Thanks for bringing this up. That back-translation is definitely
strange. Looks like it was a literal translation, which isn't always the
best here.

I can't push any more msgid changes in Oneiric, so Is there a better way
this could be expressed in Spanish? At least with English stuff in
western Canada, the concept of “we work for real people” isn't unusual,
where the purpose is to indirectly tell the reader we realize he/she is
a real person. (The usual weirdness, of course, with English making no
sense. And I'm sure it's culturally sensitive, too).

The copy will surely be fiddled with in the next release, but do you
think a note for translators would have helped in this case?

Title:
  Slideshow: "Ubuntu is all about working for real people"

Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am doing beta 2 testing for Oneiric and found a very strange sentence for this:
  "At the heart of Ubuntu’s philosophy is a belief that computing is for everyone. With advanced accessibility tools and options like your preferred color scheme, text size, and language, Ubuntu is all about working for real people."

  Which has ended up on a Spanish translation such as this: 
  "..., Ubuntu funciona para la gente auténtica." -> "Ubuntu works for authentic people."

  I think the original sentence is somehow implying that Ubuntu is not
  for everyone, but only for real people, and I am not sure who are
  "real people" vs "not so real people". I would like to see something
  along the lines of "Ubuntu works for everyone" rather, which is a
  positive and neutral sentence and doesn't exclude anyone.
