Make a new team from scratch (Argentine Spanish)

[Alejo Fernandez]

Hello Albert,

Thank you for getting back to me. I appreciate your time.

The main reason for proposing an Argentine Spanish (es_AR) translation is
to provide a more localized and natural experience for users in Argentina.
While the standard Spanish translation has served well for decades, there
are significant regional differences in vocabulary, expressions, and even
grammatical structures that can make software feel less intuitive to native
speakers.

My plan for this translation is:

   1. *Maintain consistency with KDE's guidelines* while adapting terms to
   fit everyday Argentine usage.
   2. *Use an informal tone*, which aligns with how most users in Argentina
   interact with technology.
   3. *Ensure clarity and usability* by avoiding overly neutral or
   ambiguous terms that may not feel natural to local users.

This is not meant to replace the existing Spanish translation but rather to
offer an alternative for those who prefer a more localized experience,
similar to how KDE supports different English variants.

Let me know if you’d like more details! I’d love to discuss this further.

Best regards,
Alejo Fernández
