Yesterday we were talking about geographical names in our translation class and today (while searching for a good translating forum) I came across this very interesting post on how to say the name of Equador in Spanish ( El Ecuador ).
The article is in Spanish, but I'm writing this post in English in case our Korean or Mandarin students check the blog. When in doubt about how to say the name of a country in any particular language, one of the things you can do is to check dictionaries, forums and sources from the target language. As the article says, one of the indicators of correctness of a term is USE by educated people in that country.
