Thanks for those fixes. I installed them into the experimental version
on github. That's pretty good, fixing a spelling error in French -- I
would not have caught that. You inspired me to find some more spelling
mistakes, one in Spanish, plus a few accent fixes. I applied the
attached patch too. I'm sure there are more errors like that.
