Updated the Spanish (Latin America) wording for “Effectively Paid” in the Mexican localization so it correctly describes a payment status rather than sounding like a cash payment. This improves clarity and alignment with Mexican accounting terminology, with no functional impact.

## Merge method squash --- ## Summary The translation for `'Effectively Paid'` in `addons/l10n_mx/i18n/es_419.po` was rendered as `'Pago efectivo'` (a noun phrase), which is grammatically incorrect in this context. In the Mexican chart of accounts (`template_mx.py`), `'Effectively Paid'` describes a **payment state/condition** — it should be expressed as an adjectival participial phrase in Spanish. ## Change | `msgid` | Before | After | |---|---|---| | `Effectively Paid` | `Pago efectivo` | `Efectivamente pagado` | ## Why this matters - `'Pago efectivo'` translates back to English as _'Cash payment'_ or _'Effective payment'_ — a noun, not a state descriptor. - `'Efectivamente pagado'` correctly means _'Effectively paid'_ — matching the semantic intent of the original string as a participial/adjectival phrase used to label a journal account. - This aligns with standard Mexican accounting terminology where the concept of "pago efectivamente cobrado/pagado" is well established in fiscal contexts (SAT, CFDI). ## Testing No functional change — translation string only. Verified against `l10n_mx.pot` template.
