Well, I said HEAD but if S2_1 is not going to be released soon, of 
course I will focus on S2_1 and try to translate as much as possible.

That's one thing I don't understand. I mean, merge the changes from one 
branch to another, what does it really means (in term of commands) ?

Becuase I red that it's enough to run 'make' under po/ directory, and so 
merge freeciv.pot with es.po into the new file, and start editing. Is it 
just that? Or is there a more complicated process which I didn't catch yet?

I mean, after reading this, I just should get the S2_1 SVN version and 
start editing es.po, then generate the diff file and so upload it. Isn't it?

After the S2_1 is released, new messages can be added, so after that, I 
think that then is necessary to do 'msgmerge freeciv.pot es.po > 
new_es.po' and translate new untranslated messages and correct fuzzy 
messages. Isn't it?

Well, I use and love Gnome, but before loving Gnome I felt in love with 
VIM. And that love will never die, :-P

But thanks anyway for the suggestion :)
