Context

After several weeks of practice, I completed a more developed contribution using the knowledge gained throughout the project.

This entry compares my current translation process with the approach I used during my first contribution.

Procedure

Before submitting the translation, I reviewed the original string, analyzed its context, searched for related approved translations, and checked the relevant terminology.

I then verified capitalization, punctuation, placeholders, and regional language usage before submitting the final suggestion.

Evidence

Obstacles

The most difficult part was deciding between multiple translations that were technically correct. I needed to determine which option was more consistent with the project and more natural for users in Costa Rica.

I also had to correct small details that I might not have noticed at the beginning of the project.

Lessons Learned

I learned to be more proactive and to follow repeatable review process instead of submitting the first translation that seemed correct.

Reflection

I can see a clear difference between my first contribution and my current work. I feel more confident, but I also understand that careful review remains necessary.

My next step is to organize the final evidence and evaluate the overall results of the project.
