People who understand English can enable people who don't.
Once there are enough people who have access to ressource in their native 
language, there begins to be a production in the native language. And then 
people don't need the original language anymore. That's how it works. And 
that's a good thing.

It is only where there are not enough natives in a given language that there is 
a tendency to stick to the foreign language. It does not seem to be the case 
for Spanish. Plus technologies that have good ressources in the native language 
tend to be adopted first, for obvious reasons. So if we want Emacs and Lisp to 
be more popular with Spanish users it makes sense to produce the most Spanish 
documentation possible.
