When the semi-literate American developers learn to

spell their own language and perhaps then go on to

learn another easier language, making their own

code bi-lingual, they will have a justification

for asking busy literate non-English speaking

developers to translate their documentation.

It looks to me as if this project is very successful.

Maybe they are meeting a need in the Spanish-speaking

world and should concentrate on that and not worry

about those who already have plenty of English-documented solutions

to pick from.

BIF's intention is to save you from programming those common things that all applications have, leaving you time to code your business functionality. That's the idea of a framework, not make magic and correct the bad programmer's code.
