I don't have any problems to translate it into english but i just want to inform you about that. :)

I assume that you are talking about https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/trusty/+pots/ddtp-ubuntu-universe/en_GB/11210/+translate which belongs to the fortunes-eo-ascii package "Collection of esperanto fortunes (ascii encoding)"

This isn't Spanish, but Esperanto

The fortunes-eo-ascii package is a list of proverbs, quotes, jokes etc., and in my opinion it does not make any sense to try translating that. There is the equivalent package "fortunes" with English data.
