Re: [project-open-localization] translation of Timesheet into Spanish

[Euro T. S.L. - M. M. M. <m.m...@eu...>]

Hi Miguel,

I agree with you entirely. My translation was "Hoja de tiempos" so far, 
but this was for internal use, and all the members of our team know what 
is meant with this term. The term I was about to use is "Hoja de control 
de tiempos", which is rather related with "Métodos y tiempos" 
(Production Planning) but I think fits in here.
"Hoja de control de tiempos" is obviously too long for the menu tabs.
"Horas" and "Horas de trabajo" (or "Horas trabajadas") is fine in my 
oppinion.

BTW Are you translating locally? I have my own Spanish version of the 
user interface (have been using it since 2005), and it would be great if 
we could coordinate/merge our translations.

Best,

Miguel
