English to Spanish: Guy Fawkes
General field: Art/Literary
Detailed field: Folklore

Source text - English
Soon, people began placing effigies onto bonfires, and fireworks were added to the celebrations. Effigies of Guy Fawkes, and sometimes those of the Pope, graced the pyres. Still today, some communities throw dummies of both Guy Fawkes and the Pope on the bonfire (and even those of a contemporary politician or two), although the gesture is seen by most as a quirky tradition, rather than an expression of hostility towards the Pope.

Translation - Spanish
Poco después se comenzaron a colocar efigies sobre las hogueras, y se añadieron fuegos artificiales a la celebración. Las figuras de Guy Fawkes, e incluso a veces las del Papa, decoraban las piras. Aún hoy, algunas comunidades arrojan muñecos tanto de Guy Fawkes como del Papa a la hoguera (e incluso de algún que otro político contemporáneo), aunque se ve el gesto como una tradición extravagante más que como una hostilidad hacia el Papa.

Source text - English
"Charles B. Foster is the local secret agent.
He lives in an undercover world of espionage, gadgets and secret missions.
You never know when he might pop in for a new haircut to disguise his appearance.
Favourite dance move: the splits."
"Mr. Stickle is the angriest vegetable in the village.
As the last barber found to his cost, Stickle's a very hard stick of celery to please.
Nothing makes him happier than being miserable!
Favourite fancy-dress costume: traffic warden's uniform."
"Mollyflower is a cheerful, happy soul who likes to see the best in everyone and everything.
Being with Mollyflower is like being smothered with the love of a mother, nurse, therapist and big soppy dog—all in one!
Favourite snack: cheese."
"Red Wedge is a veg on the edge!
He's the ultimate thrill seeker who's ready for any crazy adrenaline rush.
At least that's what he tells everyone; there are some in the village who say he's too afraid to even tie his shoelaces...
Favourite vitamin: A"

Translation - Spanish
"Carlos B. Fomento es el agente secreto local.
Vive en un mundo clandestino de espionaje, artilugios y misiones secretas.
Nunca sabes cuando puede aparecer para pelarse y así ocultar su apariencia.
Paso de baile preferido: la apertura de piernas."
"Don Matojo es la verdura con más mala uva del poblado. Como el último barbero encontró a sus expensas, Matojo es una rama de apio dura de pelar.
¡Nada le hace más feliz que estar amargado!
Disfraz preferido: uniforme de guardia de tráfico."
"Loliflor es un alma alegre y feliz a quien le gusta ver lo mejor de cada uno y cada cosa.
Estar con Loliflor es como estar cubierto por el amor de una madre, enfermera, terapeuta y un gran perro pachón - ¡todo en uno!
Postre preferido: el tocino de cielo con nata."
"¡Zanahorión, la verdura de la emoción!
Es el máximo buscador de emociones que siempre está listo para un subidón de adrenalina.
Al menos eso es lo que le cuenta a todos; hay quien dice que tiene demasiado miedo hasta para atarse los cordones…
Vitamina preferida: A"
