Hi j_philipp,

  Have you ever seen product manuals that come in many languages? The
Spanish portion is *always* longer than the English portion!  ;-)

Here are some shorter versions. (I missed seeing where you had the
"About..." in English on the home page, and should have used the word
"Sobre" instead!):

About--> 
Sobre...  ("About..." This could work well alone too, matching the
format you have in English)
Sobre este sitio (About this site)
¿De que se trata?  (What are we about?)
Acerca de nosotros (About us)
Guía  (Guide, as in a guide to using this site)* I think "Guía" would
work well here, as this page tells "How to use this site".
Original:(Todo acerca de FindForward)




Weblog Newsfeeds ->
Noticias blogs
Original:(Noticias suministradas por weblogs)
The terms "Blogs" and "weblogs" are used on Spanish language sites, by the way.

This should save you some page space!

Regards,
crabcakes
