Greetings Yago, Please write [email protected] about this, because although the translation is dead, there was some discussion this past September there. Perhaps it stemmed from the conversation you guys had at the conference? But I don't think any translation work came from it. I think it'd work best if you started work before asking for an account, so the world sees you are serious. Typically people send patches but for translations it works best to send a few newly translated files. It appears doc/es does not build today, and it contains a lot of old (several years) files that are probably not worth keeping. However, several are up-to-date (likely from the older not-so-popular extensions) so we can probably keep those. Summary: Do not be afraid to delete and start over with most XML files because they are so old. And for reference, there was some effort put into moving to PO (gettext) files but it essentially stalled and possibly failed. Transifex won't work for such large projects, and the current Pootle either (but we'll be testing the Pootle rewrite, which is in beta now...) but I just wanted to let you know. It's not worth waiting for, as a lot of effort is/will be put into converting from current XML to PO if/when we do that. Regards, Philip P.S. Hi Scott :)
