Homepage
All texts ever published in the magazine are featured on the homepage, starting from the latest.
The available translations are listed in the title section.
When a new translation is published, the text comes back on top in the new language.

Texts
Once you access a text, choose a translation from the white box on the right side of the page.
Click on the title for full view or read the translation alongside the original, as a special scrolling feature keeps them aligned.
Each text can be closed at any moment via the grey toolbox.
Texts can be exported in PDF format by clicking Export at the bottom of the page.
