Spanish term

contamos con...

Non-PRO Spanish to English Art/Literary Marketing
El contexto es:

"Entre nuestros miembros se encuentran los más destacados diseñadores de..."

Se me ocurre olvidarme del verbo y decir simplemente:

"Among our members are some of the most important designers..."

¿Alguna sugerencia?

Como siempre, MUCHAS GRACIAS por la ayuda.

se encuentran/contamos con Tenéis toda la razón. Buscando sinónimos escribí por error "se encuentran" en vez de "contamos con". Para el caso es lo mismo.
Entre nuestros miembros se encuentran/contamos con los más destacados diseñadores de..."

Gracias por la correción.

Among or amongst Not sure if this is the right place, but I think that Saul's neutral may be in reaction to María´s comment rather than original answer... Could you confirm or reject pls Saul?
Saul Philpott Sep 5, 2008:
where is 'contamos con'? I believe you're looking for a translation of 'se encuentran'?
Victoria Porter-Burns Sep 5, 2008:
?y 'contamos con....'? ?donde aparece?

You can meet the most outstanding designers among our members/ associates

we count on, I presume
Peer comment(s):

agree María T. Vargas : also "find" and it should be "amongst".

neutral Saul Philpott : amongst and among are largely interchangeable and I would not consider it an outright error
30 mins
disagree Victoria Porter-Burns : I agree with Saul's point re 'among' and 'amongst'. However, 'you can meet' in English does not have the same meaning in English as 'se encuentran' in Spanish. It should rather be 'can be found', like the French 'se trouvent'.

we are lucky enough to have...

Very free translation you might say, but this is the implication and it would work well here if you think you are free to take this liberty.

btw: I'm translating "contamos con" - se encuentran is just a swanky way of saying that "there are".
