"Lotería is a traditional Mexican game, similar to bingo, but using images on a deck of cards instead of balls with numbers. Lotería Go is a super-sized version of this that gets you outside and walking to neighborhood parks.
Can you find the Lotería cards we’ve hidden in the streets?"
… what’s the issue?
It’s already translated in English. Half of it is English and half Spanish.
Are you upset that the Spanish comes first? Are you upset that you’re seeing Spanish at all?
90% of the communications this agency puts out are probably English only - don’t get annoyed at the one time they put another language first.
Especially when talking about an event centered around loteria, a traditional game that probably only Spanish speakers have heard aboutI find it interesting that they spent a bunch of money to send a flyer to every household in Portland when current estimates are only 9% of the population speaks Spanish and only 1/3rd of that is less than fluent in English.
At the top left it says jueva loteria go. Directly below that is the translation: play loteria go. You are not being excluded.
Never said I was excluded, I would like to know how much money they spent sending a Spanish language flyer to a city that is only 9% Spanish speaking.
But it’s in English. So they sent it to the English speaking majority.
Again, what’s the issue?Not enough that it warrants attention. How much money do you think this campaign could cost? Also you don’t know if it’s targeted specifically to drive adoption from the Spanish speaking population. You’re all uptight for a nothingburger.

El juego parece muy divertido. Estoy feliz de ver que regresan más actividades al aire libre a las calles de Portland.
They don’t speak spanish either, there are so many mistakes on that flyer
Somehow that doesn’t surprise me!
