Hello,

I have no idea of spanish. But for translations the most important part 
is the translation of the meaning not the word itself.

Instead of "cool" try the translation of "awesome", "excellent" or just 
"good". I would even consider "fantastic", because in german it refers 
to something exceptional good (another phrase) and something not real. 
Not sure what is more common in english or spanish.

If you are still in doubt, if your translation is correct, do a short 
test. Grep another spanish-speaking person in the near (no need for them 
to speak english) and let them read your translation. Afterwards (!) ask 
them what they understand. If they get it right, your translation is a 
good basic to start :)

Hope this helps.

Greetings,
Torsten
