Hello everyone!

A few days ago, a Spanish openSUSE fellow (victorhck) told me about the Spanish translation of summit.o.o We agreed that they need a review to get the draft status.

Some issues:

1) Accents are rarely used.

2) Several words ared misspelled (ie: impportante, tecnlogia,  etc)

3) First letter in uppercase abuse ("Diviérte Mucho" vs "Diviérte mucho")

4) Translation is too literal, which leads to using incorrect words (ie: "submission" has been transtaled as "sumisión") and it also leads to use the wrong conjugation "Presentar propuestas para La openSUSE Summit utilizando."

5) Mixture of formal and informal style ("usted" vs "tú").

We think that they give a bad image of the openSUSE Project because it seems no one has reviewed the translation even once.

It would be nice if you and anyone else knowing Spanish would download the files and fix them... It is not very hard.

Find it here: https://github.com/shayonj/openSUSE-summit You can either download the files, fix them and send them to me or Shayon; or clone the repo and do a merge request - which is of course easier for us :D

just FYI I took into account several of Javier's and other person's suggestions and added them to my branch at Github, where shayon pushed most of them (a few ones are still pending), sorry for not answering before. Again, I apologize for not taking a look at the other person's translations, and for committing a few errors of my own (I'm not a fan of accents ;) ).
