicycle safety and infrastructure. Educating motorists and cyclists about sharing the road is a message I hope we continue to hear more of.

yeah, i;m not crazy about the design either… it looks like ads from the 50s, wish they were more “with it”…

Do tell. I’m not a Spanish speaker, but I take it that “Cyched” doesn’t translate.

I am a graphic designer and native Spanish speaker, and avid cyclist. I work at a translation company where we ensure that all our translations are culturally appropriate and idioms are not lost in translation. In this case, they were. I wish the City of San Antonio had done a bit more thinking of what the ramifications of a bilingual (yet not completely bilingual) campaign would be.
