Brian:

I sent you some months ago the links you can paste in the main wiki
page, but you didn't paste them.

All the ES versions have links to the english versions, and all the
english versions i can edit have also links to the ES versions. In
this way one single clic is all you need to see the same text in the
language you prefer, and switch easily between languages in each page.

But i can not edit the main page: I think you are the only one who can
edit it, and i dont know if you:

A) You forget (or dont received) my two or three emails asking you to
paste the links in the main wiki page.
B) You hate spanish language or hate me (i could understand im very
very ugly and a complicated and extraneous guy, but im not The Evil,
nor an angel, you can sure of that), and you dont want to paste the
links, and will not paste them never.
C) My english is not good, and you really love me very very much, but
i can not explain the thing in a way you can understand me...
D) Another very good reason i can't imagine at all.

PD: I will aware about spanish translations, but if (and only if) they
are linked in the main wiki page.

I will not spend time to send the files (and therefore many hours of
tedious work) to the basket.

I'm sure you could understand it.
