     let me say here for the benefit of others looking for foreign language

     word?) that will generate PSPP's error messages in Brazilian
     Portuguese,  Catalan, Dutch, French, German, Lithuanian , Slovenian,
     and Spanish.
     
     But where does someone go to find out how to install these and get
     them recognized by PSPP?

They are not "add-ons".  All the translations are distributed with PSPP itself.
If the user's login environment is set to (say) German, then that's the language
that PSPP will display its messages.   Usually, no special configuration is 
needed.

     Can I do that via email or must it be done via the web?  Also, should

Doing it via the web page at http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=pspp is 
prefered.
That way it is less likely to be overlooked.

     I also open a bug report with suggestions about improving search
     engine awareness of the foreign language versions?  

For reasons given above, I don't think anything is needed in this area.

        There needs to be some mention of the other languages on the home page.

Yes, that seems like a reasonable suggestion.
     
     Also, the link on the PSPP home page that goes to a Blog in "en"
     actually leads me to what I think is the Brazilian Portuguese version
     of the blog.

It would seem that you are right.
     
     Is that 3 bug reports?

2 or 3 - I've lost count.  1 bug report per issue, please.  That way we can keep
track of what has been fixed and what hasn't.

Thanks for helping to improve PSPP.
