Thanks for your reply.

I meant exactly the book "Make Your Own Sugar Activities"
The book happens to download as
ActivitiesGuideSugares-es-2011.01.21-18.28.05.pdf , from
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/floss_manuals/

There are a lot of nicely edited paragraphs in the spanish version and the
book is amazing :)
I am sure it is a big amount of work to translate and correct a whole book
and that a lot of it is already well done!!!!
I could, though, make some editing to some parts -not for styling but for
grammar issues-, while reading it.

I usually suggest "better translations" when using google translator when
reading a wrong sentence, e.g. "Si usted está desarrollando el Sugar sí
mismo, o si usted se está convirtiendo las Actividades que dependen de las
características muy últimas de Sugar usted necesitarán funcionar con el
sugar-jhbuild."

I will sign up then in translate.flossmanuals.net  and start adding my
suggestions, then.

Please remember I am not an IT worker, and that not IT workers ( spanish
speaking teachers working among ceibal in uruguay ) are used to reading good
style in spanish texts, and insist on a good grammar usage.
There is a lot of work to do.

Saludos ( Regards)
