German term

Fabrik von Mägeln und Pontas de Paris

German to English Bus/Financial Marketing
I translate Portuguese and Spanish into English, normally, but this little phrase 'inadvertently' popped up in a series of company plaques and certificates throughout my translation.

Instead of complaining to the agency, I thought I would ask for your help, please :)

R. Alex Jenkins (asker) Sep 17, 2008:
'Mägeln' should read 'Nägeln'. Yes, from my research, I agree, but it's difficult to tell from the embedded photo/image, as it really does look like an 'M'. However, 'und' is definitely 'und', no doubt about that.
writeaway Sep 17, 2008:
and 'und' means and, so that's wrong too.
Ulrike Kraemer Sep 17, 2008:
"Mägeln" is wrong and should read "Nägeln".
