Hi! today I have merged various TMs ( sub-classified as per disciplines) into one of the same language combination. It took some time and later I wanted to test the new construction, with all the placeables etc., the results are stunningly funny.

At least that would be somewhat relaxing. BTW this is supposed to be an off-topic issue.Best Brandis
