Love to. I checked out the homepage today and didn't see anything about translated documentation. Could you post a link?

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.

An effort to produce english documentation is being done now, maybe you should check it.
Re: Language use
An english translation of the documentation would certainly help widen the project's audience
Language use
I find it very annoying how two different languages are
used together. The one (English) I understand completely,
but the other, I don't understand at all. This makes it
difficult to read documentation and comments in the code.
For me, it's a reason not to use BIF.
A bit of an aside...
The name of this project reminds me of my long-standing intention to open a business named "BIF & FIL Software" (Build it Fast and Fix it Later). Isn't this the common paradigm in software development?

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.
