Swedish spelling error.

[ Edited ]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This skype ad translates into:

 

Good looking, stable video call with iPhone.

Fin, stadig video ringa med din iPhone

                         ^^^^

                     Problem area.

                Suggestion: add a full stop after video, and remove the "a" from "ringa"

 

I would say, this ad should've been written like this:

Fin, stadig video. Ring med din iPhone.

 

I will also add attachment on the same image.

Please use plain text.

Re: Swedish spelling error.

A more direct and proper translation would be: Fint och stabilt videosamtal med iPhone. Notice that the ad in English never uses "call" in the sense of a verb but "video call" which in this case is a noun.

 

Your translation would in English be: Good looking, steady video. Call with your iPhone.

 

My suggestion is therefore:

Good looking, stable video call with iPhone. = Fint och stabilt videosamtal med iPhone.

Please use plain text.
