[Localization] Translations

[Rafael Enrique Ortiz Guerrero]

Hi Bert,

yep malla is the literal translation of mesh, and in spanish case it reffers
also to the topology of the network, so it means what it should, so is
better in my opinion to leave it like malla instead of mesh...but i also
wonder if a less technicall term would be better.
