"I can't imagine how that would happen." : Just as a hint, click on "translations" here:

1- 404 issue: I implemented the PDF generation recently and I noticed that WeasyPrint has issue with html files that have too many tags (our books have around 2*number_of_words tags in them). This is not a big issue and it will be fixed soon in the next iteration.
2- Using Google API: Google APIs and other translation tools are great for translating sentences. However, the problem with use of parallel texts for language learning is our brain laziness. After few pages, our brain looses its patient to solve the translation problems (critical thinking!?) and actually learn words and structure of sentences. The focus immediately goes toward translated sentences in your native language rather than the original text.
Personally, I learn a word for a life when I slow down and think about similar words, its root, and at the end looking it up in a dictionary. The process is valuable.
3- Team of volunteers: It is easier said than done. The functionality is present but I prefer to improve the suggestion engine as much as possible before I involve volunteers. Are you interested to join?
The bilinual Project also rebuild ebooks (modern HTML, PDF and open ePUB format) with better quality and readability( while it is not its prime goal). Take a look at one example here:

Are you in doubt between a plain file and sqlserver and you think it doesn't worth the hassle of installing a full blown sql server, making backups regularly, etc.? use sqlite.

With my naive understanding, I was expecting a more generic device that can be placed close to any microphone (laptop, phone, smart speaker, etc) something like this IKEA usb lamps : https://www.ebay.com/c/1278841657
The top menu is not working! Is it intentional?
$99 extension for jamming $50 Echo Dot is a bit too much.
Counter Attack: Since Alexagate doesn’t interfere with the Echo's speakers, Alexa can play a music that has clapping in it :P
