Hello everyone, first I would like to say that english is not my native 
language so please forgive me if I don't write it very well but I'll try 
to do my best to make sence on it :-)

I'd checked out the last SVN code, compiled and runned it on my Linux 
box. I'd no problem at all and now my idea is to start fixing the 
spanish (my native language) translation of it while I learn more about 
how all works before doing other kind of things on the code.

So, my first issue on the support of several languages is that I saw 
that there're some parts that are static text inside the code. For what 
I see right now, the first screens when you create a new character 
(password entry, gender selection, class selection and race selection). 
Ofcourse till you select your preferred language, there's no way that we 
can know wich language to use for the player, so the first chooses (name 
and language) we have to stick with the english one (maybe we could add 
several lines each one with the corresponfing translation) but after 
that, it should be more convenient to have the rest on the language that 
the player choose.

Do you think that is possible at all?, is the idea of the project to 
keep it on several languages at the same time?.

Greettings and thanks for all.
Ernesto
