Hi @jeangalea, all es_ES stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. reviewed.

The quality of the tranlations is very good and most stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. are perfect, but you have some technical issues, most of them in News aggregator (changes requested) and Vireo Analytics (changes requested)

Whatever method you are using to manage the translation files, is messing the line breaks (sample) and the strings with plurals (sample)

You also must keep in mind that in es_ES we use angular quotes («»). Once you fix those issues, please reply to this message to review.

Thanks for the thorough review, @nilovelez. The line breaks and plurals were a file-handling bug on my side: paragraph breaks were getting stripped on export and the plural forms weren’t parsing back correctly. Both are fixed and re-imported for WP RSS Aggregator and Vireo Analytics, and I’ve moved es_ES to angular quotes «» throughout. Ready for another look. I’ll jump into #polyglots-es too.
