#4Is there any reason the code is written half Spanish half English? As I'm from the Netherlands my understanding of the English language is great but because this is in Spanish I have to use Google translate to read te code.

#5It is nicely done and unlike what3words.com (which is very similar) this version isn't commercial.
The icon acting as a visual hash is a nice touch.

The original code was written in spanish (my native language) and I translated to english, let me know your particular problem with the code and I will change it.
