I have a last minute addition to a brochure text already translated by another translator, but unfortunately he is on holiday now.
The English says "XXX is the new drink everyone was waiting for - a white Amaretto, the latest in the growing ranks of creamy, sweet liqueurs with a low alcohol content, but with no added cream or milk."
It is the last seven words which have been added. The Greek reads "ένα λευκό Amaretto, η απάντηση στην ολοένα αυξανόμενη ζήτηση για κρεμώδη, γλυκά λικέρ με χαμηλή περιεκτικότητα σε αλκοόλ." Could someone very kindly please add the cream or milk?

You need to change the encoding on your browser window in order to read the Greek. If you have Explorer, go to View - Encoding - and find Greek (Windows). If you click on that, it should read fine.

Hope you\'ve found it.
By the way, I wish to pay a compliment to your Greek translator. He\'s made a very good selection of words.

Since everybody agrees that I always use one word too many, and they\'re definitely right, I\'ll correct it to:
\"αλλά χωρίς προσθήκη κρέμας ή γάλακτος\"

: Correct, but preferably without the article: αλλά χωρίς προσθήκη κρέμας ή γάλακτος// Ναι, είδες, είμαι των λακωνικών απαντήσεων ;-) (απλώς μου ακούγεται καλύτερο χωρίς το άρθρο)

Καλησπέρα Δαφνούλα. Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ. Προσπαθείς να μου κόψεις βλέπω την πολυλογία πάλι. Δεν κόβεται, δυστυχώς. Όλο προσθέτω περιττά. :-))//Κι έχεις απόλυτο δίκιο.

: Eμένα πάντως το άρθρο δεν με πολυενοχλούσε...έτσι για να μη νοιώθεις η μόνη πολυλογού! :)))
