talón

09:40 May 13, 2023 

The term "talón de pago" cropped up today in software strings I'm translating. There is no useful context, the term appears on its own, so I thought it might be a cheque used as a method of payment, but Google says "pay stub" which would be a receipt or counterfoil, as Phil mentioned below. I agree that without more context, it could be any of a list of possible translations. I'm going to ask the client what they think it means…

yes it's non pro. it's a simple word with several possible meanings (and no need for a dictionary) depending on context. HOWEVER, context hasn't been given (and no one should hold their breath for it) so no answer should be chosen to go into glossary anyway. And, as I said, why answer when there's no context? No manners either, please/thanks or explanation of asker's difficulty

I can't answer that question for 'all' but I do wonder how you justify voting 'non-Pro' on this. Are you taking something into consideration beyond that pretty short pop-up question of, Would an average bilingual without a dictionary be able to translate this (or something to that effect)? Why take it out on the glossary? If you don't want to answer, then don't. That's my two cents, at least. And I say this/ask this with all due respect, Yvonne. I don't want to argue. Cheers

why bother answering at all? This looks like it's the same person just changing their profile name each time they ask a question. The questions are always asked in a similar way with little or no context and with no further communication.

It seems to be a default setting (who knows why?) for non logged in visitors.

It's possible that this asker hasn't left 17 questions open, and it's a bug in the system. It's too much of a coincidence that it always says 17.

anyway we know that this happens so whatyagonnado

17:47 Jul 13, 2020 

we like the challenge but...

17:46 Jul 13, 2020 

I hear you Phil and wonder why we bother

17:36 Jul 13, 2020 

This is another of those askers with 17 open questions. It's always 17, and it may be a mistake.

I think talón is probably a counterfoil or receipt, but I agree that we need more context. What does it say before and after this, and what exactly is a "registro de calificaciones"?
