global moment

English to Spanish Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
My translation: momento global

The complete phrase says: "Sport Relief will be the third global moment for our international audiences to enjoy this year."

Any suggestion to make it less literal? Thanks

acontecimiento mundial / evento mundial

Epenso:

We have analyzed your original expression: “global moment” and your textual translation: “momento global”.

Both words: “momento” and “global” exist in Spanish but they have different meaning than “moment” and “global” in English.

In Spanish language, the Real Academia Española says “global” is “referente al planeta o globo terráqueo” and “mundial” is “perteneciente o relativo a todo el mundo”.

For this reason, in some Spanish-English dictionaries, one of the translation of “global” to Spanish is: “mundial” when we talk about the people, the people of the word. In your case, you reference sport activities (Sport Relief).

For the other side, in Spanish, the word “global” is used to reference global catastrophes or subjects related to astronomy, geology, anthropology and other disciplines that include the planet.

We believe that the normal translation of “global” from English to Spanish in cases like yours is “mundial” because in Spanish “global” is related to the planet and “mundial” is linked with the people of the world.

About, “moment” translated to “momento”, also in your case, we think better thanslations are: “acontecimiento” or “evento” (both very related with sports.

In summary, about suggestion includes 3 alternatives:

FIRST SUGGESTION: “acontecimiento mundial”
SECOND SUGGESTION: “evento mundial” (In countries like Cuba, El Salvador, México, Uruguay, Venezuela and others, they frequently use the word “evento” like a special moment. )
THIRD SUGGESTION: “momento mundial”

We hope our analysis and suggestions help you in your work.

Thank you,
