Spanish Speaker Wanted

[usable001]

One of my two lowest-rated chapters on Literotica includes a quick hookup between an English-speaking man and a Spanish-speaking woman, which I glossed over. Although the protagonist (and the author) does not speak Spanish, as an Easter egg for those who do, I thought I would include the actual words she says.

I have access to Google Translate; however, any computer program has its limitations. I'd love someone who speaks conversational Spanish (not "I had 2 years of Spanish in school) to look over the chapter when it is finished and modify what I wrote into something a Spanish-speaking woman would actually say.

To use an example from another story in the past (not on Literotica), in Portuguese:

I wrote: "Dragão, é um dragão filho da puta!"

I was told, "Is the person angry at the dragon? Otherwise I wouldn't use 'filho da puta'. That means 'son of a bitch' and has more or less the same connotation as in English -- it's an insult, not a show of awe or surprise." Plus, my punctuation on the above sentence was messed up.

So the line was corrected to: "Puta que pariu, é um dragão!"

I had a similar correction when Google Translate took the phrase "Stop being an ass" and suggested a word which meant "donkey" (something no one says in that context) instead of "asshole."

No one?

I'm not exactly active in this forum considering this is my first post here, but I guess I'm the only native Spanish speaker available.

I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but the word "asshole" as in the insult doesn't have an actual neutral Spanish translation, as the more direct translation comes from Spain's Spanish.

the insult doesn't have an actual neutral Spanish

My neutral, you mean gender neutral or something else?

I'd be willing to take a crack at it, but I'd want some other details first. Please DM and we'll get the ball rolling, although I will have some things to do in the next 2 hours, but after that I'll be online again.

Why are there Portuguese phrases here? That's a different language.

Region-neutral. Unlike English, Spanish almost has a dialect in every country where it is spoken, aside of the accent. For instance the direct translation for "asshole" is "gilipollas," but that word is only used in Spain. And the word "arrecho" means "horny" for the whole Latinamerican continent, except Venezuela, where it means "angry" or "good." Let's not even get started on how the word for "straw" that each country has means something completely different in another place, and it's almost always something dirty.

Shoot me a DM if you need help though.

The Portuguese was just an example of where I had the problem before, in a different story, where what a translation program spat out and how people actually talk is different.
