    I'd think [sci.lang.translation] would be much more active,
    but I guess Twitter got most of our traffic,
    under #languages or #translation or something like that.


    White Toilet Tissue == Papel Higiénico Blanco

    Note the reversed word-order

    Is this also common in other languages
    (other than Spanish)?

    With 4+ words? --> NATO and OTAN

    which reminds me ...

    PIN (number) in French is
    (PIN in France)
    NIP (mainly in Canada?)

    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/PIN

    French: PIN (fr) m,
    numéro d'identification personnel m, NIP m

    "Que tengan un prospero ano nuevo!"

    <-- the position of
    [prospero] is curious, to me.


    This word order [prospero ano nuevo]
    -- Is this common in French and other languages?

    I think ...
    In English, we'd have it only in cases like
    [The great knight errant]
    [Our attorneys general]
