Question about the term “Console”

[Member Spartak77]

I have a doubt about how to translate the term Console in Transifex.
This term is used in the “F7 Console” item visible at the bottom of the Grub boot opening image.

This entry appears on line n.14 of the “Live-Bootloader” resource in Transifex and in the “Live-Grub” resource on line n. 10 “Console Options”.
The problem is that this term in Italian can be translated as a Terminal (Terminale) or Screen (Schermo) or Monitor.
It would be easier to find the right way to translate this word by understanding clearly what you can do by changing the resolution values (for example 800×600, 1024×768, etc.) contained in the menu of “Console Options” or “F7 Console”. I don’t really understand what these resolution values are for.
Does it change the resolution of the terminal prompt that runs while the operating system is loaded?
Or it is useful for changing the Desktop resolution when the graphics driver fails to automatically set the best resolution?
If I understand what those resolution values are for, I will also understand how to correctly translate the term Console.

Thanks for your help

It simply changes the resolution in virtual terminal consoles when you press Ctrl+Alt+F2, …+F3, …+F4 etc. on antiX desktop.
It does not change the desktop resolution itself.
It might be visable in the last stage of startup process already, immediately before the desktop comes up.

Windows is like a submarine. Open a window and serious problems will start.
