Re: OT: Spanish (I think) translator help, please

I think I've got it, I don't speak much Spanish, but I've studies other romantic languages, so their are similar words and structure, so with looking some up I thin I've got it - though it doesn't actually help - see my translation!

2 bolsas rinden 100 playeras

2 bags conquers 100 t-shirts!


Su espuma dura y dura y hace que dos bolsas rindan 100 playeras

nothing instructional, but something along the lines of "the foam goes on and on, conquering 100s of t-shirts"

2 bolsas de 500 g rinden 100 playeras talla 6 con sucio medio, lavando
con carga de 2.4 kg siguiendo la cantidad recommendada en las
instrucciones

same as before followed by of size 6 with medium dirtiness, wash a load of 2.4kg using the volume recommended in the instructions. (2.5kg is a bit over 5 pounds, which is on the small side for even a small, low powered washing machine, which makes me wonder if it is intended for hand washing - do the pictures shed any light on this)

Si reusala solution anada 1/2 practi-taza mas. En Guatemala para tandas
pequenas use1/2 practi-tazapor cada 4,5 de ropa.

This sentence doesn't give general instructions, I'm pretty sure practi-taza is the name for a cup included with it, you might call it "practi-scoop", but it will be unique to that company, rather than some kind of size that you'd know if you speak spanish. The 2nd sentence then tells you that if you are in Guatemala to use 1/2 of of this measure per 4-5 items of clothing.

I suspect that the pictures are the main instructions referred to in the previous paragraph. Do you know which country this was intended for, I'm reading the way it refers to Guatemala, the way you might see something in the US say something specific about Puerto Rico. You say bags, can you feel what is in side them to see if there is a cup nestled in the top? If you can't feel that, then maybe these are supposed to be refills and the cup comes when you buy a box/bottle. As to how much the volume of a cup of this sort might be, I'm guessing around 6oz, but this brand could be different to brands I've used - though the volume per amount of clothes has seemed much of a muchness in the various places I've washed clothes. If the weight per load is 5lb for wherever this is from, I'm guessing a US front loader takes 15-20lb, so you'd multiply the amount needed by 3-4, but without the cup, that's going to give a wide range of values.
Sorry that all adds up to be not very helpful, I afraid I don't think the all the measurements you need are there. If it's definitely machine rather than handwash stuff, I'd open one bag and do a test load. I'd go for 2 american cups on a big load and 1.5 on a medium sized one.

Cheers
