[Cin] Po files for spanish translation

[Sergio Daniel Gomez]

It would be great if the manual could be translated from wordpress. I 
have no problems with Latex, it is by far the best software for all 
kinds of publications. But it is more useful to do it from worpress 
because it allows to have the text in English and automatically 
available to be translated into any language.
In addition (and this may be too intrusive), each chapter of the manual 
could be on the web and downloadable as a single book.
