There will always be problems as I can't test every combination, and I 
know so little Spanish I can't even make a guess as to if it's working 
correctly. :)

I think I've fixed this now.

You will need to run:

  iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf8 es.po > tmp.po
  mv tmp.po es.po
  make
  make install

to make your existing po file work properly.

This is mostly because the strings that should be translated need to be 
specially marked in the source code, and I keep forgetting to do it as I

write the code, and I miss some each time I go through the source code 
looking for unmarked strings. :)

I've picked up some missing bits on the last run through the code, but
I'm 
sure I've missed others.  If you wish, you could make a list of things 
that haven't been translated and I'll try to find them in the code and 
mark them up.  The information I'll need is the name of the Window they 
are in, and what the English text is.

I've attached an updated es.po file (iso-8859-1 format) to this email, 
containing some strings that hadn't previously been marked up, including

menus.  If you could update this when you get time I'd be grateful.

In particular, you may want to look at strings marked "fuzzy" (search
for 
fuzzy in the text) as these are guesses on the part of the program that 
updates the .po files.  The bits at the end that look like "# ~msgstr" 
should be ignored and left where they are - they're currently unused in 
Papaya, but may be in future.  There are also some new 'empty' strings.

Thanks,
Cath
