Paul, There is a group called "Equipo de traducción" (in Spanish instance: http://es.wikieducator.org/Equipo_de_traduccion) and your wife could find what we are working on and some suggestions about pages to be translated into Spanish language. She can find a suggested procedure (http://es.wikieducator.org/Equipo_de_traduccion/ Procedimiento_para_traduccion ) and what we are doing at this time ( http://es.wikieducator.org/Usuario:J_vidals/My_Sandbox ).
If she had a doubt regarding to this matter please feel free to e-mail me or be in touch on my discussion page in WE.
