[open-government] [Poplus] Re: [PMO Network] Open Up Your Legislature (!)

Hi all, again thanks for this great effort.
Regarding spanish translation we've changed it a bit for the Latinamerican
audience. Just a few suggestions ;)

We've created a new version for LATAM for anyone who's interested, keeping
the Spanish one in its original version.

Again, thanks so much!
