Hi list

Arnulf, your translation into Spanish is quite fine, but we have some
doubts about sponsors levels.

What's the difference between sustaining and supporting sponsors?

I've requested some help in the Spanish list because "patrocinadores
apoyadores" sounds strange so maybe in some hours we will have a
better title.

I'm not sure if that is possible, but maybe if someone takes care of a
translated web page (some kind of "maitainer") and on every change  on
a page all the other langages mantainers should be emailed to request
the update of the pages.

Watching the differences between current and previous page one should
be able to update their own local language page.

Maybe we can use Trac to log changes on the website and translators
could get tickets to update their pages.
