Univision launches new video section
Michael Gay June 12th, 2007
Even though I can’t really read the site too well, I can see that Univision.com has launched an impressive broadband video section with beautiful women in bikinis. There are tons of videos, although the primary navigation is a vertical nav bar along the side. The video quality looks decent, it’s Flash and 400×300 pixels. The most interesting thing I see is a group of sections called “En Tu Ciudad,” which is “In Your City” for those who didn’t take Spanish in high school. It looks like they are pulling in video from their local stations in a number of U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, and some new city called Nueva York. Maybe our talented Spanish-speaking readers can tell us if they see anything else cool we should mention!

I work for that company and “Nueva York” has always bothered me…

It’s also Nova Iorque in Portugese and Novum Eboracum in neo-Latin. (Eboracum, or land of Yew trees, is York, England.) You’ll sometimes see Nouvelle York in French and Nuovo York in Italian.
We, of course, translate practically every nation and major city’s name in the world.
Spanish speakers also translate United States (as does almost everyone else), New Jersey (Nueva Jersey), Philadelphia (Filadelfia), New Orleans (Nueva Orleáns), Memphis (Menfis), etc.
This concludes today’s lesson in Romanic languages.
