Hi Niklas, I know that in Finnish each word should be changed the same as in Russian, that's why it causes the problems with translation. Right now I am looking for solutions which can help find the original word. I put this language as an example, which shows the purpose of using, of course after implementing English others languages could be added with wider support.
