Is there a reason not to handle this with conditional text? Is it because of the length of the book, or something? What they're doing now sounds like a real pain! Couldn't there be two condition tags, English and Spanish, and just translate the whole thing once? It sounds like it's getting translated over and over again, although I admit I was pre-coffee when I read it.
