Description

  • I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates
  • This isn't a feature request
  • This is not a report about my app not working as expected

Hi Proton team,

I have a question about the Spanish localization used in Proton WebClients.

I've noticed that:

  • es-ES sometimes uses "Configuración" where I expected "Ajustes".
  • es-419 sometimes uses "Ajustes" where I expected "Configuración".

Is this intentional, or is the localization still being reviewed?

If it is intentional, could you explain the reasoning behind these translation choices?

Thanks!
