Check the localization mailing list at http://mail.sf-day.org/lists/listinfo/localization and ask there for credentials to the website backoffice, that will let you translate the main website's content. From what I see, there's already some content translated to Spanish, but in there you can choose whatever you want to translate first, so you can decide wether to translate all or not, and in which order. When I started the Portuguese translation I decided to start first with all the content that appeared on the main page. -- Marcos Marado
