Hmmm, I use sugar-jhbuild here in an F11 virtual machine (I'm on a  
Mac) and popping in to the control panel in Sugar for Language and  
selecting "Spanish (Peru)" and rebooting Sugar is my usual test  
procedure for checking strings. After the restart, I then hunt the UI  
for anything (still in English) I might have missed, assuming you have  
Spanish translations for your activity, obviously.
