Description

Of the top 5 languages spoken in the world (Ethnologue (2025)):

  • Mandarin Chinese
  • Spanish
  • English
  • Hindi
  • Portuguese

Only english is battle-tested. The others are mostly DeepL slop I would really like to cover comfortably most common languages. So any contribution is very welcome!
