No offense meant. Should I apologize for disagreeing? Should we erase \"disagree\" from the opinions menu?

Sí, me parece que "persiana veneciana" es el término
más preciso e internacionalmente inteligible. En
Argentina le decimos "cortina americana", pero me temo
que es un término muy local. Muchas gracias por tu ayuda
Saludos

persianas venecianas


Explanation:
Son las persianas de tablitas; en Argentina se les dice "miniband", o "tipo miniband", porque la marca Miniband se ha transformado en genérico; si tu traducción es para otro mercado podés usar las otras opciones.

neutral  Patricia Lutteral: Es exactamente mi traducción. ??????
1 hr
  -> Estuve en desacuerdo con tu explicacion del significado de persianas venecianas: "son las persianas de tablitas". De hecho NO son de tablitas (de madera) sino de otros materiales. Tu traduccion es la correcta, pero la explicacion no, a mi criterio.
neutral  tazdog (X): this answer was proposed many, many hours before you posted this, and you disagreed with it. What sense does that make?
1 hr
  -> Again, if you read carefully, I disagreed with the explanation. We must learn to deal with disagreements
disagree  Andrea Bullrich: I don't understand why you disagree with a colleague and then provide the same answer (except that I can't find any connection to the original question in your answer!)
19 hrs
  -> I gave the translation AND the definition of the translation according to the dictionary. The asker might find alternative explanations more helpful. Gosh! I'm entitled to disagree as much as you are to agree!.
