[Translators-l] 2012 Editor Survey is about to launch

[Alhen]

Thanks for preparing the survey. I wonder you reviewed Spanish translation,
but I guess they forgot Wikipedia in Spanish doesn't use "usted", a formal
way to address someone. We use "tú", which is more familiar. Where can I
make some suggestions, changes, etc?

> texts, and page layout, and the work performed by correctors).
