Screenshot of ES UI showing the translation problem

In the Text context menu (right click on any paragraph in Writer) for 24.2 beta 1 there are two entries: "Footnote or Endnote" and "Footnotes and Endnotes" that perform different tasks. On the Spanish UI both are translated as "Notas al pie y finales" which introduce confusion (see attached screenshot). The first one should be translated as "Nota al pie o final" instead.

Adolfo/Albert: thought you might be interested in this one.
Comment 2 Albert Acer 2023-12-15 12:17:13 UTC
This is a real problem because it leads us users to unfortunate confusion.
I will have to test very carefully and see the results of each of those entries to recommend a solution.

Can also be seen with the gen VCL plugin, which shows all greyed-out entries.
Clearly a Spanish translation issue, at least one should be singular, + "or" vs "and".

(But the source string might also need clarifying eventually.)

Strings in question:
