Yeah, you are right Eduard, it seems that we are not accepting people, but the reality is another. In the translation team there is a disclaimer that says "*Apply when you are experienced enough*", and it's stated clearly that they can help the translation process (and I ensure that most of them help a lot, but as said, there are some mistakes --a few don't even check for the Guidelines).
Above all, thanks for understanding our situation; as a coordinator of other teams and member of the Spanish team I must say that ensuring a good and neutral translation of the last one is absolutely complicated.
