[GRASS translations] New translator

[Daniel Victoria]

Paulo is giving me a short crash course on KBabel diffs so I can send
him my work.

I guess also the best thing for me to do is to read some CVS tutorials
also so I can try and make the diffs. Once I get the hang of it, I
could send the diffs to someone (Markus? Paulo?).

Cheers
Daniel
