Can someone translate?

Hi all.

Here's the scoop. I have type 1 diabetes and travel with my insulin pump and remote meter. Last year leaving Cancun I had a bit of "lost in translation" trying to explain that my pump/meter can't go through x-ray.

Can someone translate the fact about my condition and the no x-ray requirement?

Thanks

My only concern now is that I get a bunch of replies and they're all different.

Tengo diabetis y por eso,
Tengo una bomba de insulina y no puede pasar por la maquina de Rayos X.

 

Good translation. The problem is saying it so it is understood. I suggest you write it down and show it to them. Now whether they can or will pay any attention to you is something else.

 

Thanks

Thanks Cunspin!

And yes, Jim, my plan is to print it out.
Laminate too

Thanks again.

Jimmy

 

Rayos X, Ha Ha

Rayos X, that's the name of a David Lindly album.

I have had good luck using this translation site when IMing with friends in Cancun:

the best site I found is http://www.wordreference.com.

There are many languages you can choose from and to. There is also a (or several) forums, I mostly use it French <-> English, the forum gives smart translations when it is a bit tricky, either way.

 

www.translate.google.com is the one I like.

 

Jimmy,

Print the following:

A quien corresponda,

Tengo diabetes tipo 1 y necesito viajar con mi bomba de insulina.
Favor de no pasarla por el scanner, pues los rayos x pueden dañarla.

Por su comprensión y ayuda, muchas gracias.

Atentamente,

Jimmy
