ahh right, wrong error. This is the one I get: Uncaught Error: Minified React error #418; visit https://react.dev/errors/418?args[]=HTML&args[]= for the full message or use the non-minified dev environment for full errors and additional helpful warnings.

That's from an incognito window on Chrome

That's a React hydration mismatch. I'm aware of it but hadn't seen it block functionality before. Thanks for flagging that it does for you. Can I ask: when you load the page, do you see the language selector (a dropdown/search where you pick languages like English, French, etc.)? The search button only activates after selecting at least one language — if the hydration error is breaking the selector, that would explain why the button seems unclickable. I'm looking into it right now. What Chrome version are you on?

Yeah, I've tried switching the languages, not ALL the text on the page changes from the default language and I've tried not changing the lang. Same thing.

Thanks for the details — that's very helpful. Chrome 145 on Mac, got it. The fact that text doesn't fully change when switching languages confirms the hydration error is breaking React's event handling. I'm actively debugging this right now. I'll reply here when I have a fix deployed. shouldn't be long. Really appreciate your patience.

Update: The hydration bug has been fixed and deployed. The search should now work correctly. Thanks for the report, it helped us catch a real issue. Would love to hear if it works for you now!
