[FM Discuss] volunteer to translate to spanish

Thu Mar 3 16:09:23 PST 2011

Hola,

I am working to improve my productivity ;)  I hope to be finishing this book
before April ends.

I do have some questions still, but they are all about publishing options,
how to manage versions, where to sign, and so...  They have no urgency now
that I am still doing first 10 per cent of this job.
When I see that the moving from translate to booki is over I will post them
to the list.

2 weeks ago I ve finished Terminal translation.
I would be grateful if you check it -- not on the language but on the
publishing, the license, the title that remains in english on the pdf , the
chance of web publishing it  on floss web page in spanish....

Gracias y saludos !
Ana.

ps. I am including as foot notes links to resources in spanish, because all
of the links in the book ( how to make.. simmons) go to tutorials in
english. As i work with ceibaljam.org I count on them to see for technical
translation advice and for selecting one or other link for pygame e.g.
