Argentina translation help, please.
 
My SO has a couple of diet restrictions, mostly concerning salt and cheese (the cheese because of the salt content). I've read on the travel boards that some people with allergies carry a little card with them that they can hand to waiters and I'd like to make something like this up for my SO.

Can someone please tell me how to say, in Argentinian Spanish:

No salt, please.
No cheese, please.
Thank you.

And thank you!

Sin sal, por favor.
Sin queso, por favor.
Gracias.

I don't think there's anything particular to Argentina here.

Thanks so much, Jeff.

You're welcome. You know, that is a great idea to have something printed up like that in the local language.

Have a good trip.

I agree, Jeff. I wish I could take credit for it but I've copied the idea from other, smarter people here.
Thanks again.

Just in case you want to learn a few other phrases, this link is quite helpful for the basic requirements of travel http://www.fodors.com/language/spanish/ there is also a link to an app

I downloaded Google Translate to my iPad and Android phone, and did need it a few times.

Great Thursdays , have just signed up! BTW, how do you find using Wordpress for your blog? Just tossing up whether to continue using travelpod for our next trip or maybe switching to wp.

Is all this technical talk I don't understand somehow travel related???

Just kidding! LOL!!!!

Wordpress is dead easy - basically you just type and upload photos. They do post an ad at the end of a post if you're using them for free - didn't used to do that and I only just discovered it as I usually use the site when I'm logged on and then I don't see it.

The search feature works well, and thay have good stats. They gave good spam blockers for comments, plus you can set it so you monitor all new posters. I do need to spend some time reorganising my blog, though, I'd like have side links for the different countries. Having seen what dogster did with his Wordpress blog I figure anything is possible!

(Totally travel related, avrooster, it's a travel blog, lol.)
