  Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world. This patch set
starts the process of translating critical kernel documentation into the
Spanish language.

I'm happy to see a Spanish translation of the docs, certainly.  I do
worry, though, that the desire to create translations tends to exceed
the desire to keep them maintained and current over time. Is it your
plan to continue to maintain these going forward?  Is anybody else
planning to help you with this task?

Along those lines, a MAINTAINERS entry for the Spanish translation would
be a good thing to add.

Thanks,

jon

Absolutely, I’m aware this will require future maintenance, and understand
that is going to mean an effort from my side. I will do it with pleasure. I
just wish I had started earlier.

I’m sending v2 including the pertinent changes in MAINTAINERS. It will also
have minor improvements to make the test robot happy and details found
reviewing the translations again.

I plan to continue translating the rest of files at the pace time permits.

Thanks John,
Carlos
