In January they updated the `tos_topic.body` key and the amount of text in the terms is really huge.
> With patience, I took the original text (in English), which you can see _[here](https://github.com/SidVal/SidV/blob/master/discourse/tos-english.yml)_, and translated it to Spanish _[here](https://github.com/SidVal/SidV/blob/master/discourse/tos-spanish.yml)_.

If anyone wants to make changes to the terms and conditions in Spanish, we can first discuss it here, and then make the modifications to the github repository, so that from there we can pass them to Transifex.
It is really complex to translate so much in _Transifex_.
Thanks!

Some terms and conditions from major North American companies, from which we can extract translated legal language:
[https://www.google.com/intl/es/policies/terms/](https://www.google.com/intl/es/policies/terms/)
> **[Condiciones del servicio de Meta](https://es-es.facebook.com/terms.php)**
>
> Las Condiciones de Meta rigen el uso que haces de Facebook, Messenger y los demás productos, funciones, aplicaciones, servicios, tecnologías y software que ofrecemos.
> **[Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple](https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/es/terms.html)**
>
> Terms
In any case, the translation will only be useful for communities based in the US, since, typically, each country has its own laws and requirements for Terms and Conditions (TyC). In Spain, for example, they will need to be adapted to the new European policy regarding data protection that is about to be released.

Yes, thanks for the references @Apecengo. The point is that here we are not looking to create new `TOS`, but rather to translate what Discourse provides as the source (in English), do you understand?
Their TOS are for the U.S. If each user wants to modify them for the country where each forum resides, they can do so from the text customization options in the administration panel of each forum.
However, on this occasion, the goal is to translate the TOS that Discourse provides us.

From what I see, the Discourse team is working on something for the ToS:
> [@Some notes on customizing the default Terms of Service](https://meta.discourse.org/t/terms-of-service-notes-and-tips/78733/2?u=apecengo):

It might be worth waiting a few days to see what it is, just in case we translate it and they release new ones. It’s a quite interesting topic. Let’s see how it progresses.

The new modification did not respect any of the previous terms.
See comparison: [https://github.com/SidVal/SidV/commit/dd1fa5b6be1d622c8c444bd92413a51381ba5a90?diff=split](https://github.com/SidVal/SidV/commit/dd1fa5b6be1d622c8c444bd92413a51381ba5a90?diff=split)
I will now proceed to translate **[here (on GitHub)](https://github.com/SidVal/SidV/blob/master/discourse/tos-spanish.yml)**, as the Transifex interface is very poor for very long texts like in this case.
If anyone would like to help me, please let me know.

Hello @SidV, I can help you by the end of the week. We just need to coordinate how the push notifications will work and which parts of the text should not be translated twice.

Hi Mariano, I doubt we are both translating at the same time, but if you’d like, you can start with the bottom part of the terms.
I just logged in; if I see any PR, I always update it before I start working.

I finished the terms 🙂
If anyone wants to review, I did it in two parts because they were too long. _[Commit 1](https://github.com/SidVal/SidV/commit/cf60d60a93f21ebbc6ca80d035c3dc1ab61dea1f)_ and _[Commit 2](https://github.com/SidVal/SidV/commit/cf84f4c164c4681062d4852b0fc5c43b64f6a595)_.
On Transifex, it’s impossible to maintain such a large text.
I’m going to ask the Discourse team if they won’t let me maintain the terms via GitHub.
