Spanish term
comunicación
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Similar questions have been asked before and I have searched the glossaries for a suitable translation, but I´m feeling fussy today. Below is the example I´m stuck on right now, but there are others through out the book:
Por esta razón, los mercados han sido siempre una referencia de
centralidad en **función de las comunicaciones** y de los medios de transporte disponibles en cada momento.
Some dictionaries give examples in English like "communications b/t cities", but as a native US speaker I would never say that or that something is "well-communicated".
any suggestions for example posted here? connections, routes? I´m stuck.
gracias a todos y todas

varying according to the communication and transportation means
...varying according to the communication and transportation means available at each given moment
I understand this means that markets have always been a central point of reference but subject to variations derived from the different means available. That is, the telex era, the telefax era, the SMS era, and their counterparts in transportation means.

COMMUNICATION HUBS
Allow me to give you a suggestion: dictonaries are a last resort. You are better off finding similar text. Read texts through google with similar contexts and other terms in your text and you are more apt to find the correct term. It's more about what you already know rather than what's in dictionaries, which usually do not work well.

: NO - hubs are central points - here they are talking about things that interlink places. So much forcast-iron certainty
