It's main purpose was to help out, when the biggest German instance died. So naturally I choose German. I don't know how easy it be to offer several languages, but I might translate it to English and test it, when I have time

The downside is, that I'm no JS or frontend dev. So this was just "some scripting" without framework. The problem is not the translation itself, but that there's no internationalisation support in the code.

I know dogshit about JS frameworks, so it's just a little state machine in vanilla JS duct taped with some hardcode HTML and some random material design CSS and a CSS class that allows me to set everything but the current step to invisible, lol.

And since everything is there in one place, hardcoded in the HTML (just visible: none), it's trivial to translate. But hard to offer several languages unless you duplicate the HTML.

But... I'm currently moving several things from GitHub to Codeberg, so I might just do an English version there?

Oh, okay, yeah, I had no idea of the architecture. And ditching GitHub is always a good move, for as long as it's owned by its current owner! See you on Codeberg.
