Translation credits

[Rolando Blanco]

I left my work in the Ubuntu-es Translator Team, because I did think
that is not rigth that a very big lot of people works and contribute in
the translation and don´t be considerated in the credits.

I felt that the "translators" use our works in they name.

Please understand me :D .  I think that 1000 People translate, then 1000
Peoples are Translators, and have to be in the credits, I think that
this is SOFTWARE LIBRE.

Thanks!
