GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering / Technical Manual
English term or phrase: tab
Using the menus and tabs

Usar los menus y las pestanas

Camera tab - Pestana CAMERA
Picture tab - Pestana PICTURE
Card tab - Pestana CARD
Setup tab - Pestana Setup


Solo estoy verificando unos parrafos, y me encuentro con esto de pestana que segun la traductora, tab es "pestana" en espanol.

A mi me parece raro, y creo que existe otra palabra mejor, y mas adecuada, esto de CAMERA tab, etc aparece en el display de una pantalla para una camara digital.

En otro manual similar, veo que otra traductora escribio: lenguetas.

Que opinan ustedes?


Nota:
Siempre omito las tildes porque luego se convierten en signos raros que solo entorpecen la lectura.

Explanation:
He visto pestaña también, pero siempre me sono bastante mal. Etiqueta me gusta más (para este entorno claro).

Suerte,

Cámara with these tab's!


Explanation:
Hola Doris,

Si existe una palabra que me ha hecho jalarme los pelos es precisamente TAB.

Lengüeta, por más que quisiera se queda corta; pestaña, qué te puedo decir, tampoco me hace click.

Aquí van unas sugerencias que parecen ajustarse a la percepción de la personalidad macho que le adjudico a TAB.

ALERON - tampoco me convence pero estoy en la lluvia de ideas y sigo
PASADOR - maybe or getting close
BOTÓN - metálico, de encendido,
INDICADOR -
PRESILLA -
INTERRUPTOR -
MANDO-
LLAVE-

En fin, cada palabra tiene una personalidad y creo que tab amerita ser algo más que una lengüeta o pestaña, eso es desde mi punto de vista muuuuy particular.

Mientras te decides, te deseo felices fiestas y próspero año 2002!

Buena suerte!

Indicador de sección


Explanation:
Yo también he tenido este problema y aunque "indicador de sección" son tres palabras, dan una imagen clara de lo que se trata. "Pestaña" se me hace que es un localismo, "indicador" a solas no me dice algo concreto, por éso te sugiero esta respuesta.
