Title:
  Grammar: ‘Even more earlier’ sounds redundant

Status in Document Viewer application for Ubuntu devices:
  New
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I’ve found this string while translating:

  https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docviewer-
  app/trunk/+pots/com.ubuntu.docviewer/es/30/+translate

  It says: “Even more earlier...” The “more” part is redundant when you
  use a comparative [1], “earlier” in this case.

  You have two options: either you use “Even more early” or “Even
  earlier”.
