Hi all,

I'm currently working on the Spanish translation of the Ubuntu manual and I
found what I think it could errors in the original text. So I include the
ones I found so far for you consideration, as I'm not sure what should be
done after the manual has been released:


   - *To move a window around the workspace, place the mouse pointer over
   the window's title bar, then click and drag the window while continuing to
   hold down the left mouse button. You can also move a window by
holding the>>\keystroke{Alt} key and then clicking and holding the
left mouse button
   while pointing at the >>title bar<< of the window and dragging the
   window<< to a new location. To resize a window, place the pointer on an
   edge or corner of the window so that the pointer turns into a larger,
   two-sided arrow (known as the resize icon). You can then click and drag to
   resize the window*

>>There is no need to point to the tilte bar. If you press Alt key, any
place in the window will do it.<<

   - [toolbar] On the right side of the toolbar, there are five buttons:
   \button{Search} (represented by a magnifying glass), \button{View items as
   a grid}, \button{View items as a list}, \button{View options} (represented
   by a down arrow), and \button{Location options} (represented by a cog);
   clicking on the \button{Search} icon opens a field so you can search for a
   file or folder by name. Clicking on the options buttons \button{Location
   options} or \button{View options} opens a menu with options. On the left
   side of the toolbar, you will see a representation of your current
   browsing. This is similar to the history function in most web browsers; it
   keeps track of where you are and allows you to backtrack if necessary. You
   can click on any of the locations to navigate back through the file
   browser. The buttons \button{Previous location} and *>>{Next
location}<<*allow you to navigate through previously visited
locations.

>>It should be "\button{Next location}".<<

   - After moving the files into the Ubuntu One synced folder, you should
   receive a notification informing you that syncing has begun. When syncing
   completes, *>>the<<* another notice will appear stating that the syncing
   has completed.

 >>I think it should be "When syncing completes, another notice..." (though
as I'm not an English native speaker, I could be wrong).<<

   - Ubuntu One is a service for storing your files online in your Ubuntu
   One \emph{Personal Cloud}. Your Ubuntu One Personal Cloud is your personal
   online storage space, and it can be accessed in any web browser or using an
   Ubuntu One application (available for Ubuntu, Mac \acronym{OS~X}, Windows,
   iPhone, and Android). Because Ubuntu One stores your files online, it's the
   perfect way to backup your files to prevent data loss. You can also use
   Ubuntu One to share files with other people\dash this makes Ubuntu One a
   great tool for friends, families, and collaborative teams. Ubuntu One also
   provides services for backing up *>>your contacts<<* and streaming music
   to mobile devices. The Ubuntu One service is provided by \gls{Canonical}.

>>Are the contacts still being synchronized with Ubuntu One? In some other
parts of the manual reference to contact synchronization has been removed
and only music streaming was left.<<

   - The keyboard is likely to be one of the main ways that you interact
   with your computer. Unfortunately not all keyboards are uniform in design;
   they can differ by country, by language or appearance. In Ubuntu 13.10, the
   default language set for the keyboard now appears as an applet menu *>>right
   next to the Network Manager<<* icon.

>>In my installation Ubuntu One icon is between both icons. I think this
could lead to confusion.<<

   - The Ubuntu Software Center can be used to install applications
   available in the official Ubuntu repositories. The Ubuntu Software Center
   window has *>>four<<* sections\dash a list of categories on the left, a
   banner at the top, a ``What's New'' panel below the top banner, then a
   ``Recommended For You'' panel, and finally a ``Top Rated'' panel at the
   bottom.

>>The four sections of the 13.04 manual became five in this release.<<

Thanks.
