On electronic equipment, at least in Spain, the device has everything in English, that is,

Dwn (down)
Up [referring to Volume]

Volume
File [referring to a recorded computer digital audio file]

Record
Stop
Play
Rew [Rewind]
FFw [Fast Forward]

Normally the translated manual will refer to these "buttons". But if I wanted to translated these (for the actual manufacture of the device, and have it in Spanish) what would be the best translation for these terms?

I am giving below what I would do, but I'd like to get input from the majority of countries... ie, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Perú, Cuba, Colombia... (you name it)

My take,

Dwn (down) = Reducir
Up [referring to Volume] = Aumentar
Volume = Volumen
File = Archivo

Record = Grabar
Stop = Stop / (Parar)
Play = Play / (Tocar)
Rew [Rewind] = Retroceso
FFw [Fast Forward] = Avance

PLAY and STOP are the ones I'd leave as they are, but not sure if this will communicate best to everyone...

Any input on these terms will be great!

En Chile subimos y bajamos el volumen, el resto es lo mismo.

Por aquí:


Dwn (down) = Subir
Up [referring to Volume] = Bajar
Stop = Stop / Parar
Play = Play / Tocar
Rew [Rewind] = Regresar (o rebobinar... aunque ésta última se usaba más con las cintas)
FFw [Fast Forward] = Avanzar (para hacer juego con los infinitivos en los demás botones) ;)


"Aumentar/reducir el volumen" sonaría raro, pero se comprendería perfectamente.
