Ok, it's a pity that we can't use correct Spanish here, but rule #1
says "it has to work", so I have changed the translation.

Try this if you want to test it:

wget http://translationproject.org/PO-files/es/util-linux-ng-2.17.1-rc1.es.po
msgfmt util-linux-ng-2.17.1-rc1.es.po
mv messages.mo /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/util-linux-ng.mo


(Will continue to work on it, as it has still lot of work to do).
