I've made contact with kerck, got invited as an editor in the Google Docs file and I'm currently doing corrective work on his translations and see what else can I add.

Something I'm doing different is that I downloaded the official BFRPG ODT file and I'm working the translations directly into it, that way I know it won't mess up the layout.

Some sugestions

Halflings = Medianos, instead of Medios
Remove all the english words in parenthesis
Personaje de Jugador = Personaje Jugador
GM = MJ (Maestro del Juego)

If you send me translated text without the art, tables, etc. your translation will be shared, but it will probably NEVER see print. Reformatting a document I can't read is just too hard. So Jbastardov, you are doing the right thing.

Cómo sabrías como cuales palabras usar* :D

If someone wants to work on a core rules translation and doesn't intend to use for print (IE more intended for on-screen/PDF use), you may want to work with my tablet-friendly ODT file; the layout and complexity is WAY less.

Done, done (partially, work in progress), done and done ;)

This is fantastic and I didn't noticed it before. Personally, I want to do the hard part first.

Keep all the art, tables, etc. in place as best you can. Don't sweat it if the flow breaks down somewhat, I'll hammer that out. But if I have to put it all back, well... that's a monumental task I'm not likely to undertake.

By the way, if frames or images disappear on you, hit F5 and edit them from there. I usually have to change the positioning (say, center to left), save changes, then change it back to get the images back on the screen when they disappear. It's the only major bug left in LibreOffice that troubles me.

Will do, and try my best. I've worked with LibreOffice in the past, but this will be the most extend work I have ever done with it.

Regarding proper names such as Morningstar that could be translated (Estrelladelalba, Estrelladiurna, Lucerodelalba), should I translate those as well or just leave them?

Yo probaria el traducirlos, no me molesta que queden en ingles, y si bien algunos pueden quedar feos de oir o dificiles de pronunciar, creo q es lo mejor para aquellos que no saben ingles ;)

En el caso en que se vuelva muy tedioso o dificil el traducir muchos nombres pasaria a dejarlos en ingles.
