Help - spanish translation

What is the equivalent to "Under Construction" in spanish? Translation sites say it's "en construcción", but I don't know if that is grammatically correct.

 

[Vorty]

It's correct.

 

[droplister]

that would work, if you literally wanted to say under contruction, bajo de construcción or bajo construcción maybe, hopefully someone more fluent will post

i would go with bajo construccion sometimes also referred to as abajo although "en" is spanish for "in" so in construction is applicable here also

Thanks for the responses...

"en construcción" is the correct expression, and it's what is used on pages that are, Under Construction

Bajo construccion is better than en construccion.

"abajo or bajo construccion" is used at some construction sites for (real) property vs. virtual property

I'm confused. Here's the results from Google:

"en construccion" 2,120,000
"bajo construccion" 71,600

there are many variations of spanish spoken in different parts of the world. my favorite is "alto" which is stop in mexico but means "high" in south america.

if you are going for key words i would obviously go with the higher overture; if you look up the term thru various spanish
translators on the net you get both definitions as you have listed above

"en construccion" 2,120,000
"bajo construccion" 71,600

Well no reason to be confused, like I said, "en construccion" it's what's used more and therefore those overture numbers. Both work, but, I would go with the higher ov

Makes sense to me... Thanks.

"En construcción" - Under Construction, last time I checked, in use in Mexico, Spain, Chile. Anywhere else, I cannot assure (of course it's the same).

PS. Now I know why so many people register 'pseudo spanish' worthless domains. 'bajo construcción'... Jeez!.

En Construcción.

"en construccion" 2,120,000
"bajo construccion" 71,600

It shouldn't be too confusing. Or are you just trying to be witty?

On page 1 of results for "en construccion", only 1 page is actually under construction. The rest are actually using under construction in a phrase.

On page 1 of results for "bajo construccion", 9 of the pages are under construction. The remaining 1 is an under construction animation.


Obviously it's a personal choice.
