Hi Matias,

glad that you liked Vtg thanks!

Vtg is still in its infancy and I need all the help I can get, also
because my time is pretty limited.

So about the spanish translation even if I'm not so expert I prepared
Vtg to be translated, but first I've to warn you about this:

1) during the development I tried to mark the string for translation but
that wasn't my top priority so I can miss a lot of strings that will be
added in the future

2) since I'm not fluent as I'd like in english usually I rethink a lot
about messages and change them a lot of times at the beginning.

So things can be quite in flux in this area at the moment.

Having said that, I think that we can proceed with this steps

1) Download the po template files from the vtg svn repository:
         http://vtg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/po/vtg.pot

2) Rename it to es.po and then fill the header

2) You can translate it with a simple text editor, see how I've done the
italian one

3) Send me your es.po, an email or a bug report against Vtg or a post in
the vtg mailing list will be

If you want to know more about software translation the Gnome
Translation Project has some valuable guides:

Have a nice day,
        Andrea

P.S.
Since I'm an expert gnome developer any advice if this is a simple
enough workflow is welcome
