I checked the language-specific boards on the forum, and noticed that the standard blurb above them is poorly translated, at least in the languages I understand. While it gets the message across, it can use some improvement, at least to remove a few glaring errors:
- The original English text must've used the mistyped 'unfortunatey', wich has been left untranslated in all languages.
- All blurbs refer to the French language, translating 'French' into each of the texts, instead of referring to the specific language of the board the text is placed on.
I don't want to complain and run, so I offer alternative translations of the text, based on what I assume must've been the intention. I'll start with what I think was meant in English, then add my translations.

(* It seems to make sense, but consider that I reverse engineered this from the faulty translations. Feel free to correct, and I'll adapt the translations accordingly.)

(* I suggest 'hispanohablantes' -speakers of the Spanish language- rather than 'Españoles' -citizens of Spain- to include the many other countries that use the language)
