New submission from Martin Panter: This patch changes instances of “. . . allows to <verb>” to “. . . allows <verb>ing” or similar. I understand the original form is not correct English grammar, although the equivalent is apparently valid in some other languages. As a native English speaker it feels awkward to me, although the meaning is clear. This question & answer <https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/60271/grammatical-complements-for-allow> seem to back me up, but I thought I should get a quick review or second opinion before changing everything.
