Translators: Ready, steady, GO!

[Edwin Pujols]

+1, in Spanish the "with us" sounds weird. (I omitted it in my translation)

>> The deadline for translations is April 3rd. This leaves us enough time
to land the new package upload with the updated translation to make it to
the final 14.04 release. Furthermore, the translation cut-off percentage
for the documentation is 80%; only translations with 80% or more translated
strings will be shipped.

>> We acknowledge this is a tight schedule, especially for the complete
Xubuntu documentation. However, we do think that it is completely possibly
to do it in the time given especially if multiple people per language start
working on a translation. Ultimately, nothing is in vain: We will be
updating the packages with our point releases. This gives you a full six
months to translate the documentation into your language and get it
included with the first point release of Trusty, 14.04.1, to released in
October.

or any other question related to translations, feel free to be in touch
with us either via #xubuntu-devel on Freenode, or the Xubuntu developer
mailing list [2].
