    Hi there, at version 3.01 the translate option (in this case to german langauge) looks let us say interesting :). Most is in english other things are in english and german mixed so that it is horrible to read. Do you guys need ppl who translate?

    The other thing is the Flesch Reading Ease. Is this customized to the languages or is it only for the english language? Because in different languages it looks like you need another formula. For german language: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbarkeitsindex

    //EDIT:
    I found the translation page from Yoast but the https is not secure says my browser.
    To the Flesch Reading Ease i found this from Yoast: https://yoast.com/flesch-reading-ease-score/

    So, only the english formula will work in this plugin?

    i found the formula for the english flesch reading ease score at yoast-seo.min.js

    i changed the forumla to the german one but at wp nothing changed?!

    I calculated my score for english and german manualy too and its realy only the english formula…

    So it looks like the flesch reading is only for english sites… so is there a fix or something else (like a deactivating this feature in the settings)?!
