Well, it already looks really, really good. Congrats to everybody who worked

It may have support for more languages nowadays, but Johnny, Timothée and 
Emmanuel will be able to fill you in better in that regard.

Can we change "team" for "community"? That is how we usually refer to KDE.

From my point of view, that is it with regard to tweaks. I am sure the

This is a really nice video and I look forward to promoting it when it goes 
live. Well done all involved!

Cheers
