Aayla Secura's description lacks an accurate translation into Spanish:

 

1. Survivavility is translated into Sobrevivencia. This is not an incorrect translation, but Sobrevivencia is a no longer used term. The Royal Spanish Academy advises everyone against using it; they recommend Supervivencia instead. It is the most common term and does not cause the "bad translation feeling" Sobrevivencia gives.

 

2. There is a concordance error in one of her attributes. Esquivar (Dodge) should be esquivar (with no capital letter), since all of her other attributes - such as daño físico (Physical Damage) or salud (Health) - have no capital letters in their names.

 

3. The whole translation of the description does not offer a "Spanish feeling". Although there are no grammar mistakes, it is extremely easy to notice the bad linguistic subtlety. My personal recommendation as a native Spanish speaker would be: "Atacante versátil con una supervivencia muy elevada gracias a sus puntos de vida, esquiva y autocuración." Please notice: esquivar (verb) is replaced by esquiva (noun).

 

Thank you.
