I agree, the current process is very time consuming, considering I'm 
sending a translation, not kernel code. I see how the transition to a PO 
translation system would be beneficial.

In order tu submit translations under the new system I would still need 
to find a spanish-speaking commiter. If I understand correctly it just 
elminates the overhead of working with the documentation tree.

If there's something I can do to help this move forward, please let me 
know.

I think I'll leave the ticket open for the time being, hope it gets the 
attention of any  of active doc commiters that know spanish.

Yes, I glanced over the list myself and came to the same conclusion.

Thank you for taking the time to responding to this.
