Hi,

I was too: someone repeatedly posted translations that were buggy and
totally unusable: they replaced the English text in the msgid field
with the Spanish translation. Again and again.

Are there any pages that are well-translated into Spanish (let alone
maintained) on our website?
If there are none, or only few unmaintained and old ones, I think we
should simply remove this language from the list of those "supported"
by our website. This way, people interested in doing this work will
have to go through the process of establishing contact with us and ask
us to enable it again. I have no idea what the outcome of this
discussion will be, but it cannot be worse, apparently, than the
current state of things.
While we're at it...
$ find . -type f -name *.es.po -exec git grep Last-Translator {} \; \
| grep -v 'FULL NAME'
index.es.po:"Last-Translator: \n"
download.es.po:"Last-Translator: Rodrigo Andrade <planetaskoria@???>\n"
... maybe we could start with getting in touch with Rodrigo Andrade
and ask him how much if he's interested to join this mailing-list?
Cheers,
