hogar (Colombian Spanish)

"Could it mean containers for home or domestic use?"
That's the problem I have. There is no mention anywhere of providing containers to anyone but salespeople and companies.

I copied the wrong source text to the question. Here is the right one. And yes, it's not football.

Colocación de envase al hogar: se realiza un procedimiento especial que requiere hacer una parametrización en el sistema central, donde, para un cliente genérico, se asigna la cantidad máxima permitida de los elementos a prestar para un rango de fecha que también deberá parametrizarse.

It looks to me as though
(a) Sports / Football in the subject heading is left over from a previous question and is not applicable.
(b) The wrong paragraph was accidently copied from the ST and the one that should have been copied has "hogar" where the draft translation has "home".

Having said that, the Diccionario de americanismos gives:

"hogar.
a. ǁ ~. fórm. Co. Se usa en un documento administrativo para designar la dedicación de la mujer a las tareas domésticas."

I can't immediately see the relevance of this, but there it is.

Could it mean containers for home or domestic use?

Maybe I'm blind but 2 things come up in this question. 1) I don't read "hogar" anywhere in the original text. 2) I read "home" in the translation which has almost nothing to do whatsoever with the original.

Hi Ben,
Where does "hogar" occur in the source text?

11:49 Apr 26, 2015 

Not to mention the at present obscure connection with football. Is this designed to give our brains a Sunday workout?

11:48 Apr 26, 2015 

Good question. And I also find it difficult to match the rough draft to the original. It doesn't seem to be the same paragraph.

Could you sort this out, Ben?

Hi, where does it say "hogar" in your Spanish extract?

Obvious confusion in this ageing brain.....
