Update to some Spanish strings – Actualización de algunas cadenas en español

[larjonaMember]

Hello
I would like to update some Spanish strings, in order to get a more “neutral Spanish” translations.
I use http://open-tran.eu to get references from other projects.
Below you can find the current strings and the proposals.
I am not their original translator so I would like to obtain feedback from aafuentes or other Spanish people before overriding them.
Thanks

Abajo podéis encontrar las cadenas actuales y las propuestas.
Yo no fui la traductora original de esas cadenas, así que me gustaría recibir comentarios de aafuentes u otros hablantes de español, antes de sobreescribirlas.
Gracias

msgctxt “download_server”
msgid “Getting application from”
msgstr “Cogiendo el programa desde” >>> change to “Obteniendo el programa de”

msgctxt “download_alrt”
msgid “Getting application from:\n”
msgstr “Consiguiendo el programa desde:\n” >>> change to “Obteniendo el programa de:”

hi larjona!
i guess you are right its a more neutral spanish. I wonder if we can get es_ES and other es_* translations files on android
besides, I can see you made your master thesis on translations… so i guess you beat me to it… btw, i made mswl too. Im a student of the third year
The world is a small place i guess

Hello
I updated the strings.
About regional versions of Spanish, it seems that it is possible: the Android Localization guide says:
—
The language is defined by a two-letter ISO 639-1 language code, optionally followed by a two letter ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 region code (preceded by lowercase “r”).
—
So I think that if for example F-Droid developers create a file called /res/values-es-rAR/strings.xml with the same content as /res/values-es/strings.xml and upload it to Pootle, it would be possible for you (or other people) to localize F-Droid to Spanish-Argentina (starting from the standard Spanish translation to ease the work).
So I suppose you only need to request it as if it was a new language.
Regards
