Oh, I feel with you. Even though one of my friends is teacher in
Norway and he has waaaay too much free time ;). I myself happen to
have a lot of free time at the moment since I am waiting for a reply
to my application for a PhD position. And, you know, the authorities
sometimes are very slow.

That's absolutely ok. Please take your time. When I know that someone
is going to work on it, I will be happy as I don't need to look out
for other people speaking Spanish ;). Now it's actually only Chinese
and Dutch where I need to find people willing to translate for. And,
of course, for really any other language, but I think we are covering
the most important ones then. It's really hard to find someone to
translate it into Wolof ;). (Ok, I actually got one).

This sounds good. I also don't think that the translation software "Qt
Linguist" is difficult to use. Just follow the instructions which I
gave in the wiki. The only important thing is that you get in contact
with me just when you want to start working on the translation so I
can give you an up-to-date template for the translation. That's
because the template may change a lot in the future.

Of course, that's one of the important philosophies behind free
software. It doesn't matter how and how much you contribute but only
_that_. Your contribution is very helpful for us because no one here
speaks Spanish. So you definetely help developing and thus your name
should be on the list ;).

Looking forward to your help!
