 * Hi guys,
    have a very simple noob question for which I can’t find a simple answer.
   Have to manually add the spanish localization files to my WP installation. The“
   Installing WordPress in Your Language” and “WordPress in Your Language” pages
   simply states to “Download the .mo language file for your language”, pointing
   to the svn repository, which I actually really don’t know how to use and don’t
   have time to learn right now. So could you please just tell me which specific
   dir I have to crawl and files have to download? Thanks. 😀

 * Oh! This is a very brilliant workaround, which I really didn’t thought about!
   Thanks a lot! 🙂
 * But just for curiosity, could you be able to tell me what are the files in the
   repository the “WordPress in Your Language” is talking about? I’ve installed 
   a svn client to see if I would get to download only the right ones, the rest 
   being some configuration svn stuff I don’t know about, but I got the same full
   rep package that I see online.
 * By reading the “Using Subversion” section I might have get that they are the 
   ones under /tags/3.8.1/messages though still there are these continent-cities-
   es_ES files which are not included in the spanish version of the installation
   you provided. Also for each .mo file there’s a .po file whose meaning the “WordPress
   in Your Language” does not cover at all.
 * I mean, point is that I think that part is really obscure. 🙂
