Law: Contract(s) / Table of contents for architectural drawings
Spanish term or phrase: notas y leyendas
Tengo un documento en el que en el indice sale una seccion titulada "notas y leyendas" refireiendose a la descripcioón que colocan debajo de una foto o diagrama. Alguien lo tradujo como "notes and leyends" pero no me gusta porque pienso que leyends en este caso seria un false cognate. Me gustaria saber su opinión con respecto al equivalente de leyendas en Ingles. Mil gracias!

Notation and scales


Explanation:
Son anotaciones al dibujo y la escala a la que está realizado el dibujo por ejemplo 1/10 (un centímetro en el dibujo equivale a 10 centímetros en dimensiones reales)

Prior to the use of computers and CAD software, a drafter, designer, engineer or architect had to create accurate drawings of objects using a "scale". The "scale" allowed the the object to be drawn at a larger or reduce size without having to calculate values.
