I'm currently updating the PO files placed under $SALSA/.../po/es, 
and figured out (with your valuable help) how to file a proper bug report 
and how to deal (aka, do not disturb) with the mailing list 
«robomonitor» routine so the files can be pulled up/committed or whatever it is called now.

That's no problem.

The fact is that your answer makes me think I'm missing the point that 
these PO files are indeed the Installation Guide manual itself. Is that 
right? I always (maybe wrongly) thought installation-guide PO files were intended for 
Debian installer screen¹ and Installation Guide manual was a separate 
set of XML based files, ending up in our beloved online manual².

Yes, thanks, I already used that page to know about the status of the 
translations. I was just confused by the nomenclature in there, I 
mean, I thought PO-based translations (Spanish is at 89%) were different from 
XML-based translations (no stats at all, so... nobody's using XML format?).

If you say keeping PO files updated is all what we need to keep the 
Installation Guide XML synced and up-to-date, I'll just keep my current 
work on these files.

Thanks!
