May I interrupt your joy and ask you to be careful in implementing that?

Having like 6x Spanish versions may mean more cost to maintain the Spanish 
languages, effort multiplication for some things.

If you look at the code of language loading, there is a trivial algorithm that 
would first try to load "es_MX" and if it doesn't exist, retry with "es".

So, my suggestion is to keep as much translations as possible under "es" 
(things that can be common), and then only fork the modules that have a strict 
terminology under the es_XX files.

[ Perhaps we could make some code to merge es => es_XX for parts of the 
strings]

My humble opinion, as always.

Bug description:
Hello.

IMHO, we should count with the lenguages availables around all countries where there are community working around openERP, Spanish is speaked in almost 22 countries, not only Spain and Argentina (the last one has not done almost anything in them translation around the last 2 years.) but Spain yes.

We are growing up quickly in LatinAmerica and we think as partners and community members that have available his own commercial lenguaje around OpenERP installes OutOfthebox should be very insteresting to incentivate several more instalations in LA.

I propose a patch with countries where I know there are people working hard with community, and there are partners.

Regards.
