Welcome! How would you like to contribute to the Ubuntu documentation,
and in what ways would you like us to try and help with your
documentation? I'm afraid that we write in English, and so wouldn't be
able to accept Spanish-language articles directly into the system
documentation.

You may also be interested in contacting the Spanish Documentation Team

Thanks,

Phil
