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!
