First Impressions:
- ESP version had a typo, "esmantener"
-  Translation of warning is inconsistent w/ FEMA
- Titles for both alerts were in ESP
- ESP version did not have addtl. details

I changed my iPhone language to Spanish for the national WEA test.

As expected, and defined by international ATIS/GSM standards, the phone
displayed both the English (primary) and Spanish (Secondary) messages.


I don't know why FEMA spokepeople give incorrect information about WEA
secondary languages.  Its like FCC Chairman couldn't help himself with
wrong claims about 0.1 mile geo-targeting.
