#587 Modal Windows Spanish translation issue

[DanielAjoy]

Where it says:

La modalidad de las ventanas

It should say:

Ventanas modales

[David Costanzo]

"La modalidad de las ventanas" is a section title that I translated from Modal vs. Modeless Windows (fmslogo.sourceforge.io). The section explains the difference between modal and modeless windows, so "ventanas modales" doesn't capture the spirit of the section.

I expect that you mostly find the word "modalidad" to be awkward. "Window modality" also sounds awkward in English.

What do you think of the following choices:

1. "Ventanas Modales y No Modales"
2. "Ventanas Modales y Ventanas No Modales"
3. "Ventanas Modales vs Ventanas No Modales"
4. "Modal y No Modal"

Note that Rosario left the section title in English and translated "modal" and "modeless" as "modo modal" and "modo modeless", respectively. That's another possibility.

Note that it's hard for me to find correct translations of technical terms. I usually defer to Wikipedia, but I could only find one reference there, in the page for Dialog Box.

I'd go with option 1

Ventanas Modales y No Modales
