Hola! Sin saber aún qué significa nb, yo pensaría que el 2% se refiere a un porcentaje del total de habitaciones. Es decir, que mínimo un 2% debe cumplir con estos requisitos.
Como el texto pone "2% or 2nb" 2nb debe significar alguna medida alternativa que no es porcentual pero que establece el mínimo de habitaciones que debe ser así.

Es una idea! Suerte

I was just joking!! Sorry, it was just a stupid joke.

Taña Dalglish Feb 2, 2010:

@ Silvia Absolutely not! You should make a note of it in your text or send your client a note that there is an error in your text. "Earring" makes no sense in this context. Earring is a piece of jewellery!

I think perhaps... ... the author's secretary/typist was hard of earring.

Silvia Calderón (asker) Feb 2, 2010:

Not my error The funny thing is that the error is in the manual. I just copy & paste it.
Do you suggest I should translate it literally? :-)

Taña Dalglish Feb 2, 2010:

Thanks Silvia Note, however, error in the English text "earring" should be "hearing" (hard of hearing, i.e. almost deaf).

More info Tenés razón. Me olvidé el contexto:
Es un manual con las especificaciones para contruir un hotel y esta parte se refiere a las personas discapacitadas.
Todo el párrafo dice:
> Bedrooms specially designed for disabled people:
(“Accessible Bedrooms”)
• Bedrooms specially designed & equipped for wheelchair
bound people shall be provided to a similar level of
decoration and facilities to regular rooms. (Minimum 2%
or 2nb). They shall also allow use by hard of earring or poor
sighted people.

@ Silvia Porfa, can you please provide us with more context. What does a "minimum 2%" relate to? What comes after? Thank you.
