Hi there!

Just a quick heads-up — a helpful user named Volker let me know that some of the non-English content on this site may not be accurate.

This site is a one-person project I run part-time. I research and publish all the content myself, and the translations are currently done by machine (Google Translate). Balancing accuracy and accessibility across multiple languages is a real challenge.

If you spot any errors, I recommend switching to the English version using the button at the bottom left. I’ll continue working to improve the translations over time.

I truly appreciate your understanding. And if you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment — it means a lot to me.
