"¡Registrarse Ahora, Gringo Pendejo!" would be correct.... =)

Just my opinion...

Thanks everyone... She called me out, I have a lot of Spanish to learn! hahahaah

The "lovemedellin website" is a piece of crap made by some moron who has only been to Medellin once...you'd be better off reading the Lonely Planet advice from a guy who never even came here!

Let me guess... She's a native speaker right?

But you, having completed two years of Spanish in high school know better, right?

We must share the same male stupid ass stubborn gene.

Alternatives: "Regístrate ya", or the more formal "regístrese ya", are also correct, and in my mind more in line with real use. The use of "ahora" is driven by a desire to match the english "now"

Traducir las palabras exactamente es una mala idea.

Translate? Why is it a bad idea to translate the words exactly? My spanish is bad but is that you said?

"registrarse ya" , "registrese ya", "registrarse", "registrate.. You can check any spanish site to get an idea of what's frecuently used. I agree with bueno_pues, when you translate exactly what is used in english sites you may end up with weird words like in the search boxes it's frecuently used "Go" for the button to get the results, but when you put "Ir" in spanish IMHO that is not very clear, I prefer to use "Buscar" because that's the action that you want to do.

Take the red pill and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes

KentuckyGreg While it's difficult for many North Americans to understand, a lot of Spanish does not translate exactly to English, no matter the online translator. Same with other languages. You need to understand context in which the conversation was/is/will be occurring, and translate from there. You'll come close enough.

The "registrarse" question has been correctly addressed already.

Spanish really isn't that difficult to learn, once you open your mind without including preconceptions.

REGISTER NOW? ANOTHER OPINION TRY:

INSCRIBASE AHORA or INSCRIBENSE AHORA THE VERB IS "INSCRIBIR" AND IS REGULAR CONJUGATION

INSCRIBASE YA As a bilingual terminologist, that is how I would put it.

Two interpretations of the english "Register Now!".. "Register Now!"..first off, i would think that a written command to perform a website action is different from a verbal command to do a physical action....One can interpreted it in the frame of reference of something like "To register now!" indicating that if the site user wants to register at that time, he would need to click here "to register now!"....if you take the verbal command of "Register Now!" as in someone ordering them to register right at that moment, then the command version of the verb would probably be correct...but for internet purpose, you are not ordering someone to do something as in a command, but advising them that if they want to register now, here is how you do it.....on my website being developed, i use the verb "inscríbanse ahora" (plural for ustedes)...just food for thought....i think either way (inscribir, registrar, ahora, ya) everyone gets the intent......which is to "click here" ...=)

Just my opinion...

Chow down on this on my website being developed, i use the verb "inscríbanse ahora" (plural for ustedes)...just food for thought

Google Search

inscríbanse ahora = 21,800 add the word gringo = 205

registrese ahora = 1,680,000 add the word gringo = 16,000

Either way you’ll find more gringos using registrese.

Using singlular, true, by a plural noun is used before the verb on my registration button on the site....
