Explanation:
It's no good saying "IMHO the original is too wordy". The ST is what it is! That doesn't mean the TT can't be more succinct.

agree  David Hollywood: I would add "closer" but "focus" is on the button --- "Closer focus on etc."

  -> Thanks David. I left out 'closer' because 'mejorada' is in the ST but not in the question, as posed.
agree  Gillian Holmes
10 hrs
  -> Thanks.
