Unable to add note For some reason (connection? data defect?), I was unable to finish the note in my translation entry, nor was I able to add a second note to explain it (I tried again just now, with no luck). In any event, the note was to clarify the truncation in the proposed translation. I meant to write:

rebar (reinforced bar) specialist

Proposed translations

Selected

rebar (re) specialist

Rebar, short for reinforcing bar designates the steel rods used to create the steel mesh cages which transform mere concrete into reinforced concrete. In Portuguese, a skilled worker who assembles such cages is called "armador de ferro"

Typo: I left the expression in parethesis incomplete. I meant to say:
- rebar (reinforcing</i? bar) specialist
My apologies.

I hope this one gets through ; -)
