I think the problem will be maintain the work over time. If we had the
option to have a "es" master translation, and do only specific changes to
"es_AR", "es_UY", etc would be different, but I think that is nos possible
right now.

I agree, is outdated, but may be is good start.

Thanks! I am really starting with all this. I really appreciate your
comments.
