Natalia K Thank you so much! I made a translation error and thought I'd never get my money back. I was planning to get my money back as soon as possible and delete this app. But, Natalia, when you started helping me with the translation, I felt at peace. Thank you for your work and prompt responses to my questions. Thanks to you, I'll continue to use your services. Good luck to you and your team in your work.
