Sure it's always easier said than done, but what's the main bump (we discussed 
this general idea long ago, and decided to stick with Save, and Hide, but you 
never mentioned where the non-triviality stemmed from in our case)?

Good to hear it's becoming less random (better chances to cure it I would 
hope), but why would that be? The à (I see an &agrave; here, check if that's 
what you meant) is not used in Spanish, ever, or the grave accent, for that 
matter.

You generally want to translate "notebook" as "cuaderno"; as always, beware of 
translating isolated words, as these are the most prone to blunders. Also, 
other translations may be possible depending on context but right now I can't 
think of one you're likely to bump into.

Thank you,
Alfred.
