[Localization] [Important] Translating strings for the Activation Server

[Rafael Enrique Ortiz Guerrero]

Hi all,

Thanks to Peru's volunteers these strings are all  already translated to
.es, we are waiting to solve some fuzzy strings..(it seems that developer's
English is very difficult to translate precisely :)).

P.S (in this case i'm not worry about this fuzziness because this wont be
read by children)

cheers!
