[Daniel Cabrera]

Greetings websites team, my name is Daniel Cabrera, and I'm one of the
members of the Spanish translation team. 
After Ian's great contribution related to the translation of wiki pages
[1], we gradually began to work on it. As translated pages were
increasing, we begin to think what a great idea would be to categorize
them, so we can accelerate and simplify the process of finding them. And
after tweaking a bit, we've found that this is possible by creating a
Fedora sub-project category named 'Es' [2].
So, finally, the main purpose of this mail is to double check with you
guys if this is the proper way to categorize our translated pages. I
mean, perhaps you think that there is another - better - way for doing
it, or perhaps you don't think that this is a good idea at all.

I look forward for your comments, best regards, 
Daniel Cabrera (es)

So what we can do is automatically add pages to a category based on
their language, instead of manually adding a second category to every
page (that can get messy).

You could add the category into [[Template:Autolang]]'s code. It's a bit
of template soup, so if you'd like help, just ask.

I would rather have [[Category:Es translations]] (or something of the
like) instead of just the language code in order to prevent confusion
from arising on what it's for or where it comes from.

This would be perfect Ian, thanks a lot. 
And yes, I need help, so, if you don't mind guiding me trough the
process, the Spanish team will be really thankful.

If it's OK with you, we'd like to create a category named "Spanish".

Alright, this is on my todo list for tomorrow (Tuesdays and Thursdays I
have somewhat lighter class loads). It shouldn't be too hard to generate
something like [[Category:Spanish translations]] (I'd still prefer it to
have 'translations' tacked on) because the language is dynamically
generated in the template as well.
