Hi Dante,

I'm a member of the Ubuntu Spanish Translators team, who I'm copying on this
email. If you'd like to get involved with us translating the Ubuntu software
interfaces from English to Spanish, check out our team
wiki<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuSpanishTranslators>.
There you'll find some instructions on how to get started, including a link
to our style guide <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuSpanishTranslators/Estilo>,
which it's important you understand up front. Finally, after familiarizing
yourself with those pages, you can get to translating! (aka help us deliver
the pwnage)

There's a million places where you start. Here's a
link<https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+lang/es>,
for example, to the Spanish translation templates for Jaunty Jackelope.
You'll be able to make translation suggestions in any of those, but only
members of the team are authorized to approve those suggestions or make
direct submissions. I'm aware that there exist some "trunks", for instance this
one for Wubi<https://translations.launchpad.net/wubi/trunk/+pots/wubi/es/+translate>,
where anyone can approve translations, but unfortunately I don't know of any
list where all the trunks have been compiled (little help, anyone?).

Once you've translated a significant body of work, you're welcome to apply
to be a member of our team--instructions for that are on the wiki. And, of
course, this is all just one of the many ways you could contribute to Ubuntu
and open source software. Hope it helps!

Regards,
Evan

P.S. ¡No manches, ¿eres de México?! ¿De qué parte? Vivo en Guadalajara hasta
junio.
