Hi,

That's a really great news! Thanks for sharing it.
I browse quickly the content they have and wow, this is really
multilingual. I even found some bilingual books with Breton (mislabelled as
French) and I saw a lot of other minority languages!

Do you already know what the next steps will be? Do you need help?

Cheers, ~nicolas
