Spanish term or phrase: asegurar
Among the instructions for taking an online survey:
"Cuando haya terminado de ver esta página, cierre su navegador para asegurar la información de la encuesta."
MY QUESTION: does "asegurar" mean "save" or "secure" here?

English translation:save
Explanation:
I believe in this case it means save. Usually for surveys they want to save the information you entered.
If the person has entered credit cards numbers or personal information then usually it refers to secure lines. But since this is just a survey I believe they mean to save it.

Good Luck!

Explanation:
I think it´s better "save", because the info gets saved on the server. It means it won´t get lost.

Save


Explanation:
The last time I did an online survey-type thing, it wouldn't be saved until the whole connection was severed (no possibility of hitting the "back" key.)

Explanation:
In the context of the sentence you supplied, the answer is "save", however, if this sentence came after private/personal information that needed to be safeguarded, then the answer would be "secure". It totally depends on the information surrounding the word you have questions about.
If you would like to send me the previous 2 sentences, I would be happy to help you further.

confirm


Explanation:
Although the meaning is quite differente, you might also use "confirm". In m any applications, first you enter the information required, and then you confirm it by exiting a page, or clicking on a button, etc.

Depending on context, you might use it to differentiate this term from the "save" referred to saving files, ...

Just another idea ...
