Translating News

One of my plans for next year is to spend some time volunteering for the Medellín-based news website, Colombia Reports (colombiareports.com). So, I was delighted when the website founder, Adriaan Alsema, asked me to translate an article from Spanish for the English-language site.

The article, on the recent weapons ban imposed by Bogota mayor, Gustavo Petro, is by the author Felipe Risascos Montoya   (https://twitter.com/#!/feliperiascos) and it reads like this…

Bogotá Indefensa.

Here is my translation (headline and opening line by Colombia Reports editorial staff)
