And please take care that the "@node"-lines are not broken.
Some text editors do this automatically.

We also have to mask the Spanish special characters ("ñ" etc) by appropriate
@-tags, but I think we can automatically replace them afterwards. Just 
give us
a list of all special characters.

With the homepage, there is some similar need: We have mask the
special characters with &...;, as the encoding is fixed to Russian.

Also, please wait for some hours before your svn-download, I'll adapt
the output-files.lua myself, that's difficult because of the encoding.

Every page you do not translate is automatically replaced by its English
version, such that there is always a complete homepage for your Spanish
fellows. Can we contact you each month (or more often) to have the LotM,
news etc. translated?

Greets,
Andreas
