Yeah, you are right Eduard, it seems that we are not accepting people, but
the reality is another.
In the translation team there is a disclaimer that says "*Apply when you
are experienced enough*", and it's stated clearly that they can help the
translation process (and I ensure that most of them help a lot, but as
said, there are some mistakes --a few don't even check for the Guidelines).

Above all, thanks for understanding our situation; as a coordinator of
other teams and member of the Spanish team I must say that ensuring a good
and neutral translation of the last one is absolutely complicated.

Regards.
