@check link to #258751 "I cleared the table."

Wiktionary says that "limpiar" means "to clean, to wash, to wipe" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/limpiar#Spanish

whereas "to clear" when referring to a table means "To remove obstructions, impediments or other unwanted items from." https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clear#Verb

I think this might be the result of simply misreading "clear" as "clean".

The Chinese translation unambiguously means "to wipe", I don't know about the others.

@marafon Since you linked two translations recently, maybe you can tell whether this link is correct or not.

“Despejé” es la palabra correcta.

I think "limpiar la mesa" is a valid translation for "to clear the table", too.

@rafaeldejesus8199
#9056550 (Despejé la mesa.) should be linked to this English sentence #258751.
If you don't mind, I'll do the necessary linking for you.
