We always need people to help on translations... I took that occasion
to create a new page on the Wiki to help getting a picture where help
is needed and who is in charge...

If you maintain an international version of TeXmacs, please let you be
known, so that we can fill that page.

Regarding the spanish translation, I believe the right person to ask
is Alvaro: address@hidden

I made those files up to date with the latest help style, and put them
online at:

http://alqua.com/tmresources/contributed%20documents

or

http://ddaa10.free.fr/texmacs/doc

since I am unable again to upload files to the Wiki :-(

A few comments: you should have set the document style to "help"
instead of letter. You also should have used the (sub)menu macros (now
the menu function) instead of using "samp" and arrows in math mode.

I could help on this, but a number of clarifications are required
first...

You say every section starts in a new page. Do you really mean every
section, or every chapter? If you mean section, how are chapter titles
displayed?

You talk of a 5cm top margin at section (chapter?) start. Is that 5cm
in addition to the usual top margin, or actually 5cm from border of
paper?

Section and subsection titles should be in real caps (ugly and
unsupported at the moment, though the modification is easy) or in
small caps (nicer but requires the use of Computer Roman fonts on
TeXmacs)?

For the paragraph style, you may set the first indentation and
interparagraph space in package file of your own (do not forget to use
"None" style) and use it in your document.
 
Hope this helps.
