Hey! Sorry for the late response. By default only English was available but I found a lot of my users we from France, so I added the French language support using Google translate - that's why the translation is poor.

I'll try to add a way to switch locale to English or do you think it's better to keep just English as the only language till I can get other languages translated professionally?

Edit: Added language dropdown on the top-right of the landing page.

Hi! Thanks for taking into account my request, I appreciate it! Just wanted to warn you that I unfortunately have a CSRF error when trying to switch the language.

Edit: It still appears to be an issue - I'll post an update here after I fully fixed it.

Replying to my own comment to update on the issue: The issue seems to be related to session-id and CSRF token not being correct. Unfortunately, I would need to try a clean install (I probably messed with some Django settings) and test again which I can't do right now due to other work that I have. So, for now, I've just disabled fr locale totally - meaning, you will only see the website in English. Since you mentioned that the translation is bad, I'm not sure how helpful it will be to just leave a bad translation as default. Sorry about this!
