I'll don't  understand never.

If you, translate to spanish instead Catalan (is the same work, and all 
catalonians speaks spanish), all spanish and catalan speakers (spanish 
information is small too) could benefit of this.

Anyway, congratulations for the initiative and the work to do it.

Un saludo.
