Spanish term

acercar intereses

Spanish to English Marketing
We are dealing with an institution in Spain: the sentence reads: nuestro objectivo es acercar intereses. Also Would you live Casa Asia as such and not translate casa? That is the name of the institution

Consult Couture Aug 6, 2002:

If Casa Asia is the proper name or title, I wouldn\'t translate.

en el sentido general...

Dejaría "Casa Asia" en español, como es nombre propio de la institución.

approximate interests

acercar intereses/approximate interests means to try to come near to what a given population has interest for, as a coordinator in, what sounds like, themed housing on a university campus would have to do.

..bring interests together...

? as far as Casa Asia is concerned, difficult to say - leave it as Casa Asia?

our objective is to connect interests/ put interests together

I'd leave Casa Asia without translation.
Good luck, Maria Burnett!
