How to color manage a jpg?
Juan there are two ways to do this first before saving for the web you go to edit >convert to profile and chose sRGB from the drop down menu. You can also assigned the sRGB color space in the save for web screen just check the box asking you if you want to use the sRGB color space. Almost forgot if you convert to sRGB in PS you need to tell the save for web screen to use assigned color space. I am on my iPhone so I might have the terminology wrong when I get home I will open up PS to double check I gave you the right info. Just checked PS and the the box you need to check in the save for web screen is convert to sRGB .

My Spanish isn't so good so I'm not sure what you're seeing there, but I'd just go straight to Save for Web from a master file and check the TWO boxes for convert to sRGB and embed the profile. That's all you need to do.
If you export from LR the profile is embedded, you just have to tell it to convert to sRGB.
Some people here don't understand that they should do that, and can do it easily -- it's not too uncommon to see images with no profile, although most appear to have been converted to the sRGB space.

Wait -- from the little icon in the upper left corner -- is this from the Windows image viewer (or whatever it's called)? My understanding is that it isn't color managed, and it may not be showing the image correctly, much less recognizing the information about it. Use a color-managed application like PS or Bridge or Lightroom.
But maybe your action isn't checking the right boxes....

创Check the TWO boxes创 that磗 what I was not doing! many thanks Diane for your valuable help!

When you check the sRGB box in Save or web, PS will do the conversion for you -- it's not "assigning" that profile but converting to it. You don't need to convert to it in a separate step before that.

Juan, I just checked your last two images posted in avian and they both had the sRGB color space assigned to them not sure were you are seeing the no color managed dialog.

Mmmmm, that磗 extrange... I just check my last post of a keel-billed motmot and I still don磘 see any sRGB anywhere, may be a Windows bug? he he he. Any ways, many thanks to both Don and Diane for your help. :)

I pulled up that one (dragged it to my desktop and opened it in PS) and it does have the sRGB profile tagged (embedded). There is something about the way you're viewing them that isn't showing the profile.
Try what I just did and see what happens.

HI Juan, I've seen this also, even for images where I'm sure the color space has been embedded, and jpegs straight from the camera. I think it's a Windows fluke.
Quite frustrating if you want a last check on which color profile was embedded, but checking in PS or Bridge will give you the right information.
