Best to use infinitives than imperatives. You're not ordering anybody to
do anything.
>>Traducciones ingléses
Inglesas (it's femenine). But one would probably say "Traducción al
inglés".

I don't understand how he translates the songs but then struggles with
the other stuff?

Thanks for the advice.

I know the language that I am translating into very well and I know how to
make good use of online translators and dictionaries.
Is it fair to say 'struggle' when the only genuine mistake I seem to have
made is 'ingléses' instead of 'inglésas' ?
I was more concerned that there might be a more usual way of saying these
things that is not a direct translation, e.g. Inicio is not a translation of
Home.

Uyuy, I wasn't having a dig. By the way, drop the accents. The accent is
only to stress the e when the normal rules of pronunciation are broken.
When it's plural the rule applies ie; the e is stressed by default.

Really, your best route is visit spanish language websites and get a feel
for the normal equivalents of the commonly used words, like "home",
"default" and stuff like that. An example: have two web browsers side by
side one with yahoo.com and the other with yahoo.es.
¡Suerte!

"Traducciones", sin tilde; "inglesas", femenino y sin tilde.
> Home => Inicio
> Songs by title => Canciónes por título
> Song by album => Canciónes por album
"Canciones", sin tilde. "Álbum", con tilde.

"Título de la canción", "Canciones en italiano", etc. Todo en
minúscula, excepto el inicio de la frase. "Canciones" no lleva tilde.

Es más usual "Mostrar vídeo" y "Ocultar vídeo".

¿Porqué dijo Ud. 'tilde'? ¿Dicen 'tilde' en lugar de 'accento' donde Ud.
vive?

"Tilde" es más específico para referirse a la rayita que se pone
encima de algunas letras (ortografía). Acento es más específico para
referirse a la mayor intensidad de una sílaba (fonetica). Pero también
se llama "acento" a la tilde.

Che, fonética lleva acento como todas las palabras esdrújulas.
Oremos porque Jorton no te vea engañando yankys :-D
