The locale for Spain Spanish is the main entry, ie es_ES.
The Latin American locales are diverse.

Spanish Argentina es_AR

Spanish Bolivia es_BO

Spanish Chile es_CL

Spanish Colombia es_CO

Spanish Costa Rica es_CR

Spanish Dominican Republic es_DO

Spanish Ecuador es_EC

Spanish El Salvador es_SV

Spanish Guatemala es_GT

Spanish Honduras es_HN

Spanish Mexico es_MX

Spanish Nicaragua es_NI

Spanish Panama es_PA

Spanish Paraguay es_PY

Spanish Peru es_PE

Spanish Puerto Rico es_PR

Spanish Uruguay es_UY

Spanish Venezuela es_VE

I don't know who contributed the original Spanish translation. I'd
recommend finding out where that person is from and switch the locale to
his location, which is apparently not Spain. If that is impossible,
perhaps Mexico or Brazil would be an appropriate default locale for the
current translation, and Senor Moreno's version applied as es_ES. It would
be a nice addition, since, I'm trying to teach my daughter some Spanish.
More variety is usually better.
