Proposals: I know that we've been using 'temor creíble' forever, and that it's direct, makes "a fair amount of sense" in Spanish, etc. However, consider this sentence taken from one of Nestor Wagner's training materials: "Gentlemen, the asylum officer has determined that you do not have a credible fear returning to your home country." If I rendered this as 'que no tienen un temor creíble de volver a su país de orígen', I feel like we're sliding into translat-ese, we're doing something between English and Spanish and it doesn't really make sense. It feels like what we're trying to express is more like 'un temor fundado', as in, 'fundado en la ley o la definición legal de temor, según las leyes de asilo y protección o amparo'.
