Hi Simon,

Wow, we're almost there! :-)

Just some comments inline.

Spanish translation for manual and program messages are almost ready for
current master.

IIUC it hits builds for a 32-bit targets (armhf) when the machine is
running a 64-bit kernel (x86_64, aarch64 too?, as the current system),
but aren't these disabled in the farm and this mitigates the issue?

>From my side everything is A-OK, 2 weeks is more than enough to
translate the delta with pre1 and to make the final fine-tune; more than
that shouldn't be expected for the freeze period.  I hope I can do some
extra work too... :)

Happy hacking!
