Your thoughts on this > please, Ralph. Alain is offline (and has been for two months or so). Up to then he normally found the time to update the spanish translation, as pages were changed or sometimes newly created. No idea if any of the people who began creating the spanish translation together with Alain still reads here. Luis, are you still here?

That depends. If the original only changes in wording and/or there are some language issues, I don't see it that way. If the translation enables the reader to do at least basic groundwork while the original page has added content to that, I don't really see a problem either. Cheers, Ralph
