Translations are not necessarily the same as interpretations, reason why when you make a rigorous statement you need an interpreter and not a translator ; you know, the idiomatic issue. Spaniards call the lock a key (llave), reason why Fernando's translation engine gives him the 'key' term.
... Whereas the Portuguese call it fecho, which corresponds to lock, as in english.
