This doesn't fit with my memory at all. There was a group of people
that Mike Taht found/organized/motivated from somewhere in Central
America who redid the ardour2 spanish translation within the last
couple of years in which they specifically tried to find a sweet spot
between castillian and latin american spanish, removing the need for
multiple translations which apparently didn't make much sense for such
a "technical" translation.

I'll check later today - got to go drive a boat this morning :)

its a separate target because us developers don't want to have to do
this all the time.

./waf i18n

should take care of it, IIRC.
