Re: Emacs user manual in Spanish

[Devin Prater <r.d.t.prater@gmail.com>]

The biggest problem would be, then: what about other packages in
Elpa/Melpa? What about accessibility systems which use Emacs, like
Emacspeak or even Speechd-el? Those would have to be translated as well,
and for Emacspeak, which deals a lot with actually helping the user to
know what content is, rather than just reading it to them, it can be a
big job translating all that. Of course, Google Translate could do all
that, but if we're not going that rout, then we do need to consider
other packages besides the root: Emacs.
