Bug Description
Stellarium 0.10.2.
When you select a star with the mouse, automatically are displayed their coordinates in the left top of the screen. At least in the Spanish version, the label for the first of the two coordinates showed in the fifth row ("Declinación/DE") seems wrong.
Example:
Spica (a-Vir) - HIP 65474
Magnitud: 0.95 (B-V: -0.25)
Magnitud Absoluta: -3.58
AR/DEC (J2000): 13h25m11.
AR/DEC (de fecha): 13h25m44s/
Declinación/DE: 7h41m49s/
Az/Alt: +279º29´
Tipo espectral: B1V
Distancia: 262.18 años luz
Paralaje: 0.01244´´
Correct me if i am wrong, it seems that the "Declinación" label applies incorrectly to the angle in hh:mm:ss from the local meridian to the actual position of the star, in the ecuatorial coordinates system. In Spanish, this parameter is named "ángulo horario H". Also, the second parameter at this same row, labeled "DE", seems to be the same that the declination already showed in the fourth row. Why this duplicity?

Stellarium is translated by volunteers, here at Launchpad. If you notice any imperfections, you can fix them without filing a bug report.
The string is available here: /translations. launchpad. net/stellarium/ 0.10/+pots/ stellarium/ es/110/ +translate

And it appears that you are correct - the original English string refers to hour angle.
Note that the string in Stellarium will be updated the next time its translation files are synchronised with those at Launchpad.
