Hello,

Your comments are quite valid. However a better approach to solving the problem is when people like you (especially English speakers) find the solutions, you modify the documentation to include the correct words for someone not familiar with the software to understand it, and then send that in as a contribution, then everyone (including me) benefits from your work :-)

Best regards,
Kern
