Spanish term or phrase: Diferencia de concepto
El término bajo una columna titulada: Explanation for the change
(in English)

Las explicaciones pueden ser:
- error gramatical
- error ortográfico
- falta puntuación etc.

"Diferencia de concepto" refiere a que hay un error de traducción: eg. "notorious" no es "notable", etc. (este no es el ejemplo , es más sutil)
Todo esto es sobre un proofreading pautado.
Va "Concept difference" simplemente?

Thanks

It is not wrong to say: a conceptual difference, a different concept or a difference of concept or it is conceptually different.

For a list heading, I would probably say, in your text,

Conceptual difference
