Hi Deb, Great improvement!
Looking at the page, I only notice one major error. My language is Dutch (nl), and so my browser/computer system is set that way. However the phrase is spelled wrong: it says: "De vrieje encyclopedie" while it should say "De vrije encyclopedie". So: vrieje -> vrije. "vrieje" is not a Dutch word. Can this be fixed? Further I would recommend one thing to be added to the page. Because large parts of the word visit Wikipedia through internet cafés and computers elsewhere, I would suggest in the top right/left corner an option to change the language. And one final question: will the bottom section of the page also be translatable? Thanks!
