While I don't think you owe any apologies, thank you for taking the
time to address the group on these issues.

Unfortunately I haven't had enough time to understand how to properly
fix my Spanish issues, but I want to fix them and I'll post a patch as
soon as I achieve anything.

By the way, I proposed a move to GitHub not because I think SVN is
'old and thus bad', but because GitHub as a platform makes it much
easier for many developers to contribute to projects. That said,
Richard clarified that he is able and willing to port patches
submitted through GitHub to the official SVN repository, so maybe this
is no longer an important issue.

Thanks again, Martin!
