hacer el click

English translation: Click to Win

Spanish term or phrase: hacer el click
Estoy tratando de encontrar una forma de decirlo en inglés que tenga el doble sentido que tiene en el texto: por un lado, hacer click en el mouse (para contratar los servicios de una empresa) y, por el otro, hacer click en el sentido de hacer un cambio. En español hacer click también implica tomar conciencia de algo, darse cuenta. Muchas gracias!

English translation:Click to Win
Explanation:
The context is in the discussion box. The phrase is "haz el click" rather than "hacer el click", and it's a motivational speaker's slogan.

I don't think the wordplay translates, but we need something containing "click", and the idea of changing, making your life better with the click of a mouse.

Click to Win usually implies winning a prize in an online game or competition, but here I've used it to mean "be successful".

click on ( mouse)/change by clicking on (an image)


Explanation:
The difference seems to only reside in the reason for the click. Other than that, like you said, it can mean something like "all of a sudden it clicked in my mind", as if a light bulb clicked on in one's mind, and they suddenly became aware of something.

When you suddenly understand something, you can say that it clicks. [informal]. When I saw the television report, it all clicked.

agree  Helena Chavarria: 'Click' to understand doesn't work. They're telling customers that they will benefit (win?) from the product.

  -> Exactly. Thanks. The slogan must say something about what the company does.

neutral  James A. Walsh: I just can't get past the 'winning a prize' element of this - it's all that registers when I read it

Haz el click
Make it click


Explanation:
This could work. It’s actually a play on the English expression “make it stick”, which essentially refers to a method of learning something that ensures you remember it. Here’s a definition: https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/make it stick

By changing “stick” to “click”, you maintain the original register of “make it stick”, but add the new dynamics of the word “click”, which can have the same double meaning as the Spanish: “click” in the sense of “click the mouse” (to contract the services of a company); and “click into place”, which means to suddenly become clear and understandable. Here’s a definition of “click into place”: https://www.lexico.com/definition/click_into_place

Hope this helps 😊
