Blue Notes
Estoy traduciendo un texto sobre una capacitación para gerentes de una tienda de productos de belleza. En esta capacitación les enseñan a ser buenos líderes y a orientar a los miembros de su equipo para incrementar las ventas, conservar a los clientes, etc.
El texto dice:
Store activities:
Putting out a shipment, the weekly Blue Notes, correction counts, fronting and facing, selling a BCC or any task on the Daily Duties sheet.
Encontré solo una traducción que tiene que ver con notas musicales, pero este no es el contexto.
Desde ya muchas gracias!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

“Blue Notes” (Boletín Semanal) or “Blue Notes”
Hello Belen,
Your question is about the possible translation of “Blue Notes”.
ANALYSIS
“Blue Notes” is proper noun according to the context. In Spanish like in other modern western languages, we don’t translate the foreign proper nouns with the exception of the cases that they are foreign terms with appropriate Spanish translations.
The book “Ortografía de la Lengua Española” publisher by the “Real Academia Española” (ISBN 84-239-6812-X) explains about this subject. It also posts a list of proper nouns they have official translation to Spanish. (“Nueva York” for “New York”, “Niza” for “Nice”, “Naciones Unidas” for “United Nations”…)
For the reason that explained in the previous paragraph, I think it is not appropriate to translate “Blue Notes” to another Spanish proper name.
My suggestion is to write the English name with an explanation in between two parentheses like this: “Blue Notes” (Boletín Semanal) or directly “Blue Notes”.
I wrote “Blue Notes” between quotation marks, but I would like to comment that in printing materials, the writer James C. Fernald suggests the writing of foreign proper nouns in italics.
MY SUGGESTION:
- “Blue Notes” (Boletín Semanal)
- “Blue Notes”
I hope this analysis and suggestion help you in your work.
Regards
Domingo
