NO, PERO WHY?

The translation dropped “proposed.”

Quick cases



The English notice says the hours are proposed. A Spanish repost says the hours have changed. The meeting to discuss the proposal is next week.



PAUTA ASKS

Did the translation preserve whether this is proposed or already decided?



TRY ONE RESPONSE

Copy the Spanish version because more neighbors can read it.

Access to language matters, and so does preserving the difference between a proposal and a decision.



TRY ANOTHER RESPONSE

Correct both versions together and ask a fluent reader to check the meaning.

Now the update can stay usable across languages without silently changing its status.



MAKE SOMETHING USEFUL

Write “proposed, not decided” in words your intended readers will understand.



TELL A FRIEND

Todavía es una propuesta. It has not been decided. Both versions need to keep that distinction.

Say it your way. Keep the supported meaning and the part you still need to check.
