[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Guidelines for Spanish translation (Issue #4238)

[Andres Gomez Casanova]

### Problem

I have already verified or translated all entries in https://translatewiki.net. However, I see other Spanish translators arrive and change some entries that affect the entries' structure, which creates an uncomfortable reading.

Let me give you some examples:
* Some sentences are changed from "tu" to "usted." But most of the translations are already with "tu." This makes an incoherent reading and creates a sense of a low-quality project.
* They change to false-friends words. For example, redaction in OSM is to censor, but it is changed to "redacción," which in Spanish means Drafting. This new word completely changes the meaning of the text.

I have already created a set of words to use on the OSM website: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating_talk:OpenStreetMap#Spanish_words, but it seems the translators do not read it. Also, I created a Communities thread to read what people think: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/spanish-osm-website-translation-mensajes-en-la-pagina-de-osm-deben-tutear-o-ustear/103509

Translations lack a government, creating a revert war.

What is the best way to solve this issue and prevent the website from importing a set of invalid translations?

* Create an entry on this page for the guidelines. Probably, following the guidelines from wiki - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ES:Wikiproyecto_Traducci%C3%B3n_en_espa%C3%B1ol
* Have a group of people review the entries, not everyone.
