[GRASS-translations] Spanish translation

[Enrique Cerrillo Cuenca]

I collaborated in the translation several years ago, so I have no idea about who is currently in charge. During that time we send the “.po” files to Carlos Dávila, who was authorised to upload them in the repository. I’m also forwarding this email to the Spanish list, maybe someone can help you there.

Regarding to the translation of “location", you were right, Daniel. “Localidad” is actually a correct translation. However, this sense of the word is uncommon in Castilian Spanish (I don’t know in American Spanish, unfortunately). The best translation should be the one that sounds familiar to the most number of Spanish speakers around the world.

>> Buenas, estoy empezando a hacer la traducción al español de GRASS 7, encontré que en el glosario (http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Translation_Glossary <http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Translation_Glossary>) la traducción para "location" es "localización", sin embargo esa palabra es, a mi parecer, inadecuada, creo debería ser sustituida por localidad, que es una traducción más adecuada y da una mejor idea del concepto de location. ¿Alguien con alguna objeción o propuesta? si esto es aceptado, ¿cómo cambiar lo que está en el glosario?
