Hi, i really appreciate the work of you guys translating the editor into different languages, but please add a language selector! I am a native german speaker but i do all my tech stuff in english and for me the translations are more annoying than helpful. i have to try to translate the german words back to english to know what's meant. Besides that i would have to rearrange all of my nodes because se size changed with the longer or shorter translation.
