Glossary entry (derived from question below)
English term or phrase:
2/3 cup light cream
Spanish translation:
2/3 de taza de crema de batir descremada
English term
2/3 cup light cream
I am translating some recipes and I have a doubt about 2/3 cup light cream. Could it be "2/3 taza de nata desnatada"??
Thanks

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

2/3 taza de nata ligera
Cream is classified by its butterfat content. Heavy cream, used for whipping, is 36 percent butterfat. Light cream, sometimes called coffee cream or table cream, is 18-30 percent butterfat. If light cream is unavailable, use equal parts heavy cream and half-and-half."

: Sí, estoy de acuerdo. Ayer unas pobres compatriotas tuyas intentaban encontrar "sour cream" en un bien surtido supermercado español. Les dije que lo podían intentar, pero que desconfiaba de que la encontraran en España. ¡Adiós a sus recetas! ;-)

Me acabo de dar cuenta de que aquí (en España) se le llama "nata para cocinar", en contraposición con la nata para montar, que tiene mayor contenido en grasa; supongo que es eso a lo que se refiere la receta (de hecho, aparece así en los bricks de nata).
2/3 de taza de crema liviana/ nata liviana
En otros países de habla hispana se usa la palabra nata.
