Spanish term

cables masivos

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Media / Multimedia
Wikileaks, sin ir más lejos, ha desenmascarado conductas que han generado descontento, impotencia y cierta desilusión hacia la política, ahondando ya en un sentimiento generalizado antes de las fugas pero que ante la publicación de **cables masivos*** en los medios de comunicación cayó hasta mínimos históricos, situándose en un 32% en junio de 2010, según datos del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS).

Yes Phil It should indeed. However, In Spain such informality seeps everywhere and the consensus seems to be that "everyone knows what it means" is more important than grammatical accuracy/consistency.

@ Phil Good point. Will check with client. Have already come across some mistakes.

Shouldn't it be "publicación masiva de cables?"
