Ed,
I've seen the new L10n tool, it's really good and quick! Thanks to the
people involved!
I've translated the first 100 messages into spanish. I guess screens are
prioritary, so if you agree I'll focus on getting screen messages translated
(later I could continue with documentation).
Cheers,
Julio
