Es ist okay. Manchmal ist es nicht da, wenn ich es mittels rechtem Mausklick benötige. Da muß ich zurück in die Add-ons und einmal deaktivieren und gleich wieder aktivieren. Dann ist es wieder da.
Allerdings übersetzt es manchmal einen derartigen Blödsinn, dass ich die Originalsprache brauche um zu verstehen was überhaupt gemeint ist. Auch fehlen manchmal komplette Sätze.
