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

[Miguel C. <mi...@sa...>]

Hi Michael,
MY CONTEXT
I'm developing locally for a customer, and I hope I can finish on time to
get it together with the ]po[ 3.4 final version in september / october. I
need a better Spanish translation than the current one.

HOW I'M DOING:
What I'm doing is (as my first option) translating directly in l10n server (
http://l10n.project-open.net/), so I try to make translations only when I'm
sure that they are correct :) (I use to try locally the hard ones, and then
update de l10n server). I'm reviewing timesheet now. I'm interested in
workflow too, maybe I could check it in a few weeks, although I've
translated the most obvious words, I'm not 100% sure they are the best
translations.

It would be great If we can agree with a generic translation so that we can
update the l10n server to share with everyone in the next ]po[ version.

TIMESHEET TAB:
"Horas" might be the best (short) translation for Timesheet.

PAGE TITLE:
IMO, for page titles we don't need "hoja" word, so it could be "Control de
tiempos" or "Horas trabajadas" itself.

Cheers!
