TRANSLATION UPDATES
Please check the app, I had to make some abbreviations where the text did not fit. You can make changes at http://trans-bcw.dataglobe.eu/ Please let me know if you do!

EASY MODE
I didn’t plan to add the easy mode now (I came up with the idea some time ago, but it felt complicated to add). But with the recent addition of all the new options I had to do something.  I can imagine how it must have felt to a first time user…

Also: some instructions are only shown in under “BASIC”.

Easy mode is enabled for new installers, existing users should see the Expert settings 

I hope it will not backfire: It does hide some of the features, but the switch is hopefully visible enough, and it’s a matter of one toggle to reveal the rest of the options. Added advantage is that the “basic” mode is not different visually, only less crowded. After one gets familiar with the main options, it’s just a matter of adding more switches. We’ll see. I am curious of your ideas.
