Use la otra Puerta / Please use other Door

Business

On the door of La Superior Carniceria. The Spanish is once again put in the primary position, but the English translation adds the word "please." I'm curious if that was a choice made because of space (i.e. "por favor" would not have fit in that font) or because it is indicative of a more formal command form in English, to match the 2nd person formal conjugation of "usar." This is one example where a word looks the same across two languages ("use"/"use") but is pronounced differently and provides different grammatical information. The capitalization also follows the same pattern, though it is odd to see such an arrangement in English.
