Marcella S. (asker) Sep 30, 2008:
I do not understand the reason the field for my request for translation help for the following term has been changed from Art/Literary to Tech/Engineering and General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters to Forestry / Wood / Timber
I am looking for a term that is being used by the media (Reuters, BBC, Estado, Globo, ect), by journalists, not technicians.
