Yeah, he used the word Castellano, Castellano & Español are technically the same, but there should be used Español and not Castellano, because Español is the common languaje name, Castellano is mostly used in Spain, but not much in America, also the languaje traslation is always in a similar way to Español, Spanish, espanhol, espagnol, Spanisch, Spaans, spagnolo, so to be more "international" and not "region" specific we should use Español.

This is just an off-topic:
I realized you've written "Castellano" as Spanish in "OpenSUSE Weekly News/93/Translations" page. http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/93/Translations
I googled and learned. If I understand correctly, there are several languages in Spain and people who live in Spain call the most commonly spoken language "Castellano", right ?
As you know, Spanish is spoken not only in Spain, but also in many countries in Latin America.
The question is: which is better, "Castellano" or "Español" for those who speak Spanish world wide ?
If the answer is "Castellano", do you think we had better replace "Español" with "Castellano" on the Wiki pages ?
For example: Inter wiki link (Pull down language selector on top-right of each Wiki page) and entry in "Translations" section in Weekly News ...
