The interface changes language first. Long-form features stay in their original edition until translated. L'interface change de langue d'abord. Les longs articles restent dans leur edition d'origine pour l'instant. Grensesnittet skifter sprak forst. Langartiklene blir staende i originalutgaven til de er oversatt.
Section 07

Languages

A section for mistranslation, seduction, and grammatical diplomacy.

Editorial posture Languages

This section is designed to read like a proper feature desk: larger typography, fewer dead blocks, more atmosphere, and copy that behaves as though it expects readers with a memory.

Eventually this will be fed from PHP and SQL, with roles, member access, and AI-backed translation controls. For now it is the visual and editorial north star.
