  Any languages besides Spanish planned?

    Basque AFAIK, but it’s one dude. He’s working on making it possible to contribute language courses without his help or much technical knowledge.

    Basically, a lot of the core code is done, what’s missing is a nice UI for learning and language course editor, because at the moment it’s just a bunch of files.

      With Spanish and Basque you can work as a translator in Spanish parliament. Nice.

  As far as I LOVE this kind of thing, people really should stop using Libre something for their versions. Sounds weird

    Why? It’s just Spanish for “free”.

      I know! I’m Brazilian and it’s almost the same as here, “livre”. It’s not a real problem, just a thing I don’t like. Too many consonants
