The text in the software review editor in Spanish looks good.
There is no Spanish text for the changes in the file "software review_author".Rmd (I don't know if it is because the translation is lacking or because we have already review that text)

I think nothing was changed in the content here to translate, right?

Seems like this sentence is missing in the softwarereview_author.pt.Rmd file.. not sure why. So it's not showing here for review the translation. I will add this change.
"Once the response is commited, submit it using the bot."

Small note for editors, related to #832, but for editors to check that authors use the bot to record their responses to reviewers.
Without also cross-referencing the authors guide, it can be easy to miss this as an editor.
