POMELO (EN EE. UU.)

Grapefruit is definitely the word we use the most in the U.S. I never heard of pomelo until recently, when I saw some in the grocery store. They are larger than grapefruits, but once they are peeled, the actual fruit is about the same as the grapefruit; it is the rind that is much thicker. So we use the two words, but to distinguish between "regular" grapefruit (pink or yellow) and those with thick white stuff between the rind and the fruit. But I think a lot of people still use the word grapefruit even when it is a pomelo (but not the other way around).

Sí, eso me parecía, que estaba equivocado... ¡Gracias! :)

Your dictionary is wrong - there's no difference between the US and the UK.

It's more likely to be referring to grapefruit, since they're much more common. My local supermarket sells both. But if you want to be exact, you could put "grapefruit/pomelo" and a translator's note explaining why.

Diría a priori leyendo vuestras dos respuestas, que es el paradisi, así que asumo que es "grapefruit". La pregunta es ¿en EE. UU. también usáis "grapefruit"? Tengo un dicicionario que indica que "grapefruit" es en UK, mientras que "pomelo" es en EE. UU., pero creo que no es así y que en EE. UU. "grapefruit" también se usa.

Es un listado de frutas, por lo que no hay contexto, aparece suelto. Es un cítrico. Eso es todo lo que sé, pero asumo que eso aplica a ambos.

I believe Spanish uses one word for two different fruits. Could you give us the sentence you're translating?

The pomelo is a separate species while the grapefruit is a hybrid resulting from crossing sweet orange (Citrus sinesis) with pomelo (Citrus maxima).
