New language available: Spanish

With the amazing work of Gonzalo Cao Cabeza de Vaca, Observation Manager is now translated into spanish (in version
1.121). As ~450 million people in the world speak spanish, this is a tremendous step forward in making Observation
Manager available to its users in their mother tongue.

Spanish is the 9th language, in which you can run Observation Manager.
Wanna make your mother tongue no. 10? Contact me!

Besides the already announced finnish translation in 1.121, the new version will also contain an italian translation.
