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.

An effort to produce english documentation is being done now, maybe you should check it.
