Hey

I need this quote translating into spanish please:

"You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do"

I have been on a couple of translation sites and one came back with:

"Usted can' estructura de t una reputación en lo que usted va a hacer"

and the other with:

"No puedes construir una reputación en lo que vas a hacer"

Although they both translate roughly right i need it to be perfect as its for a tattoo ha ha I know there are also a coulple of types of spanish too ie European Spanish and Latino Spanish... Just so we are clear i need it in European.

Thanks in advance

A Henry Ford quotation as a tattoo

I'll get you the proper translation tomorrow, as although the 2nd one is correct, its not how you would say that quote.

Dont worry - its nothing to do with WHO said it as such - more a personal thing.

But really, i just need the translation, thanks x

I'm spanish!! It would be like this:

"Usted no puede construir su reputación basándose en lo que va a hacer"

or

"No puedes construir una reputación basándote en lo que vas a hacer"


The first one is in a more formal way, like speaking to a sir or an old person and the second one is like speaking between friends, like, "hey you cannot do that". Both are equally correct though.

Yep either of those are good apparantly, first one is probably most appropriate for a tattoo quote
