3 years ago @christirichards and @angelagvarela, The attached file diff_DailyDozen_Spanish_Android_Apple_20210310.txt contains a summary fo the current Spanish translation differences between the Apple and Android Daily Dozen apps.
The files is derived from the output generated via the terminal command line diff Spanish_es.20210309.Android.tsv Spanish_es.20210309.Apple.tsv. The content lines preserve the tabs used in the translation spreadsheet columns. These lines can be copies & pasted into the Spanish translation spreadsheet.
As FYI, differences with human readable keys like dozeSpices.Variety.Text.17 are likely from differences in the Android & iPhone pull requests. Differences with random keys like Lef-Iw-Ywr.normalTitle are likely from the more obscure "other ~27 localization files" used in the iPhone app.
Future versions of the translation spreadsheets and iPhone source code will phase out the auto-generated random String IDs.

@christirichards and @angelagvarela, below are some translation topics for your review and consideration regarding the current state of the Spanish translation in the Daily Dozen applications.
iPhone Translation Coverage
The Daily Dozen iOS version 3.2.1 was the first release with an additional language (Spanish). Given the state of the app at the time, there were a couple ways for errors to slip through.
First, the Spanish string changes pull request '#39' provided only 3 of the approximately 30 translation files with user facing text. The largest and most important text was in those three files, ... so, that's OK. The other files were various display, navigation and settings details. I filled in the other 27 files based on what I could see in the Android version.
Second, the Daily Dozen iPhone app needed many significant changes to the presentation logic. Often text was part of the source code and used in the presentation logic. Most of the code logic cases had been found and fixed for Spanish release. About 4 cases were later discovered (and fixed) while working with more recent Polish translation.
In particular,
OffandOn(keys:reminder.state.offandreminder.state.on) need Spanish translations due to a recent discovery and code fix.It would be good to have the Daily Dozen iPhone app reviewed/tested by a translator to see if any other details on the various screen needs to be addressed.

Android & Apple Common Phrases
The nutritionfactsorg/daily-dozen-localization repository provides for a tsv spreadsheet translation common to both Android and Apple.
The
daily-dozen-localizationsynchronize process can find differences in common phrases used in the Android and Apple files. The screenshot below shows two example differences. The blue lines on the right-side scroll area of the image highlight where to "scroll to" to find other differences.These differences were found to originate from the Android Spanish string changes #156 and iPhone Spanish string changes #39 pull requests.
The current Spanish translations in the Android and Apple apps has been exported to the following two spreadsheets:
The shown screen capture used Meld to compare the two TSV files. There are also other tools for comparing two TSV files or spreadsheets.
In general, the translations differences may be ok (e.g. accepted synomyms). As a practical matter, someone needs to pick which translation term is used so that any future Android and Apple translations can use a common spreadsheet workflow.
App Store
Spanish_es_appstore.20210309.tsv provides the text which displays in the Android and Apple App stores. Both stores allow for localized text descriptions of the application.
If/when a Spanish translation becomes available for the app store text, then the store page could be updated for the language/region. Translated screen shots could be used as placeholders for localized marketing graphics.
Device Test Feedback
If there is any feedback from hands-on device testing from , that would be useful to know.
