By far, the most common question and situation I encounter is: What should you do when you are dealt a low pair (10s or lower)?
While sometimes it may look tempting to draw to a straight or just try your luck with 5 entirely new cards, the answer is almost always to
keep the low pair

"draw to a straight" means you have four of the five cards you need for a a sequence of five cards (e.g. 2,3,4,5,6) and you need one more card to complete the sequence, so you're hoping to get that card after you've placed your bet and are waiting for the card you need to show up

in Spanish this having 4 of the 5 cards needed is called a "proyecto a escalera" (i.e. you're waiting for the one card you need to show up)

there are many scenarios which are irrelevant here but the idea is that you need 1 card to complete your sequence and are hoping is comes up

: eso sería: draw a straight... draw "to" a straight means you don't have it yet but are hoping to get it

Tienes todo la razón. ;@)
If you "just try your luck with 5 entirely new cards" then it would be possible to "draw to a straight" but even so the player would not really be "drawing" because they are not starting from the position of a POTENTIAL straight (they have a low pair which couldn't be further from a straight).
I'd definitely ask the client about this; the source seems erroneous to me.
With a low pair (and WITHOUT "just trying your luck with 5 entirely new cards") the player would hope to "draw to three-of-a-kind".
