Juan Palacio in Navegapolis writes that the country of Peru, not wanting to re-invent the wheel, has translated the international standard ISO/IEC 12207 into Spanish and has offered the Norma Tecnica (Technical Standards) to local organisations and companies as the official Peruvian standard. This move will obviously be welcomed by Peruvian companies as they don't have to worry about two different standards. It is also very useful to Spanish software engineers as the standard was not available in Spanish before, and the English version costs 100€ to purchase.
