I don't agree with "slide".
A slide is a tube on your finger:

c. A small metal or glass tube worn over a finger or held in the hand, used in playing bottleneck-style guitar.

slide

(in Spanish, I think it is also called a slide:

sliden

(guitar: device for slurring notes) (voz inglesa)

slide nm

Sorry, I'm confused. Your original report said that a cejilla is not a bridge, but rather a capo is a bridge. So I looked for an alternative to bridge. However, now you're saying that capo and cejilla are the same thing, and that the translation for both of them is capo?

 

[Mister Draken]

Varios nombres: Un capo (también llamado cejilla, capodastro o capotraste) es un accesorio que sirve para sustituir la cejilla realizada en los trastes con el dedo índice, permitiendo al intérprete usar su dedo con libertad en instrumentos de cuerda como la guitarra, el banjo o la mandolina.

Hmm, I did try to say originally that
"cejilla" should not be translated as "bridge" but as "capo".

Then, this states pretty clearly that the translation of "cejilla" should be "capo".

I see. My confusion was that you said "this should be capo" and I thought "this" was referring to capo the Spanish word, not the English translation. So I thought you were saying "bridge should be capo" and therefore "cejilla should be something else". Which made the source you cited rather confusing. But I totally get it now. Thanks for following up and explaining it to me in simple terms.
