This part is for Kevin and Thorsten, they will create the cover page.

@ Kevin: Do we have the possibility to define such a \dash behaviour?

Don’t worry, you have done all right in the following part. :-)

They are not used in the manual if I remember correctly, they are here
only for completeness of all translations made by the package
»Polyglossia« which we use to make the translation of some LaTeX key
words.

I have added the updated file. Did I made it correctly? You didn’t
mention the abbreviations i.e. and e.g. so I assume, they are the same
like in English?

This sound like, that you have problems building the PDF. As I
mentioned in my last email, did you follow the instructions on the
manual website [1]? We will support you, but you should give us the
complete error message of the latex run :-) But in the mean time, I
have uploaded the Spanish PDF file to my U1 space [2]. Your three
points should not be a problem in the finished manual. Please check it.

Greetings, Carsten
