About the English translations

Translations

I have translated some of my articles into English with the help of DeepL and I also make most of them available for download as pdf. They can be found in the „English section“.
Even if they are certainly not linguistically perfect and contain some translation errors: I hope to expand the circle of those who use and pass on this information.
