They were machine-produced and have NOT been reviewed by a speaker of those languages, so they do not meet the general expectations as they stand. I am not requesting any editor role for them, and I am not asking anyone to approve them. They are offered only as a starting point for whoever wants one – please reject or discard them freely if they are not useful to your team. If a team would rather not have them sitting in the queue at all, say so here and I will remove them. A small heads-up for German reviewers: the import raised 19 “missing the initial lowercase” warnings. They are all German nouns being capitalised (site voice -> Website-Stimme), so they are false positives. If you have any questions, just comment here. Thank you!
