My copy, "Fouth Edition, Revised and Enlarged", 1983, has the names of all 
the birds in British, Dutch, German, Franch, and Swedish, plus "North American"
if different from British, but no Spanish.  Is there a revised edition that
adds Spanish?  I don't think so.  Fortunately, the wardens I met at nature
reserves spoke French, and so the French names in the guide were helpful.
