Translation bug for es_ES

Hi:

This is a call-to-action. It's OK. But:

Is in imperative. It's actually telling the users "DO NOT participate in the census".

I just thought you'd like to hear about this. It's been there forever (I started using Zorin with version 16, but it was about time to spill the beans :slight_smile: )

Cheers,

David

That is actually correct. You mark the Option to not using this Census Stuff.

Yes, you do, but the problem is in the inference.
If you tell someone not to partake in the census, you are inviting them not to, as if it were a nasty thing (which is not, of course)

I suggest "No particiPAR en el censo" so as to make it a proper call-to-action.
it's in the infinitive, just like in English, instead of present simple, which sounds like a smooth invitation.


TL;DR

By saying "No participes en el censo", you are not calling to action, but advising the user what to avoid. It sounds really, really awkward.

Spanish is my mother tongue. I know what I'm talking about.

Best,

David

I didn't denied that.

Well, it might not be the best Wording because You have to activate the Mark to disable the Census.

It is misleading. And it is up to you if you refuse to clarify it. This is a disgrace that goes against the inexperienced user's interests.

And that's all I have to say about it. It is up to you to do whatever you will with Zorin OS.

I'm not a Zorin Developer. So, I can't change anything. And I do understand Your Point and agreed here:

You have posted this here as Feedback which is the right Way to adress that. Now, it is up to the Developers if they decide to change that. But I don't have to do something with this Decision Process.

Yep, you're right.

Please accept my apologies - I think I used an inappropiate tone.
Thanks for your understanding :slight_smile:
