Translation Notes

Language translation capability is now attached to our browsers.  Select your browser’s triple-dots and look for a language translation selection.  If none, find and load a language translation browser extension. 

I only know a little Spanish and French (in addition to my native American English).  Please write me if you have any suggestions. I would like to know if people are even using the translation feature, or are just using English.  I can’t change translations, but perhaps I can alter my text to improve understanding. For example, the translation of Pickup to Pickup is improved by adding an adjective: Magnetic Pickup to Magnetic Pickup.
