Hi, I'm trying to find a correct translation (to spanish) for the "Inset path" and "Outset path" menu items but I can't figure out what they exactly do.

Just launch Inkscape and try them out :)

Contrariwise. Inset makes a path smaller (by displacing it perpendicular to the path in each point), outset makes it larger.

Aha, so that's it, in the examples I was trying out I just couldn't see any difference, it just added a few nodes to my path

Thank you.
