This seems to be a disagreement about Spanish usage, Using your first example I found https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/gnucash/gnucash/es/?q=+source%3ATop++target%3ACima+&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition&checksum=#history where you proposed a pretty substantial rewrite of the string. The person who translated and approved the existing string, J.F. Serrador, has been translating GnuCash into Spanish for almost 15 years and that particular translation has been in place for well over a year.
I also note that your comment on the string was posted at 9AM my time and this email was written only 3 hours later. Translation is, like everything else about GnuCash development, a volunteer activity undertaken in volunteers’ spare time. Three weeks would be a more reasonable time to wait than 3 hours, and even that assumes Sr. Serrador has notifications enabled for comments on translations. If he has to proactively visit the string page to know if there’s a comment the odds are pretty strongly against his ever noticing.
