It would be most excellent to have your help! I don't know if there are any interested Spanish manual translators ATM.
Basically, once we have some finalized text to work with, you'd be free to translate them. We have yet to begin the actual work, but we will probably do some preliminary writing before the booksprint. I wonder if Adam (who is on this list) might give a brief description, if he has a moment, of how the current translation site works, and what we might see in the near future for translation tools? I have yet to look at them in depth and would not want to give an explanation that is incorrect or, at best, lacking important info. Anyway, best thing for now is to monitor the list and participate in the discussions. If you're interested in coming in person, we'd love to have you!
