SCN in Spanish

As it stands:

"El servicio de traducción de AltaVista le deja leer cualquier Web page inglés en español. En la forma de la traducción, usted debe presionar el botón marcado "Translate." Si usted ve símbolos inusuales en vez de caracteres españoles, controle las configuraciones en su programa de las comunicaciones. Hay varios programas de las comunicaciones en el área de la transferencia directa del programa que visualizan caracteres internacionales correctamente.

By my decent (but not truly fluent) Spnaish, it looks comprehensible as it stands. A few of remarks.

"Usted" should always be capitalized.

"Inusuales" should be "no usuales".

I would say "cambia las configuraciones" rather than "controle las configuraciones".

I think the last phrase would be more natural as "que visualizan correctamente los caracteres internacionales."

   SCN's pages are readable in Spanish, along with other English 
language pages on the Web, with Alta Vista's language 
translation service. The results are mixed, but are usually 
usable enough that people can figure out what the pages say.

   Could someone who knows Spanish well have a look at the blurb 
about this on the SCN home page, and make sure it all makes 
sense? It should be comprehensible, but after unbending the more 
obvious snafus in Alta Vista's translation, there may still be 
some errors, and I'm not particularly fluent in Spanish.
