New Braunfels to Houston Airport Shuttle
Traveling from New Braunfels to Houston Airport (IAH) is more than just a journey across miles — it's a seamless transition ... ...
We need to translate the text content. The user asks for "NATURAL, native Latin American Spanish for travelers." So we need a natural-sounding Spanish translation, not overly literal. Keep all tags unchanged. Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged: So "New Braunfels", "Houston", "IAH", "William P. Hobby", "HOU", "San Marcos", "IAH" are proper nouns; we keep them unchanged. However, we need to translate the surrounding text. We also must keep the phone numbers and URLs unchanged. The snippet doesn't contain phone numbers, only URLs. So we leave those as is. Also keep any HTML tags exactly unchanged, and not alter the title attribute of elements? The user says keep city/airport names and codes unchanged; keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged. The title attributes are "Houston Airport Shuttle", "New Braunfels to IAH shuttle", "San Marcos to Houston shuttle". These are not city/airport names or codes, but they are descriptive text. The instruction: "Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is. Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged. Return ONLY the translated HTML." The title attributes could be considered part of the HTML attributes; they might be considered as part of the translation? The user didn't specifically say keep title attributes unchanged. They said keep city/airport names and codes unchanged, and phone numbers and URLs unchanged. So we should translate the title attribute text as well, but we need to preserve the city/airport names. So we can translate "Houston Airport Shuttle" to "Servicio de transporte al aeropuerto de Houston". However, the title attribute is not a city/airport name; it's a phrase describing the link. So we should translate it. However, to be safe, we might keep the title attributes unchanged because they are not phone numbers or URLs, but the instruction only says keep city/airport names and codes unchanged; it doesn't say we must translate them. It also says keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is. That means keep the tags and attributes exactly as they are. The content inside tags (text nodes) must be translated. The attribute values could be considered part of the markup; they are not tags but attributes. The instruction "keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is" includes the opening tags with attributes. So we must keep the attributes unchanged, including title attribute text. So we cannot change the title attribute values. This means we must not translate "Houston Airport Shuttle" etc. We need to leave them unchanged. However, the instruction is ambiguous. Let's examine the phrase "Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is." Usually, that means we keep the tags (i.e.,, , ) unchanged. However, the attribute values are not tags, but they are part of the markup. If we need to keep them unchanged, we cannot translate them. That would be contradictory because the user wants translation of the content, but they might not mind translation of the title attribute. Usually in translation tasks, you translate all visible text, but if the user says keep all tags exactly as-is, you might interpret that as you must not change any tags (including attributes). The phrase "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged" suggests that any proper nouns like city names should remain in English. However, "Houston Airport Shuttle" includes city name "Houston" which we keep unchanged. So it's okay. If we translate the title to Spanish, we would change "Houston Airport Shuttle" to "Servicio de transporte al aeropuerto de Houston". That would change the attribute text, which might be okay but may violate the instruction "keep all HTML tags exactly as-is." The safest approach is to keep the title attributes unchanged, as they are part of the markup. The visible text in the body is the main translation. So we will translate the visible text but leave the attributes unchanged.
We need to translate:
- "New Braunfels to Houston Airport Shuttle" into "New Braunfels a Houston Servicio de transporte al aeropuerto"? Actually the phrase is "New Braunfels to ... Airport Shuttle". We can translate as "Transporte desde New Braunfels al aeropuerto de Houston". But we need to keep the structure:
New Braunfels to Houston Airport Shuttle
. The visible text inside h2 is "New Braunfels to Houston Airport Shuttle". So we can translate it as "Transporte desde New Braunfels al Aeropuerto de Houston". But we must keep the around "Houston". The link is inside the h2, linking to the Houston page. The English text: "New Braunfels to Houston Airport Shuttle". So the visible text is "New Braunfels to Houston Airport Shuttle". We can translate to "Transporte desde New Braunfels al Aeropuerto de Houston". That changes "to" to "desde". But we need to keep "New Braunfels" unchanged. "Airport Shuttle" can be "servicio de transporte al aeropuerto". We can translate "Airport Shuttle" as "servicio de transporte al aeropuerto". So "Transporte desde New Braunfels al Aeropuerto de Houston". The tag encloses "Houston". So we need to place "Houston" inside the link. So we need to restructure the h2: "Transporte desde New Braunfels al Houston Aeropuerto"? Wait, that would be wrong. Actually the original structure is "New Braunfels to Houston Airport Shuttle". The link is around "Houston". So the text is "New Braunfels to Houston Airport Shuttle". If we translate "Airport Shuttle" as "servicio de transporte al aeropuerto", we might put it after "Houston". So the translated h2 could be "Transporte desde New Braunfels al Aeropuerto de Houston". But that changes the order of words relative to the link. However, the user wants translation that is natural and retains link. The link is anchored at the city name "Houston". So we need to maintain the link around "Houston". In Spanish, the phrase could be "Transporte desde New Braunfels al Aeropuerto de Houston". That's the entire phrase, with the link around "Houston". So the h2 content would be "Transporte desde New Braunfels al Aeropuerto de Houston". But that changes the structure: "de" appears before the link, then "Houston" is linked, then maybe "Aeropuerto"? Actually the original has "Airport Shuttle" after "Houston". In Spanish we can say "al Aeropuerto de Houston". So we can restructure to "Transporte desde New Braunfels al Aeropuerto de Houston". That seems okay: the link is around "Houston". The phrase "Aeropuerto de" is before the link, but the link is anchored at "Houston". The translation would be "Transporte desde New Braunfels al Aeropuerto de Houston". The meaning is "Transportation from New Braunfels to the Airport of Houston". The link is still anchored at "Houston". That seems acceptable. But we need to be careful: The link text is "Houston". In Spanish, we might want to keep "Houston" unchanged as it's a proper noun. So the link text stays "Houston". That's fine. Thus the h2 could be: "Transporte desde New Braunfels al Aeropuerto de Houston". The user may want the phrase "New Braunfels to Houston Airport Shuttle" translated to "Servicio de transporte desde New Braunfels al aeropuerto de Houston". However we need to keep the link. So we can do: "Servicio de transporte desde New Braunfels al Aeropuerto de Houston". That works. But we also need to translate the paragraph content. Let's translate the paragraph text: Original:Traveling from New Braunfels to Houston Airport (IAH) is more than just a journey across miles — it's a seamless transition between comfort and convenience. Texas Shuttle offers private door-to-door service from anywhere in New Braunfels and Comal County all the way to your departing terminal at George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) or William P. Hobby (HOU). Flying out of IAH from New Braunfels specifically? We run that route too. Heading the other direction first? Check our San Marcos to Houston shuttle for nearby I-35 corridor pickups.
We need to translate this into natural Latin American Spanish for travelers. We must keep the URLs unchanged. The link text "IA We need to translate the given HTML from English to NATURAL, native Latin American Spanish for travelers. Must keep all HTML tags exactly as-is. Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged. Return only the translated HTML. The user gave a snippet:Your driver picks you up at your home, hotel, or office in New Braunfels — whether you're near Gruene, Landa Park, the Schlitterbahn area, or anywhere out toward FM 306 or Canyon Lake — and heads east on I‑10. New Braunfels sits right on the I-10 corridor, which is the most direct path to Houston: about 177 miles in roughly 2 hours 44 minutes in normal traffic. We avoid I-35 north toward Austin entirely on this run, since I-10 East is materially faster and shorter for any pickup south of San Marcos.
The route in detail
From central New Braunfels we jump on I-10 East and follow it through Seguin, Luling, Schulenburg, Columbus, and Katy on the way into the Houston metro. Depending on your terminal and the time of day, we make one of three approaches into Houston: Heading there from Austin? See our New Braunfels to Austin shuttle page for direct service.
We need to translate into natural Latin American Spanish for travelers. Key points: The text is about a shuttle service from New Braunfels to Houston. We'll translate into native-sounding Spanish (Latin American). Keep HTML tags:, etc. Keep city/airport names unchanged: New Braunfels, Gruene, Landa Park, Schlitterbahn, FM 306, Canyon Lake, I-10, I-35, Austin, Houston, Seguin, Luling, Schulenburg, Columbus, Katy. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged. Keep all HTML tags as-is. Return only the translated HTML. We should produce Spanish translation, using natural phrasing, using appropriate Latin American Spanish idioms, perhaps using "nosotros" but no need to keep first-person as in original? Use "Su conductor" (usted) maybe. But the user says "for travelers." So we can translate to "Su conductor le recoge en su casa..." Keep nuance. We must ensure all HTML tags are unchanged: — may be left as is. But perhaps we could convert to "—" but keep same? The HTML has — which is the entity for em dash. Should preserve it exactly. So keep —. Also keep I‑10 (that's hyphen). The "I‑10" appears with a non-breaking hyphen. Keep that as is. The tags should remain unchanged. The title attributes are "Austin to Houston shuttle" and "New Braunfels to Austin shuttle". Those might be English; we could keep them unchanged as they are attributes for SEO, but they may be translated? The instruction says "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged." It does not explicitly say to keep title attributes unchanged. However, it's part of the HTML, not just text content. The instruction says "Keep ALL HTML tags exactly as-is." So all tags, including attributes, must stay unchanged. The title attributes are part of the tag; they must stay exactly. So we shouldn't translate title text. But perhaps we could translate the visible link text "Austin to Houston shuttle"? Actually the link text is inside ... but that is text. The instruction says "Translate this ... HTML from English to NATURAL, native Latin American Spanish for travelers." The visible text inside the anchor tags also should be translated. However the title attribute might be left unchanged to preserve original SEO. But to be safe, we may translate the visible text but keep the title attribute unchanged. Thus: Original visible anchor text: "Austin" (only appears inside with title attribute "Austin to Houston shuttle"). Actually the text inside is "Austin". That's city name, not to be translated. So keep "Austin". The title attribute is "Austin to Houston shuttle". That can remain unchanged. Second anchor: New Braunfels to Austin shuttle. Here the visible text is "New Braunfels to Austin shuttle". That is not a city name; it's a phrase that can be translated. Should translate to Spanish: "Servicio de shuttle de New Braunfels a Austin"? But we need natural Spanish for travelers. Could be "Shuttle de New Braunfels a Austin". Or "Traslado de New Braunfels a Austin". The instruction to keep city/airport names unchanged, but the rest of the phrase can be translated. So we might translate "shuttle" as "servicio de transporte" or "traslado". In Latin American Spanish, "shuttle" often remains "shuttle". Many Spanish speakers use "shuttle". But better to keep "shuttle" maybe as is. So "New Braunfels a Austin shuttle" maybe. Or "New Braunfels a Austin (shuttle)". We'll decide. Better to keep phrase like "New Braunfels a Austin shuttle" (the phrase is English but we could adapt). However, the instruction "Translate this ... HTML from English to NATURAL, native Latin American Spanish for travelers." So we must translate all English text into Spanish, except city names and codes. The phrase "New Braunfels to Austin shuttle" can be translated. Perhaps "Servicio de shuttle de New Braunfels a Austin". But "shuttle" is a loan word; we can keep "shuttle". Many Spanish websites say "shuttle". Let's translate as "Shuttle de New Braunfels a Austin". That's Spanish with English word "Shuttle". That seems natural. Now the paragraphs: Original:
Your driver picks you up at your home, hotel, or office in New Braunfels — whether you're near Gruene, Landa Park, the Schlitterbahn area, or anywhere out toward FM 306 or Canyon Lake — and heads east on I‑10. New Braunfels sits right on the I-10 corridor, which is the most direct path to Houston: about 177 miles in roughly 2 hours 44 minutes in normal traffic. We avoid I-35 north toward Austin entirely on this run, since I-10 East is materially faster and shorter for any pickup south of San Marcos.
We translate to Spanish: "Su conductor le recoge en su casa, hotel u oficina en New Braunfels — ya sea que se encuentre cerca de Gruene, Landa Park, la zona del Schlitterbahn o en cualquier lugar hacia FM 306 o Canyon Lake — y se dirige hacia el este por la I‑10. New Braunfels se encuentra justo en el corredor de la I‑10, que es la ruta más directa a Houston: unas 177 millas, aproximadamente 2 horas y 44 minutos con tráfico normal. Evitamos por completo la I‑35 hacia el norte en este recorrido, ya que la I‑10 Este es considerablemente más rápida y más corta para cualquier recogida al sur de San Marcos." Note: we keep city/airport names unchanged: New Braunfels, Gruene, Landa Park, Schlitterbahn, FM 306, Canyon Lake, I‑10, I‑35, Austin, Houston, San Marcos. Note the HTML entity I‑10 is a non-breaking hyphen between I and 10; in translation we can keep "I‑10". The dash is a special hyphen; but we should preserve the entity. For "I-10 East", we should keep "I‑10 Este"? Or "I‑10 Este"? Should keep the hyphen as entity? The HTML entity "I‑10" is in the original; we can preserve that in translation: "I‑10 Este". The translation uses "I‑10 Este" but we need to use the same entity. Use "I‑10 Este". So we keep it exactly. Also we keep the entity — for em dash. Second paragraph:The route in detail
=>La ruta en detalle
(or "Detalles de la ruta"). Then:From central New Braunfels we jump on I-10 East and follow it through Seguin, Luling, Schulenburg, Columbus, and Katy on the way into the Houston metro. Depending on your terminal and the time of day, we make one of three approaches into Houston: Heading there from Austin? See our New Braunfels to Austin shuttle page for direct service.
Translate: "Desde el centro de New Braunfels nos incorporamos a la I‑10 Este y la seguimos a través de Seguin, Luling, Schulenburg, Columbus y Katy, en ruta hacia el área metropolitana de Houston. Dependiendo de su terminal y de la hora del día, tomamos uno We need to translate the given HTML from English to "NATURAL, native Latin American Spanish for travelers". Keep all HTML tags exactly as-is. Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged. Return only the translated HTML. We need to produce translation of the text inside- and
- , , —, & etc. Keep any — and & unchanged? The spec says keep HTML tags exactly as-is, also keep city/airport names and codes unchanged, phone numbers and URLs unchanged. The text includes "IAH (George Bush Intercontinental)", "HOU (William P. Hobby)", "I-10", "Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8)", "JFK Boulevard", "IAH operates Terminals A, B, C, D, and E". Should keep those as is.
Make sure translation is natural and uses Latin American Spanish appropriate for travelers. Possibly we want to translate "To IAH (George Bush Intercontinental)" => "Hacia IAH (George Bush Intercontinental)". Or "Hacia el IAH (George Bush Intercontinental)". Or "Destino IAH (George Bush Intercontinental)". The rest we translate.
Also the final
Typical travel time & what affects it
-> "Tiempo de viaje típico y qué lo afecta". Or "Tiempo de viaje habitual y qué lo afecta". Keep the & unchanged. We need to keep the- and
- tags. Ensure no stray spaces or missing tags.
We'll produce translation.
Now, we need to pay attention to certain parts: "From I-10 East we transition to the Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) North, then exit at JFK Boulevard directly into the IAH terminal loop." In Spanish: "Desde la I-10 East tomamos la Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) hacia el norte, luego tomamos la salida hacia JFK Boulevard directamente al circuito de terminales del IAH." Could use "East" as "Este" but keep names? The road names are in English. Keep them unchanged as per spec? It says keep city/airport names and codes unchanged, but does not mention road names. However, probably better to keep them unchanged to avoid altering directions. But we could translate directions loosely: "Desde la I-10 Este..." We could keep "I-10 East" as "I-10 East". The phrase "I-10 East" is used, so we can keep "I-10 East" in the translation. However, we might want to adjust "I-10 Este" to match Spanish usage. But likely keep as "I-10 East". The translation can incorporate that as is, as the spec says keep city/airport names and codes unchanged, not road names. However, we might want to keep them as is for clarity.
Also "I-610 South (the South Loop) or Loop 610 East to Broadway". We could keep as is.
The phrase "Late night or heavy traffic" -> "Hora tardía o tráfico pesado". Or "Si es de noche o hay mucho tráfico". Keep natural.
"Drivers know to swing onto the Westpark Tollway or Grand Parkway (SH-99) to keep you moving." -> "Los conductores saben tomar la Westpark Tollway o la Grand Parkway (SH-99) para mantenerte en movimiento." Use "usted" maybe.
"Decisions are made live based on Houston TranStar and Google traffic data." -> "Las decisiones se toman en tiempo real basándose en datos de tráfico de Houston TranStar y Google."
Now the
part. Also note that the bullet list ends with
after each - . The
- is open, then three
- entries, then closing
- To IAH (George Bush Intercontinental) — From I-10 East we transition to the Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) North, then exit at JFK Boulevard directly into the IAH terminal loop. IAH operates Terminals A, B, C, D, and E; we drop you curbside at your departing airline's terminal. Terminal E and parts of D handle most international departures; A, B, and C handle the majority of domestic flights, including United's main hub at Terminal C.
- To HOU (William P. Hobby) — From I-10 East we take I-610 South (the South Loop) or Loop 610 East to Broadway and into the Hobby terminal. Hobby is a smaller, single-terminal airport with quick curbside drop-off.
- Late night or heavy traffic — If we hit a slow stretch on I-10 between Katy and the West Loop, drivers know to swing onto the Westpark Tollway or Grand Parkway (SH-99) to keep you moving. Decisions are made live based on Houston TranStar and Google traffic data.
Typical travel time & what affects it
Now translate. I'll produce translation preserving HTML tags. Potential translation:- Hacia IAH (George Bush Intercontinental) — Desde la I-10 East tomamos la Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) hacia el norte y luego tomamos la salida hacia JFK Boulevard directamente al circuito de terminales del IAH. El IAH cuenta con las terminales A, B, C, D y E; te dejamos en la acera frente a la terminal de tu airline. La terminal E y partes de la D operan la mayoría de los vuelos internacionales; las terminales A, B y C manejan la mayor parte de los vuelos nacionales, incluyendo el centro de conexiones principal de United en la terminal C.
- Hacia HOU (William P. Hobby) — Desde la I-10 East tomamos la I-610 South (el South Loop) o la Loop 610 East hacia Broadway y llegamos a la terminal de Hobby. Hobby es un aeropuerto más pequeño, de una sola terminal, con un descenso rápido en la acera.
- De noche o con mucho tráfico — Si encontramos un tramo lento en la I-10 entre Katy y el West Loop, los conductores saben tomar la Westpark Tollway o la Grand Parkway (SH-99) para mantenerte en movimiento. Las decisiones se toman en tiempo real basándose en datos de tráfico de Houston TranStar y Google.
Tiempo de viaje típico y qué lo afecta
Check for any missing tags. We need to keep the — unchanged, which we did. We need to preserve tags around "To IAH..." etc. But we translated "To IAH (George Bush Intercontinental)" into "Hacia IAH (George Bush Intercontinental)". That changes the text inside but we are supposed to translate the content. That's fine. Now check that we kept all tags exactly as-is. The original had- ,
- , , —, &. Did we keep tags? Yes.
Now check we have
- ...
with & unchanged. Now check any extra whitespace or missing tags: The original had a line break after
maybe? It just saysTypical travel time & what affects it
. We'll output exactly that. Now ensure the translation is natural Latin American Spanish for travelers. It's natural, we used "te dejamos" (informal) but we could use "lo dejamos" to be formal. Usually for a service they use "lo dejamos". But we can keep "te dejamos". "Te dejamos en la acera". That's okay. We used "Hacia IAH" as heading, "Hacia HOU". This is natural. Now ensure we didn't inadvertently translate "IAH" or "HOU" etc. Yes we kept them unchanged. "George Bush Intercontinental" remains unchanged. Check "William P. Hobby" unchanged. Check "Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8)" unchanged. Check "JFK Boulevard" unchanged. Check "I-10", "I-610", "Loop 610", "Broadway", "Westpark Tollway", "Grand Parkway (SH-99)" unchanged. Check "Houston TranStar", "Google". Unchanged. Now, the phrase "Terminals A, B, C, D, and E" we translated to "las terminales A, B, C, D y E". That's fine. Now check that we didn't include any stray tags or characters. Thus final answer: the translated HTML block as above. One more nuance: Should we keep "I-10 East" unchanged as "I-10 East"? We kept that. Could translate to "I-10 Este" but we kept English. Now check that the translation includes all bullet points. Yes. Now, check for any punctuation: In Spanish, we need to use proper Spanish punctuation, e.g., the dash "—" may be used as "—" as is, which is okay. The — is replaced with a dash (the HTML entity). We left that unchanged. That's fine. Now check for missing spaces: In the < The user wants translation of an HTML snippet from English to "NATURAL, native Latin American Spanish for travelers." Keep all HTML tags exactly as-is, keep city/airport names and codes unchanged, keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged. Return only the translated HTML. We need to translate the English text to Spanish. The audience: travelers. Must be natural Latin American Spanish. Ensure we preserve HTML tags, the content inside them must be translated. Also keep city/airport names (e.g., "New Braunfels", "IAH", "Houston", "Katy", "Brookshire"). Keep the phone numbers and URLs unchanged, but there are none in the snippet. Keep the HTML tags as-is. The snippet:In light traffic the New Braunfels to IAH run is right around 2 hours 44 minutes. During Houston's morning rush (roughly 6:30–9:00 AM heading inbound) or afternoon rush (3:30–7:00 PM), the same trip can stretch to 2 hours 56 minutes to about 3 hours 15 minutes. We pad pickups for early morning and rush-hour departures so you still arrive at IAH about two hours before a domestic flight or three hours before an international flight. Construction along I-10 around Katy and Brookshire can add 15–25 minutes — if a major closure is active the day of your trip your driver will message you with a revised pickup time the evening before.
How pricing works on this route
We need to translate everything except tags. Let's break it down. Paragraph: "In light traffic the New Braunfels to IAH run is right around 2 hours 44 minutes." Translation: "Con tráfico ligero, la ruta de New Braunfels a IAH es aproximadamente 2 horas 44 minutos." But "run" could be "viaje". "right around" can be "alrededor de". "In light traffic" can be "Con tráfico ligero". That's natural. Then: "During Houston's morning rush (roughly 6:30–9:00 AM heading inbound) or afternoon rush (3:30–7:00 PM), the same trip can stretch to 2 hours 56 minutes to about 3 hours 15 minutes." We need to translate "During Houston's morning rush (roughly 6:30–9:00 AM heading inbound) or afternoon rush (3:30–7:00 PM), the same trip can stretch to 2 hours 56 minutes to about 3 hours 15 minutes." In Spanish: "Durante la hora pico de la mañana en Houston (aproximadamente de 6:30 a 9:00 AM, con dirección hacia la ciudad) o la hora pico de la tarde (de 3:30 a 7:00 PM), el mismo viaje puede extenderse a 2 horas 56 minutos a unas 3 horas 15 minutos." But keep "heading inbound" meaning inbound to IAH? Actually inbound to the city? It's okay to translate as "con dirección hacia la ciudad". The phrase "heading inbound" means inbound to the city from the airport? The original: "heading inbound". Probably inbound to the airport? Actually the context: It's a shuttle from New Braunfels to IAH. The morning rush inbound could be inbound to the city (Houston). So "heading inbound" could be "con dirección hacia la ciudad". But if inbound to the airport, they'd be going from New Braunfels to IAH. So "heading inbound" might mean inbound to the city center? Actually "heading inbound" is ambiguous. In traffic reports, inbound means heading towards the city center. So inbound to Houston. That seems plausible. Thus translation: "Durante la hora pico de la mañana en Houston (aproximadamente de 6:30 a 9:00 AM con dirección hacia la ciudad) o la hora pico de la tarde (de 3:30 a 7:00 PM), el mismo viaje puede extenderse a 2 horas 56 minutos a unas 3 horas 15 minutos." Alternatively "aproximadamente" might be "alrededor de". But we used "aproximadamente". Keep HTML – as is: "6:30–9:00". Also "3:30–7:00". Keep the dash as –. Next sentence: "We pad pickups for early morning and rush-hour departures so you still arrive at IAH about two hours before a domestic flight or three hours before an international flight." Translation: "Nous agregamos tiempo extra a las recogidas para salidas en las primeras horas de la mañana y en horas pico para que llegues al IAH aproximadamente dos horas antes de un vuelo nacional o tres horas antes de un vuelo internacional." But Spanish: "Agregamos un margen extra a las recogidas para salidas tempranas y en horas pico para que llegues al IAH aproximadamente dos horas antes de un vuelo nacional o tres horas antes de un vuelo internacional." That is natural. But we need to keep "We pad pickups". The translation could be "Agregamos un margen adicional a las recogidas". That works. Thus: "Agregamos un margen extra a las recogidas para salidas en las primeras horas de la mañana y en horas pico, para que llegues al IAH aproximadamente dos horas antes de un vuelo nacional o tres horas antes de un vuelo internacional." Alternatively: "Programamos recogidas con tiempo adicional para las salidas tempranas y en horas pico, de modo que llegues al IAH aproximadamente dos horas antes de un vuelo nacional o tres horas antes de un vuelo internacional." Better to keep natural: "Programamos recogidas con tiempo adicional para las salidas tempranas y en horas pico, para que llegues al IAH aproximadamente dos horas antes de un vuelo nacional o tres horas antes de un vuelo internacional." That seems good. Next: "Construction along I-10 around Katy and Brookshire can add 15–25 minutes — if a major closure is active the day of your trip your driver will message you with a revised pickup time the evening before." Translation: "La construcción en la I-10 cerca de Katy y Brookshire puede agregar entre 15 y 25 minutos — si hay un cierre importante el día de tu viaje, tu conductor te enviará un mensaje con una nueva hora de recogida la noche anterior." We need to preserve the dash (em dash) as "—". In HTML it appears as —. The original uses —. So keep that. Thus final translation of paragraph and heading. Heading: "How pricing works on this route
" Translate to Spanish: "Cómo funciona el precio en esta ruta
" Alternatively "Cómo se determina el precio en esta ruta". But "Cómo funciona el precio en esta ruta" is natural. Now the entire HTML: need to keep all tags exactly as is. So we need to produce:Con tráfico ligero, la ruta de New Braunfels a IAH es alrededor de 2 horas 44 minutos. Durante la hora pico de la mañana en Houston (aproximadamente de 6:30–9:00 AM con dirección hacia la ciudad) o la hora pico de la tarde (de 3:30–7:00 PM), el mismo viaje puede extenderse a 2 horas 56 minutos a unas 3 horas 15 minutos. Programamos recogidas con tiempo adicional para las salidas tempranas y en horas pico, para que llegues al IAH aproximadamente dos horas antes de un vuelo nacional o tres horas antes de un vuelo internacional. La construcción en la I-10 cerca de Katy y Brookshire puede agregar entre 15–25 minutos — si hay un cierre importante el día de tu viaje, tu conductor te enviará un mensaje con una nueva hora de recogida la noche anterior.
Cómo funciona el precio en esta ruta
Check punctuation: The original had "the same trip can stretch to 2 hours 56 minutes to about 3 hours 15 minutes." I used "puede extenderse a 2 horas 56 minutos a unas 3 horas 15 minutos." That's fine. Check that we preserved HTML entities: – remains as – in the translated text. Also — is present. Make sure the text is natural and not overly literal. The translation must be for Latin American Spanish. "Con tráfico ligero" is okay. "La ruta de New Braunfels a IAH es alrededor de" is okay. Some might prefer "es aproximadamente". That's okay. Better to use "aproximadamente" to match "right around". But "alrededor de" is also fine. Use "aproximadamente". Use "aproximadamente" for "around". It's natural. Thus: "Con tráfico ligero, la ruta de New Braunfels a IAH es aproximadamente 2 horas 44 minutos." Good. Now adjust "During Houston's morning rush (roughly 6:30–9:00 AM heading inbound) or afternoon rush (3:30–7:00 PM), the same trip can stretch to ...". We'll translate "morning rush" as "hora pico de la mañana". "afternoon rush" as "hora pico de la tarde". For "heading inbound" we used "con dirección hacia We need to translate the HTML from English to natural, native Latin American Spanish for travelers. Keep all HTML tags exactly as-is.

- Book pickup at least 3 hours before a domestic IAH flight, 4 hours before international. That gives a comfortable buffer for I-10 traffic plus IAH security and walking time to the gate.
- Leave a wide window in summer. June through August the stretch between Brookshire and the Energy Corridor sees afternoon storms that drop visibility hard for 20–40 minutes.

But we need natural Latin American Spanish, maybe "Las tarifas se calculan por distancia y se cotizan como un precio fijo de puerta a puerta, no por pasajero." Could be "Las tarifas se calculan por millaje y se cotizan como un precio fijo de puerta a puerta, no por pasajero." But "millaje" is okay. Could also be "Las tarifas se basan en la distancia y se cotizan como un precio fijo de puerta a puerta, no por pasajero." "The two biggest levers are your pickup zip code (a Canyon Lake or FM 306 pickup runs slightly more than a central New Braunfels pickup because of the extra miles) and the vehicle size your group needs — a sedan for 1–3 passengers, an SUV or Sprinter shuttle for 4 or more." In Spanish: "Los dos factores más importantes son el código postal de recogida (una recogida en Canyon Lake o FM 306 cuesta un poco más que una recogida en el centro de New Braunfels debido a las millas adicionales) y el tamaño del vehículo que necesita su grupo — un sedán para 1–3 pasajeros, una SUV o una shuttle Sprinter para 4 o más." But we need to keep city names unchanged: "Canyon Lake", "FM 306", "New Braunfels". So "una recogida en Canyon Lake o FM 306 cuesta un poco más que una recogida en el centro de New Braunfels". Good. "Round trips booked together are cheaper than two one-ways, and the
- Book pickup at least 3 hours before a domestic IAH flight, 4 hours before international. That gives a comfortable buffer for I-10 traffic plus IAH security and walking time to the gate. In Spanish: "
- Reserve la recogida al menos 3 horas antes de un vuelo doméstico desde IAH, 4 horas antes si es internacional. Esto proporciona un margen cómodo para el tráfico de la I-10 más la seguridad del IAH y el tiempo de caminata hasta la puerta. "
- Leave a wide window in summer. June through August the stretch between Brookshire and the Energy Corridor sees afternoon storms that drop visibility hard for 20–40 minutes. In Spanish: "
- Deje un amplio margen en verano. De junio a agosto, el tramo entre Brookshire y el Energy Corridor experimenta tormentas por la tarde que reducen drásticamente la visibilidad durante 20 a 40 minutos. " We need to keep all HTML tags exactly as-is. So we need to replace the English text inside tags with Spanish translations, but keep the tags. Also note that the original has an HTML entity for arrow: "→" in the h3: "New Braunfels → Houston". We keep that. We need to ensure that the translation is natural, native Latin American Spanish. Avoid overly formal or Castilian Spanish. Use "usted" forms perhaps, but it's for travelers, so it's okay to use informal but polite. Use "tu" maybe? The original uses "your", so we can use "su" for formal or "tu" for informal. Since it's a service, likely formal. But Latin American Spanish often uses "usted" for services. Use "su" for "your". Also "book" -> "reserve", "pickup" -> "recogida". "domestic flight" -> "vuelo doméstico". "international" -> "internacional". "buffer" -> "margen". "traffic" -> "tráfico". "security" -> "seguridad". "walking time" -> "tiempo de caminata". "gate" -> "puerta". "summer" -> "verano". "wide window" -> "amplio margen". "stretch" -> "tramo". "afternoon storms" -> "tormentas por la tarde". "drop visibility hard" -> "reducen drásticamente la visibilidad". "20-40 minutes" -> "20 a 40 minutos". We need to be careful with punctuation: The original uses em dashes (—). In Spanish, we can use "—". The original uses "—" between clauses. We can keep the same dash or use "—". In Spanish, it's common to use "—". We'll keep the same. Also note that the original uses "IAH" and "HOU" which are airport codes. Keep them unchanged. Now, produce the final HTML with the translated text. We need to output only the HTML with translations. Let's write the translation step by step. First paragraph:
- : "Keep your phone off airplane mode on the return." Spanish: "Mantén tu teléfono fuera del modo avión en el regreso." Or "No pongas tu teléfono en modo avión al regresar." Then: "Your driver tracks your flight and texts you when they're 5 minutes from the IAH ground transportation curb at your arrival terminal." Spanish: "Tu conductor rastrea tu vuelo y te envía un mensaje cuando están a 5 minutos de la acera de transporte terrestre del IAH en tu terminal de llegada." Could use "curb" as "acera" or "zona de recogida." Use "acera de transporte terrestre" is okay. Third
- : "Group bags by passenger." Spanish: "Agrupa las maletas por pasajero." Then: "Two passengers with one carry-on each fits a sedan; four passengers with checked bags is an SUV or Sprinter. Tell us the headcount and bag count up front so we send the right vehicle the first time." Spanish: "Dos pasajeros con un equipaje de mano cada uno caben en un sedán; cuatro pasajeros con equipaje facturado requieren una SUV o una Sprinter. Indícanos el número de pasajeros y la cantidad de maletas desde el inicio para enviar el vehículo adecuado desde el primer momento."
Then after the unordered list,
What is the typical door-to-door travel time from New Braunfels to Houston Airport?
Spanish: "¿Cuál es el tiempo típico de puerta a puerta desde New Braunfels hasta el Aeropuerto de Houston?" Use same phrasing: "New Braunfels" unchanged. Thenabout travel time. Spanish: "Aproximadamente 2 horas y 44 minutos desde el centro de New Braunfels hasta el IAH con tráfico normal, o unas 2 horas y 56 minutos durante la hora pico de Houston. Las zonas más alejadas de New Braunfels (Canyon Lake, FM 306 al oeste) añaden entre 10 y 20 minutos a la recogida. Siempre planificamos según la hora de tu vuelo, no el promedio." Use – to preserve "10–20" perhaps keep as is. In Spanish, you could write "entre 10 y 20 minutos". The original uses – but we can preserve. Use same numbers. Then
Can you provide more details about your pickup service?
Spanish: "¿Puedes proporcionarnos más detalles sobre el servicio de recogida?" Or "Podrías darnos más información sobre tu servicio de recogida?" Keep as "Can you provide more details about your pickup service?" The phrase is ask for more details about pickup service. Spanish: "¿Puedes darnos más detalles sobre el servicio de recogida?" Or "¿Podría darme más información sobre el servicio de recogida?" Usually "service" is "servicio". So "sobre el servicio de recogida". ThenYes. Our New Braunfels to Houston Airport shuttle service is designed around your schedule. We arrive at your specified address on time, equipped with the space for all your luggage. You'll get a confirmation text the day before with your driver's name and ETA, and a second text when the driver is on the way. Call or book online to confirm your pickup address and time. Spanish: "Sí. Nuestro servicio de shuttle desde New Braunfels hasta el Aeropuerto de Houston está diseñado según tu horario. Llegamos a la dirección que nos indiques puntualmente, con espacio suficiente para todo tu equipaje. Recibirás un mensaje de confirmación el día anterior con el nombre de tu conductor y la hora estimada de llegada, y un segundo mensaje cuando el conductor esté en camino. Llama o reserva en línea para confirmar la dirección y la hora de recogida." We need to keep everything exactly as original in terms of HTML tags:

In Spanish: "Agregue el códigoNONSTOPpara una mejora gratuita a servicio directo sin escalas." Or "Añada el códigoNONSTOPpara un upgrade gratuito a servicio directo sin escalas." But "upgrade" is used in Spanish. Could be "para un upgrade gratuito a servicio directo sin escalas." "For a real number, plug your full pickup address and IAH (or HOU) into our online booking tool — the quote is instant and no account is required."

We'll produce translation.
Now, we need to pay attention to certain parts: "From I-10 East we transition to the Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) North, then exit at JFK Boulevard directly into the IAH terminal loop." In Spanish: "Desde la I-10 East tomamos la Sam Houston Tollway (Beltway 8) hacia el norte, luego tomamos la salida hacia JFK Boulevard directamente al circuito de terminales del IAH." Could use "East" as "Este" but keep names? The road names are in English. Keep them unchanged as per spec? It says keep city/airport names and codes unchanged, but does not mention road names. However, probably better to keep them unchanged to avoid altering directions. But we could translate directions loosely: "Desde la I-10 Este..." We could keep "I-10 East" as "I-10 East". The phrase "I-10 East" is used, so we can keep "I-10 East" in the translation. However, we might want to adjust "I-10 Este" to match Spanish usage. But likely keep as "I-10 East". The translation can incorporate that as is, as the spec says keep city/airport names and codes unchanged, not road names. However, we might want to keep them as is for clarity.
Also "I-610 South (the South Loop) or Loop 610 East to Broadway". We could keep as is.
The phrase "Late night or heavy traffic" -> "Hora tardía o tráfico pesado". Or "Si es de noche o hay mucho tráfico". Keep natural.
"Drivers know to swing onto the Westpark Tollway or Grand Parkway (SH-99) to keep you moving." -> "Los conductores saben tomar la Westpark Tollway o la Grand Parkway (SH-99) para mantenerte en movimiento." Use "usted" maybe.
"Decisions are made live based on Houston TranStar and Google traffic data." -> "Las decisiones se toman en tiempo real basándose en datos de tráfico de Houston TranStar y Google."

We need to translate the content while preserving HTML tags. Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged (IAH, HOU, New Braunfels, Houston Airport, San Antonio, Round Rock, etc.). Keep phone numbers unchanged: (817) 403-6196. Keep URLs unchanged. Keep promo code "ONLINE" unchanged. Also — is a dash. Keep as is. We need natural Latin American Spanish, targeting travelers. So we can adapt phrasing. Let's translate each element.How does Texas Shuttle handle flight delays?

But note: we need to keep HTML tags exactly as-is. The question includes thetags. Should we keep the HTML entity — as is, yes. The rest as is. Now translation for paragraph 1: "On the inbound side we track your flight number live, so a delay automatically reschedules your pickup at IAH or HOU — you don't need to call. On the outbound side, if your flight gets delayed and you need a later pickup from New Braunfels, just text or call us and we'll move your pickup window. We don't charge a fee for weather or airline delays." Latin American Spanish: "En cuanto a la llegada, rastreamos tu número de vuelo en tiempo real, así que si hay un retraso, tu recogida en IAH o HOU se reprograma automáticamente — no necesitas llamar. En cuanto a la salida, si tu vuelo se retrasa y necesitas una recogida posterior en New Braunfels, simplemente envíanos un mensaje o llámanos y moveremos la ventana de recogida. No cobramos ningún cargo por retrasos causados por el clima o la aerolínea." Make sure to keep IAH, HOU, New Braunfels unchanged. Also keep dash entity — as is. Paragraph 2: "To book your private shuttle from New Braunfels to Houston Airport, call us at (817) 403-6196 or visit our website to make a reservation online. Use promo code ONLINE for 10% off your round trip." Spanish: "Para reservar tu shuttle privado desde New Braunfels al Aeropuerto de Houston, llámanos al (817) 403-6196 o visita nuestro sitio web para hacer una reservación en línea. Usa el código promocional ONLINE para obtener un 10% de descuento en tu viaje de ida y vuelta." We keep "Aeropuerto de Houston" maybe keep "Houston Airport"? Actually original "Houston Airport". Should we keep "Houston Airport"? The user wants city/airport names unchanged. That includes "Houston Airport" as a phrase? They said city/airport names and codes unchanged. "Houston Airport" is a name, but the translation may be optional. We can translate "Houston Airport" as "Aeropuerto de Houston". Since it's a location, we could leave as "Houston Airport" as is. But to be safe, we could translate to "Aeropuerto de Houston". The instruction says "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged". So "Houston Airport" is a name; we could keep it unchanged. But also "New Braunfels" unchanged. "IAH" unchanged. "HOU" unchanged. "San Antonio", "Round Rock" unchanged. So we can keep "Houston Airport". However "Houston Airport" may be ambiguous: they likely refer to IAH or HOU. But it's fine. Thus we could keep "Houston Airport". Keep "Aeropuerto de Houston"? It might be considered a translation of "Houston Airport", but instruction says keep city/airport names unchanged, not necessarily translation. The phrase "Houston Airport" is the name. Should we preserve it? Probably keep "Houston Airport". Let's keep as "Houston Airport". But the Spanish translation may refer to "al Aeropuerto de Houston". That might be a translation of "Houston Airport". But it's a location; maybe it's fine to keep "Houston Airport". I think it's okay to translate it as "al Aeropuerto de Houston". Since the phrase "Houston Airport" is a location, we can translate it as "al Aeropuerto de Houston". The instruction says "city/airport names and codes unchanged". That might refer to city names and airport codes, not the full phrase. "Houston Airport" is a phrase that includes city name. So we can translate the rest but keep "Houston" as is. Let's translate "Houston Airport" to "Aeropuerto de Houston". That's still referencing "Houston". But it's probably acceptable. We need to be careful: "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." This could mean keep them in the same language? Hard to interpret. Usually translation of location names is permissible; but they might want the name unchanged (like "Houston Airport" unchanged). For safety, I'd keep "Houston Airport" unchanged, i.e., not translate. But Spanish might prefer "Aeropuerto de Houston". However it's a location name. I think it's safe to keep as "Houston Airport". Let's keep as "Houston Airport". So translation: "Para reservar tu shuttle privado desde New Braunfels al Houston Airport, llámanos al (817) 403-6196 o visita nuestro sitio web para hacer una reservación en línea. Usa el código promocional ONLINE para obtener un 10% de descuento en tu viaje de ida y vuelta." Check if any HTML entity in that paragraph: None. Paragraph 3: "Coming from the wider South Texas metro? Our San Antonio to Houston shuttle serves nearby travelers heading the same direction." Translation: "¿Vienes desde el área metropolitana más amplia del sur de Texas? Nuestro shuttle de San Antonio a Houston atiende a viajeros cercanos que van en la misma dirección." Keep "San Antonio to Houston shuttle" as anchor text? The anchor is San Antonio to Houston shuttle. The anchor text should be translated? The instruction says keep all HTML tags exactly as-is, keep city/airport names unchanged. The anchor text includes "San Antonio to Houston shuttle". The phrase "San Antonio to Houston shuttle" contains city names; we keep those unchanged, but we may translate "shuttle"? Probably not needed. The title attribute "San Antonio to Houston shuttle" also includes city names; we can keep as is. The anchor text could be left unchanged as "San Antonio to Houston shuttle". But translation might change the displayed text to Spanish? The user wants NATURAL Latin American Spanish for travelers, but also says "Keep city/airport names unchanged". The anchor text is "San Antonio to Houston shuttle", which is a phrase describing the route. The instruction is to keep tags exactly as-is, which includes anchor text content. They didn't explicitly say not to translate anchor text, but they said keep city/airport names unchanged. The anchor text includes "San Antonio to Houston shuttle". If we translate "shuttle" to "shuttle"? In Spanish it's "shuttle" (loanword) or "servicio de transporte". Many travelers use "shuttle". It's okay to keep as "San Antonio to Houston shuttle". The anchor text is not a city name. The phrase "San Antonio to Houston shuttle" is not a city name; it's a description. The instruction is ambiguous. But to be safe, we could translate the anchor text to Spanish: "shuttle de San Antonio a Houston". But then we change the anchor text, but that's not strictly a city name. The instruction is "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." That includes "San Antonio", "Houston". So "San Antonio to Houston" could be considered city names. However, the phrase "San Antonio to Houston shuttle" includes "San Antonio", "Houston". We could translate "shuttle" while preserving city names: "shuttle de San Antonio a Houston". That would be acceptable. The title attribute also includes "San Antonio to Houston shuttle". It might be okay to translate it as "shuttle de San Antonio a Houston". The anchor text would be "San Antonio to Houston shuttle". Or we can keep as is. Since they ask to translate from English to NATURAL Latin American Spanish, they
