It is English, where probation (probeiyon) means "probation". In colloquial Spanish it is understood in the same sense as in US law, respecting the scope of each local legislation. It is used as a "suspension of trial on trial" in cases of non-serious crimes, and the accused must follow certain conditions imposed by the judge in addition to offering redress for the damage. Having fulfilled this to satisfaction, the case is dismissed. See English/probation ( "conditional release") .
